Meanwhile, the U.S. is importing whole communities of Muslims from Somalia and elsewhere, and dropping them down in American communities without any attempt to discern if any of the immigrants thus brought in have jihadist tendencies, and without equipping the host communities to deal with what they might encounter from the newcomers. To take any such precautions would be “racist” and “Islamophobic.”
“Christian Teen Whose Dad, Brother Slain by Boko Haram Was Denied U.S. Visa,” CNS News, May 14, 2014 (thanks to Jerk Chicken):
(CNSNews.com) – A 15-year-old girl who witnessed the murder of her father and teenage brother at the hands of Boko Haram terrorists says she decided to tell her story after the group kidnapped almost 300 schoolgirls last month in the same village in northern Nigeria where she grew up.
Deborah Peters, speaking Tuesday at the Hudson Institute in Washington, D.C., recalled how in 2011 members of Boko Haram came to her home in Chibok, where she lived with her brother and father, who was a pastor of a local church.
“Three men knocked on our door, and then my brother opened the door for them,” Peters said. “And they asked him, ‘Where is your dad?’ And he told them, ‘My dad is in the bathroom taking a shower.’
The men said her father was “wasting their time.”
“So when they take [sic] him out of the bathroom, they told him that he should deny his faith,” Peters said. “He told them that he can’t deny his faith, so they told him that they were going to kill him if he didn’t deny his faith.
“But he told them that he should rather die than to go to hellfire,” Peters said. “So my dad refused to deny his faith, and then they shoot [sic] him three times in the chest.”
The Islamic terrorists also shot her brother three times, then tied up Deborah and left her lying between the two corpses.
“I was in shock,” Peters said.
Emmanuel Ogebe, the human rights attorney who helped Peters come to the United States, said that visa requests filed on Peters’ behalf were denied “multiple times,” with the State Department citing no family ties in the U.S. as the reason.
But Nina Shea, director of the Center for Religious Freedom at the Hudson Institute, said the State Department only designated Boko Haram as a terrorist organization in November of last year and that the Obama administration claimed poverty, not religion, drove the group’s ideology.
“One of the problems is that the State Department has been reluctant to even talk about this in terms of religious persecution,” Shea said. “And, in fact, I’m thinking back to the Assistant Secretary for Africa and his speech in 2012, where he said that this was a problem of poor delivery of government services—that’s what was motivating Boko Haram—and that it was poverty.
“And then the response of the U.S. was all economic at that time,” Shea said, adding that the administration doesn’t recognize what’s happening in Nigeria “as the human rights crisis that it is. Maybe this incident and the Chibok girls will change that,” Shea said.
As the event concluded, Peters held up a sign and smiled broadly for the first time. It read “ #Bring Back My Sisters.”…

The Istanbul Process at work, Madam Hillary?
Reality Check says
Obama and Obama’s administration are the curse of America and the entire world. In less than eight years, they have managed to pervert everything that America stood for. America is no longer the guardian of human rights worldwide – it is the guardian of one religion’s reputation and everything immoral that it stands for.

Why, yes, Hillary, it is the Istanbul Process, and your treason, at work.
Jaladhi says
It is sad that our State Dept. lies just like Muslims and in concert with Muslims. They protect Islam and Muslims and refuse to call Muslim terrorists a terrorist, and deny Islamic ideology is the reason for Islamic terrorism. Is this country USA or ISA(ISlamic States of America)??
Margaritha says
America denies refuge for persecuted Christians world wide, while President Obama looks the other way, and never opens his mouth when ever this topic is raised. Obama was so much concerned when Muslims in Mayenmar (Burma) were driven out by Buddhists. It is shame America to have such a President.

DHS Emails Reveal U.S. May Have Terrorist “Hands Off” List

I just lost my whole comment because I misspelled my email. Nice. And I thought my info was “saved”. Oh well.
Kepha says
Don’t get me wrong, but I’m utterly sympathetic to young Deborah Peters. But my guess that what was in the back of the mind of whoever denied any non-immigrant visa for her was that Nigeria is, alas, a country that has a considerable population of overstayers and illegals already in the USA.
But the point about importing large numbers of Muslim “refugees” (such as Joker Tsarnaev and his late unlamented brother) is also well-taken.
I would also urge JW to keep pressing this issue of why Shrillary Shrooo’s State Department and the rest of the O administration were so reluctant to label Boko Haram as a terrorist organization. For my part, I hazard the guess that too many of its big guns are still living in the Silly ‘Sixties and Sillier ‘Seventies with their romanticisms about “Third World” revolutionaries. They may even take assaults on African Christians as a kind of anti-colonial “revolutionary catharsis”.

“I would also urge JW to keep pressing this issue of why Shrillary Shrooo’s State Department and the rest of the O administration were so reluctant to label Boko Haram as a terrorist organization.”
Just like al Qaeda, Boko Haram is an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood, the Masters in the White House!!!

Deborah’s story is one of many who have suffered at the hands of those that carry evil desire in their hearts & minds.
She survived to tell the world the truth.
The question of immigration of many groups means me must ask ourselves why would a muslim want to move to America when the country they wish to leave provides everything islam has to offer.
I wish Deborah all the best in her future life.

No one can risk a species as savage as humans be let loose in the universe so why not stifle human evolution with a microbe, after all they are what make us us.

“…poor delivery of government services—that’s what was motivating Boko Haram—and that it was poverty.” Though Books Bad is now designated a terrorist organization, Kerry trotted this out even so. It’s astounding.
I never forgot “Jihad causes poverty” from Robert years ago because this was then and is now clearly the predictable and devastating results of jihad, not the motivating factor.
