"The United States has accepted 10,801 Syrian refugees, of whom 56 are Christian. Not 56 percent; 56 total, out of 10,801. That is to say, one-half of 1 percent.
The BBC says that 10 percent of all Syrians are Christian, which would mean 2.2 million Christians. It is quite obvious, and President Barack Obama and Secretary John Kerry have acknowledged it, that Middle Eastern Christians are an especially persecuted group."
It's interesting that Syrian Christians are more likely to be killed, and less likely to be terrorists, yet are heavily discriminated against in terms of refugee intake. Here in Canada, we have the same problem.
Why is the US not taking Syrian Christians? Why are they favouring Muslims?
