Ignatius Youssef slams West's 'Machiavellian opportunism' on migration

ROME (ChurchMilitant.com) - The Syrian patriarch of Antioch is calling on Muslim-majority countries to resettle Islamic refugees and is excoriating Western religious leaders for their "political correctness" on immigration and the persecution of Christians.

"Since there are Arab countries — with a Muslim majority — that have financial resources in billions and vast uninhabited territories, why not settle the refugees from the Middle East, thereby giving them temporary accommodation pending a political solution which will facilitate their return home?" asks His Beatitude Ignatius Youssef III Younan.

"These countries have the space, money and resources needed to do it. Furthermore, this solution would be preferable for refugees of Islamic faith who would be more comfortable with a question of religious, cultural and linguistic affinity," the primate of the Syrian Catholic Church urges.

The patriarch's outspoken remarks are in variance to Pope Francis' plea to Western countries for open doors to Muslim immigration, but echoes Cdl. Raymond Burke's call for opposition to "large-scale Muslim immigration" as "a responsible exercise of one's patriotism."

Burke quoted No Go Zones: How Shariah Law is Coming to a Neighborhood Near You, written by Raheem Kassam, a Briton of Pakistani-Muslim heritage, to highlight the demographic problem of Islamic immigration.

Youssef rebuked religious leaders for their "political correctness" in not having the courage to persuade Muslim nations to do more to help their own people in distress.

"Refugees should be told: 'You already have the opportunity to return, we guarantee you can do it safely. Instead of staying in the countries of the exodus, we will help you in your native land,'" His Beatitude told Italian newspaper Il Nuova Bussola Quotidiana in an interview two weeks after a papal audience with the Middle East patriarchs.

Europe said they would gladly let them all in and in they have come.

As every sect of Islam views the other sects as worse than Infidels and their religion demands their slaughter and torture I dont think attempting to resettle muslim refugees in different muslim countries will quite work out as the Christian suggests.

Last I heard there were nearly 300 different sects of Islam and everyone of them is in a battle to the death for domination over the others. The death of us infidels is actually a side issue to them.

I suggest strict border control to create a giant cage match.
