It's a good sentiment, for sure. But something about it just feels... off. Like, "oh we need to be super nice to all these people, otherwise they will become mass murderers of innocent men women and children." I mean, really?
I definitely agree that we need to accept refugees and love all people, but because it's the right thing to do. If we feel like we need to baby and walk on egg shells with grown people in the Middle East, we're allowing Isis to control us.

"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
