Iraqi Sister Who Fled Islamic State is Denied Entry to Britain for the Second Time
The Catholic Herald (UK) ^ | 6/21/18 | Staff Reporter

Dominican Sister Ban Madleen was applying to visit her family

An Iraqi Sister who was forced to flee Islamic State in 2014 has been denied entry to Britain for a second time.

Sister Ban Madleen previously applied for a UK visa to visit her sick sister but was refused permission in March. A second application for a month-long trip to see her sister and sister’s family was denied earlier this month.

A letter from the UK Visas and Immigration division of the Home Office said she had not satisfied immigration rules – in essence, not proving she had sufficient funds and that she was genuinely seeking to visit her family rather than trying to make Britain her main home. (It cited immigration rules V4.2 and V4.3.)

Fr Benedict Kiely, founder of Nasarean.org, wrote on Twitter: “The UK has, for the second time, denied a visa to my friend, Iraqi nun Sister Ban Madleen – driven out of her convent by ISIS but unacceptable for a month’s visit to the UK. What is wrong with Britain?”

Sister Ban, whose Dominican convent in the Christian town of Qaraqosh on the Nineveh plain was occupied by ISIS for two years, settled in Erbil, the capital of Iraqi Kurdistan, where she set up pre-school centres.

There are those trying to escape the barbarism and those trying to spread it. If we in the West want to remain civilized we need to heed the difference more than we have.

But of course she was!
She's clearly not a Muslim or potential terrorist so, of what use could she possibly be to the British?

If she had an RPG under her habit her application would have been rubber stamp approved in an instant.

Put on a hijab and bring ten kids with you. You’ll get a mansion to live in and thousands of pounds a month in welfare. England is dead. If they don’t wake up soon, within ten years their royal family will be hanging from lamp posts under an Islamic flag hoisted over Buckingham Palace. Idiots.

Because the movers and shakers only want to let in people who are going to destroy western civilization so they can set up their NWO and run the place.
