a Christmas market in Berlin were murdered and 50 more were injured by
a refugee. We know that the fallacious concept of a Muslim ban inflames
and enrages our enemies and serves as a recruiting tool. So the question then becomes: Why do some Members of this esteemed
body continue to perpetuate what is willful ignorance at best and a
falsehood at worst?
