This should now make it depressingly clear to people that europe has more pressing concerns than taking care of the refugees of other countries.
I really can't agree with you here. While admitting vast waves of Middle Eastern refugees does present very real security concerns, I don't think it's fair to take an "us first" approach in response. Without cheapening the tragedy of what happened in Paris, this attack should remind us what some of these refugees face on a daily basis. Terrorist attacks in Syria, Israel, Jordan, etc barely even make the news in the West because of their frequency. You then propose to deny those who flee safe harbor, as if they brought these attacks in like some sort of contagion?
The attacks on Paris are shocking for the Western world because they reminded us that no one is really safe and that anyone could be attacked. Ignoring the refugee crisis and turning them away won't keep you or me safe.
