Could be some Iranians, too, apparently:
Interesting article. One thing I notice is there seems to be little mention of girls, the boys play on the beach. The boys do this or that. The women wear hijabs, etc.
Sounds more Muslim than Christian or Hindu or anything else, and it sounds like they’re bringing their cult ure with them rather than seeking freedom and assimilation.
I’m not sure why you think these Muslims are the ones Australia has asked the US to accept. Maybe I’m wrong, but I’m getting the feeling that because you know there are Muslims on Manus and Nauru, you are assuming that that is who we are talking about here.
There are also a significant number of Christians refugees in both places, and as I’ve said, I’m fairly sure they are the ones Australia has asked the US to take some of. That’s the only thing that really makes sense to me. Australia wants the US to take some of these people and will have asked the US to take the ones most attractive to the US - not the ones the US is most likely to say no to.
And I really can’t see President Trump continuing to support the agreement under any other circumstances.
