Matthew 24:10,11 Then he said to them: “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.
Saturday marked a day of protests across Europe after a Facebook-driven activist campaign called for a “day of action” on behalf of refugees.
“We can’t continue to allow thousands to die trying to reach Europe as they search for safety, hope and the chance to live another day,” the Facebook page states. “We can’t stay silent anymore as our politicians and the media are stigmatizing these men, women and children as threats and burdens. We can’t let our governments close all our borders and build fences to keep people in need out. That’s not what Europe should be about.”
Marchers in London worked their way to 10 Downing Street to call on Prime Minister David Cameron to accept more than the 20,000 Syrians he agreed to take over the next five years. The group held signs that read things like “Don’t Bomb Syria,” “Refugees welcome” and “Solidarity with refugees.”
Protests took place in Denmark, Austria, Romania, Greece, France and Finland.
Meanwhile, debate in Washington raged on Sunday morning talk shows about the role the U.S. can play in accepting Syrian refugees.
Democratic Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut suggested the U.S. could take in 50,000 refugees.
“It doesn’t stand to reason that Germany is going to take 800,000 and the U.S. has only taken 1,500,” he told “Fox News Sunday.” “If we want credibility in the region, we’ve got to be seen as a partner in trying to solve this humanitarian crisis.”
Wisconsin Republican Senator Ron Johnson said that any help should not compromise national security.
“It is not the fanciful to think that ISIS may be assaulting some of those refugees with some of their operatives,” he told “Fox News Sunday.” “We are taking shortcuts in terms of vetting process. … . And we need to be first concerned about our own national security. So we are a compassionate nation, but we’ve got to fully vet the individuals that we would take in.”
Where’s the elderly, where’s the sick, where are the women and children? These aren’t refugees this is an invasion of young muslim men. Europe is asking for trouble and so are we if we allow Obama to import 10,000 Syrian refugees! It only took two radicalized muslims to nearly create a slaughter at the Mohammed cartoon contest; only one to nearly murder hundreds on a train to Paris and just 20 to kill 3000 people on 9/11! Around the world hardly a day goes by that you don’t hear about a suicide bomber at an outdoor market killing dozens of people. If someone is willing to die to just kill a few dozen people then how much more would they be willing to die to set off a nuke in a western city? IMHO, Obama, the closet muslim, is using the power of the presidency to weaken the Christian voting strength of this country. Disguised as humanitarian aid, the left is using what British PM, David Cameron, calls “Emotional Blackmail” to force this on us. I think a lot of people are waking up to this, but is it too little too late?
Why have you not taken similar action for Christians that are being slaughtered?
