10,000th Syrian refugees and 0.5% are Christians

[Timmy]

The op makes an assumption that Christians are escaping syria at the same rate as the mulim refugees .

1. Being a minority , they may have been the first ones out of the place .

2. Maybe they are safe in parts of the country protected by the more secular Assad gov .

I personally believe that any so-called "Christian" who supports the bombing of Abortion Clinics, who engages in personal attacks against Abortion Providers should be locked up as a terrorist.

The Right to Freedom of Religion is exactly that, a Right. That Right is not an exclusive Right granted to a chosen select few based on they worship a Jew nailed to cross.

Freedom of Religion does not grant a chosen select few the right to decide who can and/or cannot get married.

Freedom of Religion does not grant a chosen select few to right decide who can and/or cannot use public restrooms.

Freedom of Religion does not grant a chosen select few to decide for any person, any where, at any time to decide what is and/or is not moral, based solely and completely on their individual right to worship their version of their god based on their version of their fiction holy book. Your morals are your own. How you chose to worship your version of your magical, mystical non-existent sky man does not allow you to decide for others what is and/or is not moral.

Your version of your god is exactly that, your version. How you chose to worship your version of your god does not make you special and does not give a right to decide anything for anyone other than you.

You do not have the right to inflict on anyone your own personal interpretation of an over rated fiction book that has been written and rewritten way to many times to be taken as anything other than what it is, full of lies, half-truths and parable's that are in no way, shape and/or form based on reality.

Thousands of Christians, Protestant and Catholics, "Good Germans" all happily joined in the murder of over 6,000,000 of Jews. Jewish "Terrorists" bombed the King David Hotel, all in the name of creating a Jewish Homeland.

At the height of the Civil Rights Movement, the KKK, with the blessing of their local pastor, bombed Black Churches, killed Black Civil Rights Workers, killed three White Students in Mississippi who were registering Black Voters. Former Secretary of State Rice missed being killed in one such bombing.

You can believe to your hearts content in your version of your mystical, magical non-existent sky man and his murdered Jewish Son all you want.

But that belief does not entitle you to decide for anyone else how they should worship or what version of the magical, mystical non-existent sky man they can worship.

A Muslim has the self-same right to Freedom of Religion you do.

Which is exactly what Freedom of Religion means. Denying the Freedom of Religion to a certain select group of people, or restricting the Freedom of Religion to a certain select group of people takes away that freedom.

Nobody has a right to immigrate to this country genius...the rest of your stupidity is just that..stupidity

10 of the Worst Terror Attacks by Extreme Christians and Far-Right White Men

Most Blacks are Christian, most Hispanics in the world are Catholic. You can randomly pick 10,000 white men out of our population and I'll bet you not ONE is a white wing Christian terrorist. On the other hand , out of the first 10K Islamic refugees you are guaranteed to have several ISIS members, seeing as how its their intention to infiltrate the US.

The US doesn't pick and choose refugees based on religion - they are referred through the UN.

Facts about the Syrian Refugees

It’s important to note that the Syrian refugees are referred to the U.S. by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.


From 2013 though Nov. 17, the U.N. says it has referred 22,427 Syrian refugees to the U.S. for “resettlement consideration.” The U.N. could not tell us how many of the 22,427 U.N. referrals were Christian, and the State Department did not know how many Christian Syrians may have been rejected by the U.S. But we know the U.S. is drawing from a limited pool of applicants provided by the U.N. from a predominately Muslim country.


So what religion are the Syrian refugees admitted to the U.S.?


The vast majority are Sunni Muslims, who make up 2,128, or 93 percent, of the Syrian refugees in the U.S. The Sunnis are about 74 percent of the Syrian population, according to the CIA, but “they tend to support the rebels and oppose the Assad regime, and Syrian Sunnis have been subject to ethnic cleansing at the hands of the Alawite minority in recent months,” as the Washington Post reported on Oct. 18, 2012.


This explains why Sunni Muslims are disproportionately represented among Syrian refugees in the U.S., Andrew Tabler, a Middle East expert at the Washington Institute, told us in an email.


Syrian President Bashar Hafez al-Assad’s regime is “made up of Alawites AND other minorities like Crishtians,” said Tabler, who wrote a 2011 book called “In the Lion’s Den: An Eyewitness Account of Washington’s Battle with Syria.”


“The reason why is that most refugees are not displaced because of ISIS, but as a result of bombardments by the Assad regime,” Tabler told us, explaining the large percentage of Sunnis who have been admitted to the U.S. from Syria. “The regime has attempted (but failed) to shoot them into submission. Those fleeing the fighting who are not with the regime have to run to neighboring countries for protection and become refugees. And some of them eventually apply to come to the U.S. as refugees.”


Kenneth Pollack, a former CIA military analyst in the Middle East who is now a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, offered two other possible factors.


“In addition, much of the fighting has taken place in heavily Sunni areas (because most of the country is Sunni),” Pollack said. “Finally, much of the Sunni-controlled territory is controlled by ISIS, and nobody except absolute lunatics WANT to live under ISIS.”​

Christians won't be blowing up shopping malls, so Muslims get priority by Obama.

Yes. Isis territory is super dangerous for Christians. Who says the refugees are from Isis areas only?

And Isis has killed a lot more Muslims than Christians .

 

[StLucieBengal]

Obama doesn't want Christians in this country even though Christians are the only ones facing certain death in the Middle East.

We should only be taking Christians since they are the only ones who are for sure not Islamic terrorists.

 

[LuckyDuck]

christians ?

gimme a damn break.

freaking bible thumpers, I tell ya.

It's better having them brought here than low-life Muslims who want to destroy all we cherish, including our own lives. The Christians are the only real refugees.

 

[ninja007]

the biggest genocide is in the ME, killing of Christians by ISIS and muslims.

Some interesting stats between Michigan and Syria


Syria's land area 71,479 sq mi, population 17,064,854 as of 2014...Density 306.5/sq mile.

Michigan land area 96,716 sq mi, population 9,922,576 as of 2015. Density 174/sq mile.

One million Syrians for Detroit wouldn't even make Michigan as dense in population compared to Syria.
