Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Trump says Syrian Christian refugees will be given priority

Jan 27, 2017 3:53 pm By Robert Spencer

“Pew Research Center said last October 38,901 Muslim refugees entered the United States in fiscal year 2016 from all countries – almost the same number of Christian refugees, 37,521.”

Reuters is being deliberately misleading. From Syria in 2016, the Obama administration admitted 12,587 refugees: 12,486 Muslims, 68 Christians, and 24 Yazidis. Trump is ending this obvious social engineering and saying that Syrian Christians, who have borne the brunt of persecution from jihad groups there, will be given priority.

This also shows the falsity of establishment propaganda media claims that Trump’s immigration ban would keep out non-Muslim victims of persecution by jihadis.

“Trump says Syrian Christian refugees will be given priority,” Reuters, January 27, 2017:

WASHINGTON, Jan 27 (Reuters) – President Donald Trump said on Friday that Syrian Christians will be given priority when it comes to applying for refugee status in the United States.

“If you were a Muslim you could come in, but if you were a Christian, it was almost impossible and the reason that was so unfair, everybody was persecuted in all fairness, but they were chopping off the heads of everybody but more so the Christians,” Trump said in an excerpt of an interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network.

        they are still not being honest about the statistics during Obama .

          Think Obama brought in .5% Christians the rest muslims. What really ticked me off is when last fall Australia had REJECTED a group of muslims Obama traded them Christians for them. If anyone had any DOUBTS about him that should pretty much clear that misunderstanding up!

          I don’t want a temporary ban I want our laws ENFORCED. Through out history people have WARNED of the danger of Islam. In 1952 they passed a law to KEEP IT OUT because of this. Yes that law like all laws get modified over the years but the original intent of the law remains INTACT. Islam is NOT compatible with out Constitution and therefore they are BANNED from entering our country!

          Obama’s muslim invasion must be completely STOPPED and REVERSED! They must go to muslim countries and live among muslims! Yes I’m aware there are like 3 factions and they don’t get along….but that is their problem!

        I hope you agree it’s because Obama is a muslim. He says he is a christian so he could get elected and maintain this charade to do maximum damage to our country and speed up the process of muslims taking control of the US.

      At last somebody has got their immigration policy correct. Christians are among the most persecuted groups in these troubled countries and should be given priority.

      It’s depressing that other countries don’t follow this example. Myself, being in Australia would give my total support to any political party that introduced a christian only immigration policy for the above reason plus the fact that they would assimilate into our societies much easier..

        And your fellow Aussie, here, agrees with you *totally*.

        Copts.. yes! Assyrian Christians from Iraq and Syria – YES! If it were up to me I’d commission a massive cruise ship, re-name it “The Sir Stanley George Savige”, then sail it to a Lebanese port (accompanied by warships as escort), having first asked Barnabas Fund to identify for me as many bona fide Assyrian Christian refugees – whether from Iraq or Syria – as could be fitted onboard at maximum capacity. Whole convents full of monks and nuns. Whole churches full of people. I’d pack them on board like the Jews of Israel did for the threatened-with-genocide Jews of Yemen and Mesopotamia, back in the day – 1950s-1960s – and then I’d set sail for the Great South Land. Operation Magic Carpet. Operation Exodus.

        And why call the ship the ‘Sir Stanley George Savige’? Look him up…

    I still do not know how you vet them, but he has the right idea. Christians and Jews in the Middle East are the most persecuted but the least welcomed by the Obama Administration. Then again, Obama’s plan was to flood America with Muslims, especially violent ones, to help destabilize the Republic, just like Merkel is doing to Germany.

      Many syrian Christian do speak aramaic and I have no doubt that they will even be able to distinguish between an arabic speaking christian or muslim. It’s a conservative society, which means a vast majority would not be just Christians in name but know and understand the practices.

      • dumbledoresarmy says

        Jan 27, 2017 at 4:42 pm

        Also, there are groups like Barnabas Fund who have worked with these persecuted and pressured Christian communities for *decades* and are thoroughly familiar with who is who and from where. They would be able to identify bona fide candidates and assist with processing. (And they know all about Islam at its nastiest, so they would be aware of the possibility of Muslims trying to sneak in under false pretences).

I think we should begin to think in terms of the following and ditch all these arguments about “God” and think in terms of The Creator of Heaven and Earth and all things in it. This will put an end to the constant bickering among ALL believers about their assorted “faiths”!!!!! Just STOP ALL THIS IN HOUSE FIGHTING and love one another as He loves us!

    • Custos Custodum says

      Jan 28, 2017 at 3:56 pm

      Syria’s population is about 10% Christian according to the CIA World Factbook published during the Obama administration (definitely no pro-Christian bias).

      Christians were much more likely to be persecuted by various Muslim groups and for this reason area likely to be far over-represented among refugees. One should assume that 20% – 30% of real refugees from Syria are Christians and other religious minorities (Druze and Yazidi).

      The Obama-era admission figures show massive and systematic discrimination AGAINST Christians, probably by reliance on Muslim DHS staff, interpreters, refugee camp administrators, etc. as well as unspoken orders from the Chief Muslim himself.

      Time to drain the swamp, of course intelligently and with ongoing vigilance against all manner of abuse.

      I know I have said this before and it really is worth saying again:

      A successful businessman – like President Donald Trump – must always be ready to step outside his or her comfort zone in order to succeed in the field, to reach to the next step successfully.

      Politicians are basically on “stuck” mode during their entire career.

      President Trump has done more in his first week in office than Obama did in all his 8 years. Yes, there are Americans like myself and many others who want out of that comfort zone and start achieving true greatness – the greatness our Founding Fathers meant the United States of America to have.

    Yeah, but vetting must be a problem. Muslim refugees will do anything to get in – we know this.
    A short time ago in the UK [but probably many countries], refugees in their hundreds were converting to Christianity in order to claim asylum. The church would give them a sort of baptismal certificate as proof [l imagine it would be easy enough to get a forged copy; or simply from a liberal priest]. lt’s all a pretense of course.
    Trump will need to be very careful, l think..

      Muslims won´t have any problem with this. Muslims are sanctioned in the Koran to pretend to be Christians or others to advance Islam or protect their lives.

      Every Muslim from Pakistan to Morocco will be claiming to be a Syrian Christian to get a free ticket to the land of the free—–Free housing, FREE health care, and bags of FREE money.

      Mad Mohammed of Mecca may have been nuttier than a fruit cake but he had all bases covered.

        Mate: the Barnabas Fund are a totally legit Christian organisation that knows *all about* mohammedan methods.

        And they *also* have been working in Syria and Iraq for *decades* with the indigenous Christians: they would know people’s home villages and churches, their *family trees*, their parish priests and other clergy. All Trump has to do is get them – and other people such as Syrian nun Sister Hatune – on board, and the Syrian Christian *clergy* who have baptised and married everyone – and it won’t be that hard to weed out any fakers.

        • dumbledoresarmy says

          Jan 27, 2017 at 4:47 pm

          And for a further layer of protection, one must make it absolutely plain that any Mohammedan who is caught pretending to be what they ain’t, will be kicked right out, the moment the imposture is detected.

          And make it take longer to gain citizenship.

          The *genuine* people will know exactly why you have these provisos, and will willingly accept the rules.

Just don’t take any selected by that bunch of moslims known as the u.n..They were sending the majority moslims to all of the different countries. That is why so few Christians were among the many being sent.

      Bacon butties and communion wine for starters to weed out the Muslims trying to sneak in, then quiz them on bible stuff they’ll soon show themselves up as not really Christians.
      I think that finally the tide may be turning, I hope the Trump administration declares the Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR ISNA ICNA etc terrorist organisations, and seizes their assets and funding streams.
      I hope that he defunds the UN and removes them from US soil.
      I would like to see him order investigation into George Soros and all his treacherous NGO groups like Open Society Foundation and all these other Common Purpose style political charities working to undermine family values and promote politically correct anti family dogma designed to break up the family unit.

          Exactly! That is my idea, too. That is one thing Muslims cannot do since their Quran forbids them reciting any prayers other than those prescribed by Islam. Thus they could not even use taqiyya in this case.

          Abad, the quran doesn’t forbid anything if taqqiya is deemed necessary :(.

    • Custos Custodum says

      Jan 28, 2017 at 4:02 pm

      Muslims are circumcised.

      DNA can readily identify kin relationships – cousins, uncles, etc. It cannot be easy to get an entire clan, perhaps dispersed to different countries, to tell a consistent, detailed story.

      Also, a knowledgeable interviewer could easily spot whether an alleged Christian knows anything about his home town, his church, prayers, ritual customs, etc. E.g. what happens at a Christian wedding/funeral/baptism in your community? What is your aunt’s name? Her husband’s name? Where are they from?

      The CIA and NSA have comprehensive personal registration records from all Middle Eastern countries and it would not be difficult to get official records from those countries for open use.

    This is the one population that will be easy to vet. The various Christian communities are very close knit groups, and any planted Jihadist would stand out. We have very strong communities of each of the Orthodox Churches of this region that will help with their settlement here. I always remember what a Chaplain we had at the VA hospital I worked at told be. He grew up in what is now Syria before WW2 his parents where Christian missionaries. He told me the Muslims were the most despicable people in the world you could not trust them at all. But he told me the Christians where wonderful people. He said they made Christmas so special for him in those days.

      You wrote – “The various Christian communities are very close knit groups, and any planted Jihadist would stand out. We have very strong communities of each of the Orthodox Churches of this region that will help with their settlement here.”

      Yes. This is something that a lot of people posting above, saying that “Oh well the muslims will just pretend to be Syrian Christians in order to get in”, just don’t ‘get’. That these Christian communities, village by village or neighbourhood by neighbourhood, are not that large, and are very interknit. Syrian Christians themselves know exactly who is who and from where. And also that there is already an emigre community of these various ‘middle eastern’ or levantine churches in the USA – as also in Canada, and Australia, and even parts of Europe – who *also* have pretty good info on the situation with their *relatives* in the home country.

      • overman says

        Jan 27, 2017 at 5:56 pm

        Yes, dumbledoresarmy, this will work with christians who are taken direct from Syria, or wherever christians are known to be christians within genuine communities – it should work for America, that is. Europe and UK are a lost cause, however. Any mozlim [esp. illegals, can waltz in and head for any church sympathetic to refugees, and just ask for conversion. This is a very different story.
        But, Trump and his ppl probably know about all this.
        At least the US doesn’t have the Eurostar where muslims can travel through europe without any checks..

      HuffPoo recently insulted Christians saying they should accept Muhammad as the last prophet. Their motivation was that Jesus said he was going to send the spirit of truth and HuffPoo thinks Muhammad is this spirit, a.k.a. the Holy spirit. Real blasphemy against the Holy spirit which is not forgiven neither in this life of the next. Just my understanding. I don’t trust a word from HuffPoo.

    “…they were chopping off the heads of everybody but more so the Christians.”

    I think here Trump was referring to ISIS, but ISIS was far from the only danger Christians face. They face persecution from every Muslim, ISIS or not. And especially, as we have heard, on the boats they are likely to be tossed overboard to give the Muslims more room to stretch their legs, and likely to be killed in the immigration camps for Muslim jihad practise.

      Exactly! Christians, Jews, gays any Muslim who believes in there barbaric ways, supports “Sharia Law” would kill all these people! This includes so many of these Libtards throughout our Government too. Clean the gutter from top down. Arrest must be made. Praying and I do believe We will see a arrest of “OBAMA” UNDER TRUMP in the near future. He Created this, Muslim traitor. Need to close down Muslim Brotherhood, all there groups and arrest of the traitors with terrorist ties, supporting these terrorist! The group like Carr have been a front to push there Agenda. This is where “PC” Needs to End! If I an correct, I think Trump took care of that also. Get Illegals out of the US! Take out ISIS. Because it is hard to vett them and we have No idea Who is here, We need a very strict vetting program Registration system in place to figure out who is on US Soil. Trump took on one Hell of a Job, not only here but problems throughout the World, where we were on the verge of NWO, never to return. This is not the end of Problems but the beginning. Patriots of America, stay Strong we have Much work Ahead. We need Trump and he needs Us. Democrats are evil, greedy, Corupt Crimminals and do not give up easy or accept defeat like we know! So glad Trump is also doing a Full investigation on The Election Fraud. Already is uncovering the Fraud by DNC For the last Century and how this helps them Steal the Election. Of course None of them want this including the Mainstream Media! Saying Trumps obsessed and there was NO FRAUD. This is also very important to Stop this, and have a voter ID System, paper ballots etc, as I am sure they are working already on the 2020 Election. Soros needs Arrested, prison or hand over to Russia “with Love”. Hrc, Bill, Obama, Lynch, Kerry, McCann down the ladder! God Bless America! We did it Friends and it sure feels good. Thank you Mr President Trump. We love you.

These Syrian Christians along with Yazidis and other non-Muslim minorities are the real persecuted people of ME who should have been rescued by the world long time back. Instead we were/are allowing Muslim migrants to come here(in fact they are given preference over others) – Muslim refugees are nothing but invaders, a Trojan horse.

    How do they prove someone is a Christian? They may not have their certificates and Muslims can easily obtain fake ones. They are allowed to lie in order to advance the cause of islam. may be they have to make them do the cross sign and recite a prayer or the creed. There are Arab Christians. They are mostly Orthodox. They may ask about the denomination when vetting.

    • dumbledoresarmy says

      Jan 27, 2017 at 4:59 pm

      As a rough rule of thumb, anyone who identifies as a Christian *and* can speak fluent Syriac-Aramaic is far more likely to be a Christian than a Muslim; because *only* the Christians speak Syriac and use it in their liturgy.

      Those who identify as *nuns* and as monks or priests would be easy enough to vet! (Not easy to fake being a Catholic nun, not if you are being questioned by, say, a Syrian Christian nun from the emigre community in the USA, or wherever).

      and I have mentioned above that an organisation called Barnabas Fund has been working with persecuted Christians – in Iraq and Syria, but also in many other parts of the dar al Islam – for *decades*. Since long before this war erupted. So they know who is who; they know the leadership, the organisations, the *families*, the communities, and have lots of local contacts from *within* the Christian community, back when there was *no* incentive for Muslims to infiltrate. Barnabas could be invited to identify the candidates for resettlement; and I guarantee that any Assyrian Christians they put forward, from Iraq or Syria or from the churches in Lebanon and Jordan where Syrian Christian refugees (who usually don’t dare go anywhere *near* a UN ‘refugee’ camp, because those places are hogged and dominated by the Muslims) are being looked after by their struggling coreligionists, would be the genuine article.

      People must hold him to his word.

      Put him on notice. Say, as regards the various counter-jihad measures he is putting into place at the moment – “Yes, this is good; BUT – you MUST do this. This must *happen*.”

      Let him know you support these counter-jihad measures – let him know you support preferential entry for *the* most persecuted, namely the Christians (and the Yazidis), who *also* pose no homeland-security threat, and will integrate readil – but let him know you expect to see it *happening*.

      Also: push for the ban on entry (waived ONLY for bona fide members of the persecuted and oppressed non-Muslim minority communities) to extend to *all* Muslim-majority OIC states, whether Shiite or Sunni. Saudi citizens shouldn’t be let in at all; the place is 100 percent mohammedan. Qatari, Bahraini, Kuwaiti, Emirates, Egyptians (except for bona fide Coptic Christians)… NO, NO, AND AGAIN, NO.

      Keep on making noise. Express support, express approval… and push for the ban on Muslim entry to be permanent. Got Muslims? got Jihad. Fewer Muslims inside the gates = less Jihad terror raids, less allahu-akbaring shootngs-up of Christmas parties and nightclubs and fewer explosions.

    Enforcing border security, adding 5000 border patrol agents, banning Muslims who travel from terrorist hot spots to the US and protecting middle eastern Christians are all fantastic actions to widdle down the jihadist problem a little at a time. Its a negotiating point from which Trump and the DOD will begin to deal.

    This is the start of process that will eventually allow our security forces to apply their energy to the hard core mujahadeen fighters of Europe and the middle east. A process we all welcome which will funnel any overtly obvious jihadists in the right direction. Either straight into the teeth of growing and continuous defensive measures or back to their hell holes where they came from. I’m so glad and relieved that Trump is rebuilding the administration with people like General Flynn and Dr. Gorka who understand the “sneaky rats”.

    • Don McKellar says

      Jan 27, 2017 at 6:48 pm

      This is why you demand one simple thing in the personal interviews: the refugee must state, word for word: I AM NOT A MUSLIM. That’s it. To a jihadi, verbally denouncing Islam is something they will never ever do. Obama never, ever said that. He only deceived and said “I’m a Chrisitian.” A huge difference in the moslem mind. It’s very simple.

      • Wellington says

        Jan 27, 2017 at 7:38 pm

        Seconded, Don McKellar. To the extent I know Islam, and I think I know this nefarious belief system fairly well, while a Muslim can engage in a myriad of deceptions they cannot SPECIFCALLY assert they are not a Muslim.

        As you also noted, Obama never did this. He NEVER said, “I am not a Muslim.” I would appreciate clarification here from Robert Spencer himself, to wit, can a Muslim, pursuant to Islamic law and theology, taqiyya and all that Muslim rot included, very plainly state they are not a Muslim in order to advance Islam by way of deceiving and confusing the kuffaar?

        I am fully aware that Mohammedans can engage in a myriad of deceptions, but it is my understanding that they cannot unambiguously state, “I am not a Muslim.” If you could respond here, Mr. Spencer, on this specific point of Islamic theology and law, it would be most appreciated. I have no doubt Don McKellar, myself, and so many other regular commenters here at JW would welcome a definitive response by you.

        • Jack Diamond says

          Jan 29, 2017 at 1:48 pm

          Alas, this is quite mistaken.

          The doctrine of necessity allows the forbidden to become permitted and that even extends to denying Muhammad and Islam in order to protect Muslims and Islam from harm or to remove the obstacles to the advance of Islam. Qur’an 6:119 “He has explained to you what is forbidden to you, EXCEPT under compulsion of necessity.”

          A hadith says “Hakaj ibn ‘Aalat told: ‘O Prophet of Allah: I have in Mecca some excess wealth and some relatives, and I would like to have them back; am I excused if I bad-mouth you (to fool non-Muslims)? The Prophet excused him and said ‘Say whatever you have to say.'”

          Here is precedence for cursing Muhammad, in this case for the greater purpose of gaining wealth for Islam. Sirah al-Halabiyyah v3 p.61

          Surah 16:106 “Anyone who after accepting faith in Allah, utters unbelief, except under compulsion, his heart remaining firm in Faith…” Here is permission for denying Islam under compulsion as long as in your heart you remain faithful. What you utter with your tongue and what you believe in your heart are judged differently in Islam (which is why forcing a kaffir to confess Islam with his tongue is NOT considered “compulsion in religion” since his heart is not being compelled to actually believe).

          The rest of 16:106: “The nonbelievers arrested `Ammar Ibn Yasir and tortured him until he uttered foul words about the Prophet (Muhammad), and praised their gods and idols; and when they released him, he went straight to the Prophet. The Prophet said: “Is there something on your mind?” `Ammar Ibn Yasir said: “Bad news! They would not release me until I defamed you and praised their gods!” The Prophet said: “How do you find your heart to be?” `Ammar answered: “Comfortable with faith.” So the Prophet said: “Then if they come back for you, then do the same thing all over again.” Allah at that moment revealed the verse: “….except under compulsion, his heart remaining firm in faith…”

          Ibn Kathir says about this “This refers to a group of people who were oppressed in Mecca and whose position with their own people was weak, so they went along with them when they were tried by them… Allah tells them that after this, meaning after their giving in (to the non-Muslims by denying their faith) when put to the test, He will forgive them and show mercy to them when they are resurrected. ”

          “Went along with them” means when called on by non-Muslims to blaspheme Allah and Muhammad, they “went along with them” and were forgiven.

          Deception is as an important component of jihad as violence. Islam’s doctrines of deception are breathtaking in scope and bottomless in depth.

To a jihadi, verbally denouncing Islam is something they will never ever do. Obama never, ever said that. He only deceived and said “I’m a Chrisitian.” A huge difference in the moslem mind.

        Jan 27, 2017 at 10:40 pm

        Of course jihadis will say it – they will do anything to enter and destroy. Taqqiya. But more thorough tracking of documents, witnesses from Christian communities and detailed biblical knowledge may help vetting.

        • Don McKellar says

          Jan 27, 2017 at 10:57 pm

          NEVER will they say it. The moment they say it out loud, they believe they are damned. You will never find in all of Islamic history a time when any moslem said those simple words to deceive. They can never outright verbally announce that you are not a moslem, for then you are no longer a muslim. They cannot claim taqqiya or anything else. Instead they always answer: I am a Christian or a Jew or whatever is convenient to deceive. Lying is permissible under Islam. Denouncing Islam and saying plainly that you are not a moslem is never permissible. Ever.

    Saudi Arabia has a 6 year cap on foreign residencies. Anyone over staying their visa is subject to mandatory prison time followed by swift deportation. They haven’t taken in any refugees let alone any Christians and here we are fighting brown shirts all the way trying to bring our nation back to sanity.
    Trump really shouldn’t have to issue executive orders to protect us I am still vastly dissappointed in our congress that should have been ready to do this as soon as we knew it was happening.

    I lived in the Middle East for many years and I assure you it will not be a problem in vetting Christians because they all pretty much know each other. It isn’t like there are large groups of them especially now since they have been so decimated. The vetting process would include being able to positively identify who these people are and it will not be an issue to do so. Christian leaders from the Middle East can verify who their people are.
