<\/p>\n
Following Bana on Twitter can be heartbreaking…but also a vivid reminder of how horrible war is, and how children and innocent lives are caught in the crossfire of religious ideology and nationalism. Some would have you believe Bana is a terrorist because of her nationality and religion. They would suggest that allowing children like Bana refugee status in the USA would endanger American lives. Maybe they should read her tweets. Maybe they need their hearts broken a little.
\nBecause, I’d argue just the opposite…every refugee we deny entry is a potential terrorist. Those who are granted freedom and shelter from oppression will understand what America truly stands for, and would sooner come to Her defense than commit acts of hatred towards America and Americans.
\nTerrorism is as much about American hypocrisy as Islamic jihad. Jihadists see our lofty goals and our exploitative actions in contradiction of each other, and are fueled by that hypocrisy.<\/p>\n
