http://lauraturner.religionnews.com/: In light of Friday’s terrorist attacks in Paris, a number of US governors have chosen to close their doors to Syrian refugees. The logical inconsistency of this decision baffles the mind; consider, for instance, that the two masterminds of the attacks were a French national and a Belgian national. Consider also that there are so many Syrian refugees (3 million at last count, not including the 6.5 million who are displaced within Syria) precisely because they are trying to escape the kind of horrific violence that was perpetrated in Paris last week. Consider, finally, that many of the governors of these states that are banning Syrian refugees have spoken publicly about their Christian faith. This would be a good time for them to turn to their Bibles for guidance:

Bobby Jindal, governor of Lousiana

I just signed an Executive Order instructing state agencies to take all available steps to stop the relocation of Syrian refugees to LA.

“As Christians, we’re secure in the knowledge that in the Book of Life, our God wins,” Jindal told Christianity Today. He gets off that cross. He beats Satan. We’re not called to be despondent. We are called to be salt and light and to be planting the seeds of the gospel.”

Mike Huckabee, 2016 presidential candidate and former governor of Arkansas

If @SpeakerRyan will not lead & reject the importation of those fleeing the Middle East he needs to step down today & let someone else lead.
