Is it racist to react with horror to a heinous act? Have the citizens of Twin Falls remained silent when other children have been assaulted and raped by persons who are not refugees? Then yes, we would have reason to complain about a double-standard. If fundamentalist Muslims didn't practice horrific crimes children, women, and persons of other faiths on a regular basis in their own lands, we might think it racist to react when they commit such crimes here. But, it seems that those who defend the Administration policy of wholesale import of Syrian refugees have no other strategy than to attack those who question the sanity of their policy than to call US racist.
