Why Did the Obama Administration Discriminate Against Christian Refugees From Syria?

Posted on 01/30/2017 8:00:50 AM PST by pinochet

99 percent of refugees from Syria who were admitted to America were Muslims. Only 1 percent were Christians.

Christians are 10 percent of Syria's population. If Christians did not suffer discrimination, they should have made up at least 10 percent of Syrian refugees.

Why does Obama hate Syrian Christians?

Was the Obama administration the most anti-Christian in America's history? Or was there another administration that was hostile to Christianity?

Actually, less than 0.1% were Christian. The last data which I read on the subject showed less than 20 out of the last batch of 12,000 refugees admitted.

Well Christians don’t ‘behead people, nor do they burn people alive, not do they drop them from tall buildings, nor do they put them in cages to drown’....

Since this is what Barky’s people do, I would imagine that is why he supported them...

There are probably several reasons, starting with Christians are the fundamental enemy of liberalism. However, another item to consider is the Christians overwhelmingly back Assad; Assad being the least, worst alternative available. Bringing them to the US would give average people direct access to their views which ran counter to Obama’s views.

As Fox News reported:

The Obama administration hit its goal this week of admitting 10,000 Syrian refugees -- yet only a fraction of a percent are Christians, stoking criticism that officials are not doing enough to address their plight in the Middle East. 

Of the 10,801 refugees accepted in fiscal 2016 from the war-torn country, 56 are Christians, or .5 percent.

It may not be that the lack of Christian refugees is an indication of discrimination. It may just indicate the sudden flood of refugees is a move by Islam to wage Jihad. The whole refugee crisis is possibly a scam.

The fact that ISIS announced they would flood the west with jihad pretending to be refugees before the “crisis” happened, and the fact that the flood is primarily military age males seems to indicate the latter.

Normally refugees are of mixed ages and genders lacking military age males.

And Christians being one of the most persecuted of the non-Muslims in the region, have gotten short shrift all around.

There may have been more Christians actually included in the original caravan that left Syria, but many of them were murdered along the way by their Muslim companions.

Christians are by no means the only religious minority heavily persecuted. The Kurdish Yazidi people and the “wrong kind” of Muslims also suffer much more than the usual amount of negative attention.

Per Obama’s State Department rules, to be a “refugee” you must be oppressed by a constituted government. Anti-Assad Syrians are by definition oppressed by the Syrian government, hence they are “refugees” under Obama’s definition.

Syrian and Iraqi Christians are being systematically slaughtered by Al Qaeda and ISIS, which are not recognized government entities, therefor Christians do not qualify as refugees. Genocide has been committed against them, but if you do not use the word “genocide” then you do not trigger any of the legal protections that spring from that.

Christians are being slaughtered en masse in their villages, the ones who make it to the refugee camps are murdered in the camps, the ones who make it to the boats are tossed overboard and drowned, the ones who make it to Germany are assaulted in the streets there by muslims. But they do not qualify for protection as refugees.

If you support Al Qaeda or ISIS, you are attacked by the Syrian government, which means you do qualify as a refugee and you would be allowed in the US. Christians who made it here have actually been sent back because they did not qualify.

Barack Hussein Obama was a PLOT, complete with a fake birth certificate, fake Selective Service card and all.

Hussein was a PLOT by the U.N. Globalist Cabal to expand the Muslim Caliphate. Hussein was the 'Muslim Refugee Maker' of his day, flooding America with more proud soldiers of the Caliphate on behalf of his globalist handlers.

I read that only people who were in designated “refugee camps” (I don’t remember their actual title) were considered for coming to the USA from Syria as refugees. Since Christians were attacked if they tried to live in these places, they were never even considered. Sounds like Obama “logic” to me.
