Christian refugees not welcome?

America is about to accept 9000 Syrian Muslims, refugees of the brutal war between the Assad regime and its Sunni opposition, which includes ISIS, Al Qaeda, and various other militias. That number is predicted to increase each year. There are no Christian refugees that will be admitted.

Why? Because the Department of State is adhering with all the rigidity of a Soviet era bureaucracy to the rule that only people at risk from massacres launched by the regime qualify for refugee status. The rapes of Christian women and the butchery of Christian children do not count. No matter how moved Americans were this Christmas season by the plight of their fellow Christ followers in Syria and Iraq, no matter how horrific the visuals of beheadings, enslavement, and mass murder, the Christians fleeing death do not engender the compassion of this president.

The Christians are being raped, tortured, and murdered by militias, not by the Syrian government. This technicality condemns them to continue to be victims without hope.

BTW, those evil "militants" are part of the anti-Assad terrorists backed by the US.

If you're an Apostolic, your care for Arab Christians can only run so deep as they're not saved anyway. If they're not saved, then they're not really Christian.

No one said Christian refugees are not welcome bro.

Some dummy said we should consider only letting the Christian Syrians in and of course, there are some who think that is a good idea.

I am not one of those... flawed human beings.

My flaws are different.

If I had room in my home, I'd take in a refugee family-- even if only for a little while.

May I ask what is a little while?

I am conflicted though. How would you know they're not a terrorist? How would you know they wouldn't try to kill you? How do you know they won't steal from you or steal your identity?

I know the WRONG attitude to have and I am trying to guard against that.

I know the RIGHT attitude to have and I am trying to trust God for the unknowns.

So, since they're not 'saved' then let them eat cake, right?

Uh, yeah they did, as a matter of policy. Oh wait, you voted for the big 0, right?

Call me dum.

Well, bless your little heart.

This is a HUGE issue! We created Isis. We created Al Queda and the Taliban.
