In reflecting upon the futility of Canada's interventions against terrorists, the Toronto Star's Mitch Potter makes a great insight into how warmly receiving Muslim refugees to Canada can actually work against the Jihadist's attempt to divide the world into either the camp of "the crusaders" or "the caliphate". According to ISIS' own writings, they fear a "grey zone" where Muslims live in peace with other non-Muslims: thus, by welcoming Syrian & Iraqi refugee families, we can actually work against the violent extremists, instead of adopting their "us versus them" mentality!

Clearly, we do not have to fear that terrorists or economic opportunists are going to be the ones coming to Canada: neither of these groups are interested in waiting out the years it takes to work through our refugee system. Fr.
