President Trump Reverse Obama’s Anti-Christian Refugee Policy

If freedom lovers write the history books, President Trump may very well go down as one of the great Presidents in U.S. history.

President Trump Reverses Obama’s Anti-Christian Refugee Policy

Christian refugee admissions increase during the first five months of Trump presidency.

By Joseph Klein, Front Page Magazine, July 19, 2017:

After declaring that Christians have “been horribly treated” by the refugee program under former President Barack Obama, President Donald Trump has reversed the Obama administration’s disgraceful discrimination against Christian refugees.

According to a Pew Research Center analysis of U.S. State Department refugee data, during the period from January 21, 2017 – President Trump’s first full day in office – through June 30, “9,598 Christian refugees arrived in the U.S., compared with 7,250 Muslim refugees. Christians made up 50% of all refugee arrivals in this period, compared with 38% who are Muslim.”

From April through June 2017, Iraq was “the only Muslim-majority nation among the top six origin countries.” The number of Syrian refugees admitted to the U.S. from January 21, 2017 through June 30, 2017 was 1779. Comparing the number of refugee admissions from Syria for the entire month of January with the entire month of February 2017, the number dropped by nearly half. By June 2017, the number of refugees admitted from Syria was about 26 percent of the already low number of 673 admitted in February.

By contrast, Pew Research Center reported that in fiscal year 2016 – Barack Obama’s last full fiscal year as president – “the U.S. admitted the highest number of Muslim refugees of any year since data on self-reported religious affiliations first became publicly available in 2002.” Overall, the number of Muslims admitted as refugees exceeded the number of Christians who were admitted.

Of the 12,486 refugees from Syria admitted to the United States during that same fiscal year by the Obama administration, about 99 percent were Muslim and less than 1 percent were Christian. Estimates of the Christians’ proportion of the total population of Syria have ranged from 5 to 10 percent since the onset of the Syrian civil war. Muslims made up 87% of Syria’s total population.

Former Secretary of State John Kerry declared in March of last year that the Islamic State had been committing genocide against Christians, Yazidis and other minorities in the Middle East. Nevertheless, the Obama administration decided that Christians and other refugees belonging to minority religious faiths did not deserve any priority for admission to the U.S.  In fact, the Obama administration discriminated against Christians. It admitted proportionately less Christians relative to the total number of refugees from Syria than even the lower end of Christians’ estimated proportion of the total population of Syria. Incredibly, since the beginning of the Syrian conflict, approximately 96% of the Syrian refugees admitted to the United States by the Obama administration were Sunni Muslims even though ISIS and al Qaeda jihadists are themselves Sunni Muslims. The ideology of Wahhabism fueling the jihadists’ reign of terror, exported by Saudi Arabia, is of Sunni Muslim origin.

Obama followed a deliberate anti-Christian refugee policy, while condescendingly lecturing Christians to remember the misdeeds he says were committed in the name of Christ many years ago. During a National Prayer Breakfast in 2015, for example, Obama said: “And lest we get on our high horse and think this is unique to some other place, remember that during the Crusades and the Inquisition, people committed terrible deeds in the name of Christ. In our home country, slavery and Jim Crow all too often was justified in the name of Christ.”

Obama’s walk through his version of Christian history somehow balances out in his mind the genocide committed by jihadists against Christians on his own watch.

Obama not only insulted Christians who have been facing persecution and death on a mass scale at the hands of Islamist terrorists. He twisted history in trying to invoke his moral relativism. He conveniently left out that the Crusades were a response to Muslim invasions that had resulted in the capture of two-thirds of the old Christian world and that Christian churches took a leadership role in the fights against slavery and segregation.

Thus, it was no surprise that Obama sharply criticized the suggestion that persecuted Christians be given preference for admission as refugees. He said that “when I hear political leaders suggesting that there would be a religious test for which person who’s fleeing from a war-torn country is admitted… that’s shameful.”  Obama added: “That’s not American, it’s not who we are.”

Obama’s refugee policy was both “shameful” and “not American.” It discriminated against Christians and other non-Muslim minority religious groups who needed refugee status protection the most, while vastly favoring the one group of refugees from Syria and other Middle Eastern countries who needed protection the least– Sunni Muslims. The policy ignored the UN Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, which defined the crime of genocide as including “acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a religious group.” (Emphasis added)  Obama’s refugee policy also ignored the fact that “refugee” is defined in the 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees as including “someone who is unable or unwilling to return to their country of origin owing to a well-founded fear of being persecuted” because of that person’s “religion.”

Christians and other religious minorities seeking refuge from genocide and persecution in Syria and other Muslim-majority countries are clearly the most at risk today if they are forced to remain in those countries. Any just refugee policy for the United States must be based on the principle that those most at risk receive the highest priority in admission decisions. President Trump has tried valiantly to correct the misdeeds of the Obama administration by following that principle, which explains at least in part his administration’s reversal of the number of Christian versus Muslim admissions. When refugee admissions to the United States resume after President Trump’s temporary suspension order expires, President Trump should continue to undo the Obama administration’s inexcusable discrimination against Christian victims of Muslim jihadist persecution.

Agree. America’s First Muslim President , Obama pulled a Taqiya for many years justifying bringing in “refugees” . what Dems and corrupt media would not tell you that 89% of these “refugees” were mostly young jihadi male
muslims !

And christians , yazidis who were the real refugees were
denied !

Dems including Obama have not only denied refugees status to christians from middle east who are real refugee but even have deported christians back to ISIS territory to be slaughtered by ISIS http://tinyurl.com/mtc3xch Not one MSM media covered it !

Interesting, that Communism and Islamism, have a lot in common. Communism promises a utopia on earth, legislated by a small elite group of leaders. Islam, offers utopia on earth, when everyone worships allah. However, that common interest / goal, always results in a major conflict / war (Afghanistan for example), because once the Islamists don’t need the communists anymore for the “take down” of the Free Government, they proceed with the Jihad against the Commies, the very people that helped them take down the system / Government. That is why you see an alignment from the Left, with the muslims.
The original goal seems to be the same. the KGB calls the left, “useless idiots” who, after the take down the Government is complete, are slaughtered with the rest of the people.

Summary: Obama is a muslim. Plain and simple. His alignment with the Communist left, is and was expected. No surprise there.

If they are xians they should be let in.

Besides Reagon was dumb and ignorant about Islam unlike George washington and funded , armed jihadis, talibanis and Al-qaeda in afghanistan to get rid of soviets.

And they repaid back with 9/11 and continuing attacks as a result of foolishly allowing muslims to immigrate to USA !

Neither do i subscribe to conspiracy theories.

why do you think Republicans refuse to Repeal obamacare and let buyers decided which insurance company offers best deal instead of continuing the monopoly that allows them to increase premium as a monopoly ?

bcoz republicans and dems are paid off by insurance lobbyists.

And how does defense industry make their super sized profits ?
only when there is threat of enemy/war. So the bogey of
soviets and now Russia is used to spend more on arms industry and they profit from it.

Soviets have already won by brainwashing Americans to follow Left/Liberal / feminazi ideas which was intended to weaken the country from within ….. obama was just one of their most successful “leaders”.

you cannot kill the idealogy, islam just picks up from where soviets stopped.

I just saw 5 yesterday at the Mexican border in Tijuana. (true story). From Egypt (according to the officer). All of the family members, wearing “HUGE CROSSES” dangling from their necks. Probably tried to get into the USA claiming to be Christians . Either way, they didn’t have proper documentation and were sent back to Mexico

Well, the Border Patrol agents were escorting them back to Mexico. I suppose they could have been Coptic Christians, but I think you’re assessment is more accurate. In Syria, when ISIS fighters were losing they’re position, they would immidiately shave their beards to “blend in” and get food and water from the Syrian army. I have no doubt, that muslims will immidiately claim to be Christian to get into this country –

They now have computer access to family history. When we were making Aliyah to Israel in the 80’s, they more or less just took us at our word. The one important question was, “We’re both your parents Jewish?”

It was kind of funny. The crosses were so large, it was an obvious statement to deflect the strong possibility they were muslim. HUGE CROSSES. The Mother of the Family was wearing a BURKA “like” outfit, WITH 2 LARGE CROSSES, hanging from her neck:

Why should what Obummer did be surprising after all he is a closet muzzie. He even unintentionally let it slip during an interview that he is a muzzie.
A child born to muzzie parents are muzzies by birth up until the age of consent that they decide not to be a muzzie. Obummer has never denounced being a muzzie, so by definition he is still one.
FYI, muzzies who denounce their birth religion are apostates, and by their sharia law, apostates are to be killed so as to set an example and prevent mass exodus.
It is only natural that as a closet muzzie, he would continue to commit atrocities under the pretense of being American. A muzzie is loyal to their religion first, foremost and exclusively. No muzzie is a true American, nor French, nor English, nor any other citizen or nationality. They only pretend to be as dictated by their practice of Taqiyya. This is their most devious weapon, the two faces that they present to the outsider and the ignorant, preying upon their sympathy and good nature to their devious ends.

You would have never known that reading the MSM news. Even though we FREED and now FEED the Negroes it’s just NOT good enough for them, huh?

No, they want to see you DEAD instead. But who will feed these Negroes if the white man is gone? Certainly NO MOSLEM. They smile at the Negroes now, but when white man in gone they will ENSLAVE the Negroes again.

And the Negro got nobody to save him now!

I don’t understand about our former President. His words and actions were predominantly contra Christianity. It is true, hundreds of years ago and throughout history, horrors were committed in the name of Christ and other major deities. One might have hoped that we all evolved from those dark days, but, state of the world shows a spiraling back towards darkness, and unspeakable horror. Our former President had a narrow view of history as per his sentiments. Slavery has always existed. Africans and Arabs were slavers from long also, millions of Europeans were enslaved. Read history. Many nations raped and pillaged and enslaved other people, indeed that s the history of the world. The entire world was enslaved at one time or another, and pity, that slavery still exists, for example sex slaves, domestic slaves, and so forth. Mauritania. The truth of the Crusades was an attempt to stem the invasion and expansion undertaken by the Muslims. Who was Turkey once? Who was Persia once? Our former President’s view is slanted and biased. Why did he never speak to Pres. Erdogan concerning the persecution of minority religions, and stamping it of Democracy in Turkey? Why did he not speak to Pakistan about human rights abuses?
His intent was clear, each month 10,000 refugees came in and only three or two were Christian. He says a religious test is un American. I believe that’s wrong, and anyway Americans and the West have been unduly tolerant due to indoctrinatin by the left, that has and will cost the West in money, peace of mind, pursuit of happiness, and in lives. He and his staff, I don’t think they were fair to Christians. His attorney general, her biting words. At the end of the day, we will meet our Maker. We will need to explain.
