Refugee Resettlement Watch: Will American refugee worker Peter Kassig be next on ISIS list? - "Peter had earlier helped with the resettlement of Burmese refugees in Indiana before making the jump to helping refugees in Syria. ... some cities in Indiana, especially Fort Wayne, have been completely overloaded with mostly Burmese refugees."


Will American refugee worker be next on ISIS list?



Apparently ISIS has featured an Indiana refugee worker for its next possible beheading.  Peter Kassig briefly served in the US Army, but came from a family "with a long history of doing humanitarian work."
In fact, near the end of this AP story we learn that Peter had earlier helped with the resettlement of Burmese refugees in Indiana before making the jump to helping refugees in Syria.   Longtime readers know that some cities in Indiana, especially Fort Wayne, have been completely overloaded with mostly Burmese refugees.  It is one of the first overloaded cities we learned about back in 2007 and the situation there prompted formerSenator Richard Lugar to ask for a GAO study of the refugee program which concluded that communities are completely unprepared for the numbers the US State Department and their contractors are bringing in.  But I digress...
Will ISIS care that he was a good person helping refugees? Or, that he converted to Islam? ...
