So sad, but politicizing this girls trauma is probably even sadder.
Who cares who did it?
Rapes and murders have been happening way before any Syrian refugee came to America.
But hey, these kids have brown skin and are foreigners,
so let's freak the ---- out while ignoring every other rape case that is perpetrated by Americans.

The girl in question was five so it could not be consensual, however the facts in the Original Post differ significantly from what I just read here.

So when it says that 'none are Syrian refugees' it somehow means they are Syrian refugees?
They either are or are not from Syria. Where are they from?

I wonder, did you get this "news" from Reddit's, The Donald? I've been waiting to see who would post this.
In any case, it's mostly bullspit.
Snopes
We contacted county prosecutor Grant Loebs to obtain first-hand information about the rumors. He confirmed to us that an incident did take place at the Fawnbrook Apartment complex in Twin Falls, Idaho, on 2 June 2016 involving a five-year-old girl, a seven-year-old boy, a ten-year-old boy, and a 14-year-old boy. Loebs said that the three boys were of Middle Eastern descent, but they were not Syrian and he had no information indicating they were refugees.
Loebs told us there was no indication a knife was involved in the incident, and that no one was "raped" or murdered (although contact of a sensitive nature allegedly occurred). Moreover, he stated that the investigation was a police matter, not one involving the local city council (which has no jurisdiction in criminal cases).

Do tell me who are the people of Middle Eastern descent who are being brought under the Syrian refugee programs?...

Syria is not the only place asylum seekers come from in the Middle East.

The people might have confused them since the perpetrators were of Middle Eastern descent, but how do we know the authorities are not lying about that as well?...
Thanks to your link we have confirmation that the perpetrators are at the least of Middle Eastern descent when on several occasions authorities claimed that they were not, or stated not to know anything about this case?

The kids weren't Syrian refugees nor was a knife involved according to the police that handled the case. Political bait at its finest.
