DEFINITION 2
:In 2011 a revolutionary wave hit the neighboring nations around
syria , the people wanted democratic leadership. The Al Assad
family , who ruled syria since the 70s refused to step down. This
led to protest and the government re sponded with violence, with
the civil war going on it was easier for Isis( a militaristic jihadist
group to come in). The syrians civilian s were trapped in between
the Al Assad regime , the rebel group and the religious extremists.
Some of the refugees escaped to ne ighboring countries and a
majority of them tried to flee to Europ e illegally.

Maryland governor Larry Hogan.This announce ment came after authorities
announced that they believe at least one the people responsible for the paris
attack entered europe among the current wa ve of syrian refugees . At the G20
summit last year President Obama said Whe n I hear folks say that: Well, maybe
we should just admit the Christians but not the Muslims, when I hear political
leaders suggesting that there would be a reli gious test for which person whos
fleeing from a war-torn country is admitted, w hen some of those folks themselves
come from families who benefited from pro tection when They were fleeing
political persecution, thats shameful,
