<p><strong>&ldquo;We are at war,&rdquo;</strong> announced ;French Prime Minister Manual Valls in the wake of the attacks in Brussels last week. But what did our president do? ;Less than one week after two bombings in the EU&rsquo;s capital left 30 dead and over 200 wounded, President Obama has reaffirmed his plan to import more Middle Eastern refugees into the United States. ;</p>
<p>&ldquo;As we move forward, we have to wield another weapon alongside our airstrikes, our military, our counterterrorism work, and our diplomacy &ndash; and that&rsquo;s the power of our example,&rdquo; he said in his weekly address to the nation. ;</p>
<p>President Obama ;made it clear that he will not back off his promise to allow 100,000 Syrian and Iraqi refugees make new homes in America &ndash; despite the fact that a majority of Americans oppose the idea. ;Apparently he didn&#8217;t notice what happened to Germany and Sweden after they opened their ;gates&#8230;</p>
<p>&ldquo;Our openness to refugees fleeing ISIL&rsquo;s violence; our determination to win the battle against ISIL&rsquo;s hateful and violent propaganda &ndash; a distorted view of Islam that aims to radicalize young Muslims to their cause,&rdquo; are central to the fight, he continued, adding that American Muslims are our most important partners in this plan. ;</p>
<p>We must &ldquo;reject any attempt to stigmatize Muslims Americans,&#8221; he said. The comment ;may have been a shot at Donald Trump, who proposed banning Muslims from entering the United States until the situation with Syria and ISIS becomes more stable. ;Such efforts, said ;Obama, &ldquo;are contrary to our character, our values, and to our history as a nation built around the idea of religious freedom.&rdquo; ;</p>
<p><strong>Editor&#8217;s Note:</strong> This is foolhardy on Obama&#8217;s part. I can&#8217;t imagine anything more dangerous.</p>
