Police believe attackers used forged passports to stigmatize refugees
Source: CTV News (Montreal)
There is evidence the Syrian passport found near the body of one of the Paris attackers is a fake.
Following Friday's deadly assault which left 129 people dead, French authorities found a Syrian passport near the body of one of the perpetrators.
That passport, with the name Ahmad Al Mohammad, was found beside the body of a man who blew himself up outside the stadium where a soccer match was taking place between France and Germany.
In the days since the attack multiple copies of that passport have turned up.

(7,625 posts)CTV is a credible source. This story exposes the Republican governors and presidential candidates as xenophobic fear-mongers devoid of elementary caution or judgment when presented with an opportunity to pander to the most bigoted members of their base.

Recall last week's hot topic for the GOP. Red Starbucks cups.

I was in my Yarmulke because it was Shabbat. You know, Jewish. . .she hissed at me that I was unAmerican and that I should go back to where I was from. I said "Queens?"
I am glad I left again. . .this time for good.
