You say: If someone makes the claim of religious persecution, is it not prudent of the person assessing such claims to assure that they (the claimer) are being truthful - and to determine such to the best of their ability? YES!

In essence, this is a litmus test of the person’s religious claim (are you of the right religion to lay this claim, etc...). yes!

What YOU argued before (and the point of the article itself) is "once we determine they are muslim, we shouldn't let them in".

What I am saying is "Please show me the law that says we can base our decision on refugee status what religion someone is" because the law the article (and you) cited does NOT say that.

This is copied from my initial reply to you: “I certainly see religion mentioned several times. Though it doesn’t mean a litmus test solely based on religion needs to be applied, there certainly can be and is one if that is the claim being made by the applicant (that they are fleeing because of religious persecution).”

And...
“Also, look at all the Coptic Christians being denied who are legitimately making that exact claim.”

And...
“Regardless, a litmus test is being applied by Obama regarding Copts. He is a liar, a hypocrite and a general DB with regard to his statements towards anyone who disagrees with him.”

Those are the exact things I said, I don’t believe I claimed what you say I did.
