DID THE U.S. DENY A VISA TO AN IRAQI NUN FOR FEAR SHE MIGHT SEEK SANCTUARY?
American Prowler ^ | Emily Zanotti

Before I started this piece, I did a quick Google search using the term "ISIS Killing Christians" in order to help demonstrate a point that the Obama Administration, while licking the boots of Iranians and gleefully ignoring the forward march of radical Islamists across Iraq and Syria in order to concentrate on easier topics, has turned a blind eye to the murder of hundreds, if not thousands, of Christians in ISIS-controlled areas.

My search, which focused on news stories, turned up over 2.2 million results.

Just this week ISIS executed 30 Christians in Ethiopia and 21 in Egypt. ISIS has wiped out entire villages, sent thousands scattering to friendlier nations. This week, a delegation of Iraqi minority groups, including representatives of the Yazidi and of local Shia groups, is making its way to Washington D.C. to testify about what is happening on the ground in their home country. The State Department has approved all of their visas save one — the visa of the only Christian in the group, an Iraqi Dominican nun — because the State Department was too afraid that she would seek asylum from the atrocities she faces at home, and might intentionally overstay her visa, turning her into an illegal immigrant.

Is there really any question regarding the true aims of this regime?

Obama is holding the door for Muslims and barring it for Christians.

This is a Congressional hearing. Is there just ONE member of Congress that has the courage to get this nun to the hearings? BTW, she was the ONLY Christian invited to testify regarding religious persecution by ISIS.

Of course, MOST of the Christians in the region are no longer able to speak, since they have been beheaded, stoned, or crucified.

I think I’ll try to contact Chris Smith (Rep NJ). I live in NJ and he is a true warrior for Christian FReedom.

No!

The Visa was denied out of fear of what she would say on the floor of the House.

She should have flown to Mexico and walked across the border.

No because pretty much everyone has something that they don't want made public.

Has the State Department granted refugee status to any ME Christians?? or just Muslims?? I believe that is an important question that must be answered.

I have a pretty good hunch that much of the fetid foul rot coming out of Washington comes from the State Department. It needs to be looked into and determined who exactly has been hired there and what are their agendas. While different Presidents and their staff come and go just how permanent are the workers at the State Department? I remember hearing that when Bush 2 got into office he left the SD as is. Just who has staffed the State Department? Does anyone know more about this unelected, very powerful group of people? We must somehow clean that department up.
