Folks , here is a REAL 5th gen Chtistian American that married in to my family
Emily Rine Butler
This absolutely breaks my heart, along with the rampant xenophobia being spewed on FB this week. Lemme break it down for you: (1) Being a refugee does NOT make you a terrorist; (2) Being Islamic does NOT make you a terrorist; (3) showing NO compassion towards individuals (esp. children) who have lost everything and have been forced to flee their homes to survive by barring them from our borders DOES however make you UN-American and UN-Christian.
Call me a bleeding heart liberal if you must, but chances are YOUR ancestors benefited from us not closing our borders even when public opinion consistently didn't want to let them in (see the Irish, Germans, Jews, Polish, etc.)
As Americans, we derive strength in our diversity and our compassion.
If we let fear dictate our public policies, then we have truly lost our moral compass.

Being muslim might not make you a terrorist, but you can only become a jihadist if you are a muslim.
