Are you aware that Christians are being horrifically persecuted/killed in Syria? That they desperately need a refuge from that hell-on-earth of a country?
If so, please contact the Obama administration. Because – best case scenario – it does not appear to have any idea that this is happening. And – worst case – Obama & Co. doesn’t give a damn.
Excerpted from Patrick Goodenough’s article at cnsnews.coml:
The Obama administration has admitted 499 Syrian refugees so far this month, with no Christians among them.
Of the 499 admitted in May, 495 are Sunni Muslims and the remaining four are described simply as “Moslem” in State Department Refugee Processing Center data.
Since FY2016 began on October 1, a total of 2,235 Syrian refugees have been resettled in the United States. Of them, 10 (0.44 percent) are Christians: three Catholics, two Orthodox, one Greek Orthodox and four refugees identified simply as “Christian.”
Christians make up the biggest non-Muslim minority in Syria – about 10 percent before the civil war erupted.
Meanwhile the State Department figures show that 2,170 (97 percent) of the 2,235 Syrian refugee newcomers in FY2016 are Sunni Muslims. The rest are made up of 17 Shi’a Muslims, 27 other Muslims, 10 Yazidis, and one refugee identified as “other religion.”
This marks the first time the fraction of Christians admitted during any given month in FY2016 has fallen below half a percentage point. Last October, it was 2.1 percent. By year’s end it had dropped to 0.9 percent, and over the ensuing months it has edged down to 0.8, 0.7, 0.5 and now 0.4 percent.
The Obama administration promised to bring us together…but, instead, has torn us apart more than any administration I know of in my lifetime.
And, as its virtual exclusion of Muslim refugees from Syria is making it plain, Obama & Co. is doing precisely the same thing internationally as well.
I count the seconds until this woeful bunch is out of power.
