“1 Christian: 236 of 237 Syrian Refugees Admitted Since Paris Attacks Are Muslims,” by Patrick Goodenough, CNS News, December 7, 2015:

(CNSNews.com) – Since the Paris terror attacks on November 13, the State Department has admitted 237 Syrian refugees into the United States – 236 Sunni Muslims and one Christian (0.4 percent), according to data from the State Department Refugee Processing Center.

The Christian, a Greek Orthodox individual, is the sole non-Sunni Muslim admitted to the U.S. since the attack, which fueled concerns that the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS/ISIL) may move terrorists into Western nations under the cover of refugee resettlement programs.

According to the CIA World Factbook, Christians accounted for an estimated 10 percent of the Syrian population and Sunni Muslims for an estimated 74 percent when the conflict began in early 2011.

Of the 237 Syrian refugees permitted to resettle in the U.S. since November 13, 123 are male, 114 are female. Of the 237, 65 (27.4 percent) are men between the ages of 14 and 50, while 55 (23.2 percent) are women aged 14-50.

Another 107 (45.1 percent) are children aged under 14, of whom 54 are males and 53 females.

President Obama plans to resettle 10,000 Syrian refugees in the U.S. during fiscal year 2016. Since FY2016 began on October 1, a total of 528 Syrian refugees have been admitted into the U.S. They comprise 522 (98.8 percent) Sunni Muslims and six Christians – three Catholic, one Orthodox, one Greek Orthodox and one simply described as “Christian.”

According to Refugee Processing Center data, 137 of the 528 (25.9 percent) admitted since Oct. 1 are men aged between 14 and 50; 117 (22.1 percent) are women aged 14-50; 250 (47.3 percent) are children, of whom 132 are boys and 118 are girls; and 24 (4.5 percent) are older than 50, of whom 12 are men and 12 women.

Since the Syrian civil war began in mid-March 2011, a total of 2,401 Syrian refugees have been admitted into the U.S.  Of those, 2,241 (93.3 percent) were Sunni Muslims, an additional 60 were described simply as “Moslem,” and 13 were Shia.

Only 54 (2.2 percent) were Christian (including five Orthodox, one Greek Orthodox and four Catholics). The remaining religious breakdown was eight Jehovah’s Witness, six Zoroastrians, three atheists, two Baha’i, one Yazidi, seven “no religion” and six “other religion.”

Of the total 2,410 Syrian refugees admitted since March 2011, 659 (27.3 percent) are men aged between 14 and 50…..

    How many of the number of sunnis are time bombs?
    The beast was foretold to win for awhile and it is doing just that. But the war is not over yet and when it is, the beast will be dead.

    For each actual refugee, the US are importing 236 of their persecuters.

    Good going, sheik Hussein. Good going.

    Assume they work in pairs, that’s 118 future terror attacks in USA. If each attack kills about 10 people, that’s more than 1100 dead Americans.

      I wonder if an injured person or surviving family member of a future terror attack perpetrated by any of these refugees would have legal standing to file civil charges and sue Obama for civil liability and / or criminal facilitation.

      If you lend your gun to a friend and he commits a crime with it you could be charged with criminal facilitation. You might likely lose a civil suit for liability, like OJ. Should this not also apply to the president as a person, not as government official, or anyone else involved.

    Many of these refugees will return to Syria once the troubles are over. I would guess about half of them will return. Therefore, this refugee program is a waste of money. Support the people in the refugee camps, make them more comfortable and then help them to return to their towns and villages to rebuild. They will rebuild everything within two years of peace.

    What a Muslim “refugee” may or may not think is difficult to ascertain.

    But, why oh why, isn’t the persecution of “filthy unbelievers” at the hands of Muslims the primary consideration in the selection process?

    Why, really, are Sunni Muslims running from other Sunni Muslims?

    And why aren’t our elected officials and so-called journalists asking our Islamophilic president about that?

    47.3 percent are children ???
    That seems artificially high but let’s remember who is vetting them and lack of proper documentation.

    Let’s see. If a kill crazy 49 year old jihadi Muslima with 5 children calculates her age in dog years that would make 7 years old which is 2 years short of the Islamic age to consummate marriage. Let’s hope the authorities pick up on that.

      They didn’t say if that 47.3% was physically or mentally children.

    Are there figures available for how many people have applied for refuge but were refused?

    • Cecilia Ellis says

      Dec 8, 2015 at 6:32 pm

      Minta, while I don’t know how many Muslim refugees — if any — have been denied entry to the United States, but I do know that all 27 Christian refugee seekers held in a San Diego detention center were denied refugee status and sent back.

      http://www.catholicworldreport.com/Item/4413/in_california_27_iraqi_christian_refugees_refused_asylum.aspx

      This is an appalling indictment of the current administration, especially since we know that Christians are the primary target for ISIS atrocities and that Christian genocide in Iraq has almost erased them from the Middle East.

    Of course. Christians, and Azedi’s and all non-Muslims from Syria etc are on the whole,the only true refugees and pose zero problems or threats to the American people. They are generally more intelligent , civilised and more highly qualified and less likely to need welfare for long.
    They are gracious and grateful.Only an embarrassment for authoritites with their dreadful stories of suffering under Muslim supremacist persecution.

    If you are planning the take-over of America by Muslims to soon install sharia, then make sure only invading strong fit male muslims (peppered with a few women and crying children for the journalists to photograph and lie they are numerous ) called peaceful and destitute can get in ?

    Those involved in developing this Muslim system who labeled it a religion of God…they had a chance to observe The Popular Professing Christian Movement of their time which was underway for hundreds of years by the time the Muslim Movement began…This Professing Christian Religion Was Run By Rome…the Romans usurped It from True Christianity which was completely driven into hiding by the third century…Rome was an influence upon these fledgling Muslims…the Muslim movement did observe Religion could be used as a Cohesive Control of the Masses…observing the Romans Doing just That successfully…the Muslim system…was conceived to suit the purpose of those who helped put it together over time…and has shown it is effective for what it was purposed…having this Islam taught from birth can be a very powerful form of brainwashing…to be forced to practice it insures it will not wear off…making it obligatory in public for a show of reciting mindless gibberish is a strong social infliction…to not allow a private search for God is monstrous at best.

    A Social System Based On This can produce citizens that outwardly seem complacent but inwardly have damaged minds…with nothing good to base anything on…what good can come of it.

    The Western governments don’t want Christian refugees as they bring with them stories of persecution at the hand of not just ISIS and “moderate” rebel groups, but their muslim neighbours, people they have been friendly with for years. These story of treachery and abuse by muslims of all shades, rather ruins the narrative of peaceful muslims fleeing tyrany. But bring some of these Christians in front of the TV camera and the illusion could quickly be lost. The political elites do not want this as it could stir up a storm of protest against the muslim refugee programme.

    What the hell is wrong with the O’barmy administration? There are tens of thousands of non-Muslim refugees – in 2014 nearly 30,000 Christians arrived in Jordan from Mosul alone after ISIS took over. These like so many others literally have nothing to go back to or if they tried would face endless persecution – or death! The perfect criteria for a refugee being granted asylum in the US or anywhere in the West – you’d think. In Australia we are trying to hold our government to account to ensure that, as they have said, will take 12,000 refugees from PERSECUTED MINORITIES (i.e. Christians, Yazidis etc,) – when two out of the first three families accepted were Muslim! What the hell is wrong with people? Its so bleedin’ obvious what needs to be done. There would be well over 100,000 Christians from Iraq and Syria who either have or will have no home there and desperately need to be resettled in the West. So how many out of the nearly 1 million refugees taken into the West do you think are Christian? The response of Western governments and O’bama in particular is sickening.

    President Obama is illegally, Unconstitutionally supporting his Muslim brothers and turning a blind eye to Islam by violating The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952.

    You can find it here at; 1952 Immigration and Nationality Act.. H.R.13342; Pub.L. 414;182 Stat.66. http://library.uwb.edu/static/USimmigration/1952_immigration_and_nationality_act.html …

    In Section 212 Chapter 2, Prohibits entry into America any IMMIGRANTS belonging to an organization seeking the unlawful overthrow of the federal government of the United States by force, violence and other unconstitutional means.

    ONE CHRISTIAN OUT OF 237 SYRIAN REFUGEES? REALLY?

    Isn’t this the State Department of arguably most mendacious president in U.S. history? The liar who said to the American people that he was “winning the War on Terror” when he knew he wasn’t? Who said that al Qaida was being “decimated” when it was doubling in size? Who said that a “video” caused Benghazi when he knew it was weeks in the planning? Who said that ISIS was “JV” and being “degraded and contained” when he knew it was a highly professional killing machine expanding its reach and power? Who said that Iran’s supreme leader issued “an anti-nuke fatwa” that no one can find? Who says that America is stronger than ever and is not in decline, when he’s been deliberately weakening and diminishing us thinking it was good for the world?

    Pardon my skepticism. But who is this one, sole Syrian Christian? What is his name? Where does he come from? If Obama is deporting 27 Iraqi Christians to certain persecution and possible death why should he give a damn about one Syrian Christian? If this man is real let Obama prove it by inviting
    him to the White House for the world to see.
