If I remember correctly the parable wasn't about making someone else take care of them. If people want the benefit from God for doing a good deed they need to do it themselves. I'm fine with anyone wanting to take their time, money, resources and whatever else over there to help those people. Have at it. I'll spend my time here taking care of our own.Mike, your post asking why we should help Muslim kids reminds me of the parable of the 'Good Samaritan'. I can think of sound logical reasons for why all those Priests and Levites passed by. They all reasoned pretty much like you do, I suppose. And it even makes sense. But if you will notice, the story doesn't record the why they passed by. It only records that they did.Why do we have to bring those muslim kids here? Is it our job to not only transport them and their families here but to pay for their surgery and the families welfare? And if we do that when does this hospitality end? Do they go back home or do we have to keep them here? Why should any of us be responsible for Iranian kids? Obie shipped them pallets of cash and a pathway to nukes. Is it too far out of line to think maybe we shouldn't take on all of their medical issues as well? If you're not worried about islamic terrorists you're a fucking retard. Or at minimum someone with enough protection they will never be settled near you and it's not your problem. It's someone else's problem. You know, the people that hate them when they are there unlike you not having to deal with them from afar..
Conservatives are so very much afraid of Islamic terrorists they are convinced we must be constantly vigilant, so vigilant they would deny lifesaving surgery to infants from some Muslim countries. Right-wingers believe the Iranians are so shifty, they are using their recently reactivated centrifuges to produce their dreaded nuclear baby bombs...
The righties' panties are in knots.

The one thing I always notice about liberals. They are very giving. Of other peoples time, money and welfare. They don't give any of their own but they are quick to call you out if you don't give yours.
The parable was to answer the question who is my neighbor?
Moreover it teaches us that the law cannot save UA from the law, only Christ can.
After all, he is the good Samaritan
