The Ridiculous Conspiracy Theories People Fell For In 2016

Syrian Refugees Attacking

Syria is in the midst of a massive humanitarian crisis, with more and more innocent civilians being killed every day. Many are fleeing their country merely to survive, and yet in many places (including the United States) they are met with fear rather than open arms. Many conspiracy sites have started to claim that the Syrian Refugee Crisis is a Trojan horse and that ISIS members are posing as refugees in order to gain access to the United States and commit terrorist attacks here.

Of course, if you take a look at the work of any reliable journalist who is currently stationed in Syria, you will see that the crisis there is very real and people are losing their lives in bloody attacks almost daily. What human wouldn’t want to flee with their family to try and survive? There have been no proven connection between Syrian refugees to ISIS and there likely isn’t to be. Check your sources, people.
