Liberals Rally Against Syrian Refugee Reality

At 10AM on Sunday morning, a small stream of orange-clad activists began to trickle towards a stage erected in the shadow of the Washington Monument in Washington, DC.

The assorted band of college students, career leftists, and migrants — whose orange shirts were intended to represent to the lifejackets refugees are often pictured wearing — were there to attend the DC Rally4Refugees, a rally in support of bringing more Syrian “refugees” into America.

“It’s not really a concern to me … I think we have bigger issues to worry about than what happens when they’re actually here.”

The rally began with Cindy Maxted, a “mindfulness trainer,” leading the crowd of bleeding-hearts — which excluding the volunteers and activists working the event barely exceeded 100 — in a “mindful meditation” exercise.

Her words captured the essence of the rally perfectly. “We come together with our hearts and not our head,” she said. Indeed those attending the event had clearly sacrificed common sense on the altar of emotion, and displayed either a stunning ignorance of — or indifference towards — the threat posed by mass Muslim migration from war torn regions of the globe.

Conversations with many of those in attendance made it clear that most were unaware of the full extent of the security and safety problems Muslim migrants have caused in Europe. While many of those to whom we spoke recognized the reality of terrorism and migrant sex attacks, they nevertheless insisted it wasn’t a big deal.

“It’s reasonable to be scared of those things — they’re scary — but it’s not reasonable to think that every single person who’s a refugee from a certain country is going to do that” said Ashley, a student at American University, originally from Denver.

“They’re running away from the same people that we’re scared of. They hate them just as much as we do,” insisted her classmate Sarah. “They’re just ordinary people like the rest of us — all they want is to live in their communities and raise their children,” echoed activist Jennifer Smith, who travelled from Cape Cod, Massachusetts to attend the rally.

The reality tells a different story, however. The string of high profile terrorist attacks in Europe over the past six months proves that not all who have entered the west under the guise of asylum are “ordinary people like the rest of us.”

“We have to accept that we have hit squads and sleeper cells in Germany,” said Manfred Hauser, the vice president Bavaria’s intelligence agency, BayLfV, earlier in August.

“We have substantial reports that among the refugees there are hit squads. There are hundreds of these reports, some from refugees themselves. We are still following up on these, and we haven’t investigated all of them fully,” he said.

In July it was revealed that Patrick Calvar, head of France’s General Directorate for Internal Security, said that Muslim attacks in France had put the country “on the verge of a civil war.”

There have also been a veritable deluge of reports of migrants raping and sexually-assaulting European girls in Sweden, Norway, Germany, the Netherlands, Denmark and France. Many of the attacks have occurred at music festivals this summer.

Many of the young women at the rally were unconcerned about these reports.

“It’s important to look into it, but i don’t think people should see that and say ‘we shouldn’t let refugees in because of this’ there’s also other factors to consider,” said Natalie Mills, a college student from Fairfax, VA.

“It’s not really a concern to me,” said Katherine, a college student from Falls Church. “I think we have bigger issues to worry about than what happens when they’re actually here” said her friend Stacy, from Arlington.

Shockingly, some even insisted the epidemic of Muslim migrant sex attacks is a myth. “I think there are always going to be reports that give two different opinions, two different sides of the coin,” said Rebecca, a volunteer at the event originally from Massachusetts. “There are all different kinds of people from every different culture and I think, generally speaking, those issues don’t exist,” she said.

Not everyone at the rally was there to support a massive influx of questionably vetted refugees, however. In the sea of orange was a small group. One of the men from that group was holding an American flag and was there to protest the president’s push to rush in big numbers of Syrian refugees and the proposal from Hillary Clinton to expand the program.

One of the protesters — a Tea Party activist named Ed, from Maryland — criticized the rally for highlighting emotional sob stories while downplaying legitimate security concerns. “You can just listen to these people, one speaker after another, talking about their emotional relationship to the United States or to their friends or stuff,” he said.

“It’s all on a very personal basis, not of them are addressing Islam, the historical pattern of Islam, the doctrine of conquest … which Mohammed himself commanded — none of this ever comes up,” he said. “It’s a very sanitized, low information type of affair.”
