Syrian Christians fear Muslim-populated United Nations camps
Posted by Ann Corcoran on July 12, 2015
When I give presentations on our Refugee Admissions Program, I am asked all the time if we are taking Syrian Christians in our refugee flow and I tell people—very few!
UNHCR camps house mostly Muslim Syrians as Christians are too afraid to go there. In 2015, 96% of the Syrian refugees entering the US are Sunni Muslims. Photo from The Guardian:
I had heard anecdotally that Christians fear the Muslims in the United Nations camps.
Last week Leo Hohmann writing at World Net Daily confirms our suspicions in an article entitled, ‘Obama response to Christian killing fields ‘horrifying’.
Quoting George Marlin, author of a new book, “Christian Persecutions in the Middle East: A 21st Century Tragedy,” Hohmann tells us this (emphasis mine):
As of December 2014, 600,000 Syrian Christians had fled their country or have been internally displaced, Marlin reports. In Aleppo, more than 65 percent have been forced to leave.
He told WND most Syrian Christians will not go to the United Nations refugee camps for two reasons. First, they are afraid they will be harmed and, second, they do not want to leave their country. [Hohmann previously reported that Assad had protected the Christians.—ed]
“The Christians are afraid to go to those camps, because the camps are basically populated by Muslims, and they’re afraid of retaliation and harm in these camps,” Marlin said. “So what is happening with the Christian refugees is the Christian community is basically taking care of these people, they’re staying in the churches, they’re staying in Christian homes, and we at Aid to the Church in Need are trying to get aid to the churches that are housing them.”
So every time you see a Syrian camp photo, or see that one of our resettlement contractors is over there helping in the UN camps, or you see Angelina Jolie visiting a Syrian camp, remember they are helping mostly Muslims.
What do the numbers look like?
Just a few days ago, I reported that the refugees now numbering over 1,000 who have been admitted to the US since 2012 are 94% Muslim. After reading this WND article I went back to check the data base for just the Syrians admitted to the US in 2015. What did I find? The number of Muslims admitted is even greater when only 2015 is analyzed!
In 2015 we admitted 763 Syrians so far. Of that number only 23 are Christians, 36 say they are simply Muslim and another 698 are Sunni Muslims.
So 96% of those arriving in US towns and cities are Syrian Muslims (mostly Sunni Muslims).
That means that US resettlement contractors including the US Conference of Catholic Bishops, Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service, World Relief, Church World Service, Episcopal Migration Ministries and the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society are placing mostly Sunni Muslims (chosen by the UN) in your towns! And, you pay for it!
The Jihad Caucus is aptly named!
Fourteen US Senators have asked Obama to admit 65,000 Syrians before his term in office ends. We call them the Jihad Caucus because they are advocating for more Muslim refugees to be admitted to the US.
