US Bishops Call for Influx of 200,000 Refugees WASHINGTON, October 13, 2015 (ChurchMilitant.com) - The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) is appealing to the U.S. government to take in 100,000 Syrian refugees by the end of the year, along with an additional 100,000 from other countries. The population of Syrian refugees is overwhelmingly Muslim.
And in addition to the modern RC historical attitude toward Israel (reluctant acceptance), the USCCB sees Muslims as brothers in faith, worshiping the same god.
There is the large collection of statements by the USCCB -http://www.usccb.org/beliefs-and-teachings/ecumenical-and-interreligious/interreligious/islam/vatican-council-and-papal-statements-on-islam.cfm

We feel sure that as representatives of Islam, you join in our prayers to the Almighty, that he may grant all African believers the desire for pardon and reconciliation so often commended in the Gospels and in the Qur’an...
“Our pilgrimage to these holy places is not for purposes of prestige or power. It is a humble and ardent prayer for peace, through the intercession of the glorious protectors of Africa, who gave up their lives for love and for their belief. In recall the Catholic and Anglican Martyrs, We gladly recall also those confessors of the Muslim faith who were the first to suffer death, in the year 1848, for refusing to transgress the precepts of their religion.†- Paul VI, address to the Islamic communities of Uganda, August 1, 1969 [emp. mine.]
“I deliberately address you as brothers: that is certainly what we are, because we are members of the same human family, whose efforts, whether people realize it or not, tend toward God and the truth that comes from him. But we are especially brothers in God, who created us and whom we are trying to reach, in our own ways, through faith, prayer and worship, through the keeping of his law and through submission to his designs...
“As Christians and Muslims, we encounter one another in faith in the one God, our Creator and guide, our just and merciful judge. - John Paul II, address to representatives of the Muslims of Belgium, May 19, 1985

Meanwhile,
Evangelical leaders in the Middle East and North Africa are most likely to say religious conflict is a moderately big (37%) or very big (35%) problem. 55% of those in the Asia-Pacific region and 49% in sub-Saharan Africa also see inter- religious conflict as a moderately or very big problem. 90% who live in Muslim-majority countries say the influence of Islam is a major threat, compared with 41% of elsewhere. < - http://www.pewforum.org/2011/06/22/global-survey-of-evangelical-protestant-leaders/
That’s interesting. Muslims sure don’t believe the same thing about Christians. I wish something could be done about these religious charities sacrificing everyone’s safety for whatever reason they have for doing so.
Yes they are. I wonder what other “services” they help people with. I equate this with counties that have prisons. They get money for each prisoner. hence many who are innocent are sent there because of an agreement with court appointed useless lawyers and prosecuting attorneys. Especially in cases where those charged with a crime are below average intelligence.
