Without a name, the Syrian refugee problem becomes impersonal. With a name, it takes on a face.
Rula Jabbour's father fled Syria when he was tipped off that terrorists were on their way to kidnap and behead him.
Months later, Jabbour's cousin who was pregnant with twins was killed in a terrorist rocket attack.
"The refugees escape the hell of ISIS, and we say we are afraid because they are ISIS," said Jabbour, a 32, college student.
She worries about her 13-year-old sister who is still living in Syria with their parents.
She has a point, "When you turn your back on these refugees, you make ISIS win."
Syrian Refugees? Yes or No?
