Rick Santorum says we shouldn't accept Christian Refugees either.

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

ISIS wants Non-Muslims and Muslims to turn on each other so ISIS can get more recruits, that is what ISIS wants. ISIS has killed many more times Muslims than Non-Muslims since they view "fake Muslims" (i.e any Muslim who doesn't hold their radical warped views) as a bigger threat than non-Muslims.

Santorum has really gone nuts with regards to foreign policy in recent weeks. I mean:

We should not accept refugees based on their religion. That's not what America is about.

So if you want to make the argument that we should err on the side of caution and not accept Syrian refugees at this time (a position I favor), it follows that you don't accept any refugees from that country.

As to driving a wedge between Muslims and non-Muslims, the rift that's most problematic at the moment is the one that exists between Shias and Sunnis. Unfortunately, that's an issue that's not going away anytime soon, and there's really nothing we can do about it.

In this case, the religion of the refugees is inextricably intertwined with their politics, and their views toward America.

Even making a plausible argument that that's the case, I still fail to see how you can ensure an accurate litmus test for religious beliefs, and how applying such a test to filter potentially problematic people is anything but a bad idea. It would set a truly warped precedent. I would much rather see us trying to address the problem at the source, by enabling safe zones within Syria in an attempt to stem the tide of people fleeing the country.
