(CNSNews.com)  The Obama administration has resettled 13,210 Syrian refugees into the United States since the beginning of 2016  an increase of 675 percent over the same 10-month period in 2015.

Of those, 13,100 (99.1 percent) are Muslims  12,966 Sunnis, 24 Shia, and 110 other Muslims  and 77 (0.5 percent) are Christians. Another 24 (0.18 percent) are Yazidis.

During the Jan.-Oct. period in 2015, 1,705 Syrian refugees were admitted, of whom 1,664 (97.5 percent) were Muslims and 29 (1.7 percent) were Christians.

Meanwhile the surge of Syrian refugee admissions initiated by the administration last February has continued into the new fiscal year, now one month-old: A total of 1,297 were resettled during October  a 593 percent increase over the 187 admitted in October 2015.

Octobers arrivals were once again dominated by Sunni Muslims, accounting for 1,263 (97.3 percent) of the total. Another seven were Shia Muslims and 12 were other Muslims. The rest of the October intake comprised 15 (1.1 percent) Christians  eight Orthodox, four Catholics and three refugees self-described simply as Christians.

That comes after last fiscal year saw a total of 12,587 Syrian refugees admitted, of whom 12,363 (98.2 percent) were Sunnis, and 68 (0.5 percent) were Christians, according to State Department Refugee Processing Center data.

The rest of the Syrian refugees admitted during FY2016 were 103 other Muslims, 20 Shia Muslims, 24 Yazidis, eight refugees with religion given as other, and one with no religion.

Syrians of all religious and ethnic groups have been victimized in the costly civil war, which has pitted a regime dominated by Allawites  a sect of Shia Islam  and its Shia allies against mostly Sunni rebel groups.

Totalitarians love Muslims because if you can corrupt the leadership you have a docile, primitive people to rule. Western governments, while paying lip service to the ideals of liberty and self-determination, were enamored of Mao and Stalin’s control of their populations - and built/propped them up. In the 1920s and 30s Europeans realized their way of life was threatened by communists intent on world domination; despite their best efforts they were stymied in protecting their nations by coordinated invasions by Stalin in the east and the US in the west.

Once here, don’t they get to bring their immediate relatives over too?



To: Enlightened1

This is insanity, plain and simple.



To: floridavoter2

Yes, new refugees immediately get busy bringing over their relatives. This keeps the state welfare employees happily employed.

How many are going to Chappaqua? Or to Adams Morgan (or wherever Obama is moving to in January)? How many of these poor immigrant children will be attending the nursery school that Chelsea’s spawn attends? Instead we will be saddled with them. I know in my area the Lutheran and Catholic Churches are heading up the refugee situation. Thanks for nothing.

I’m looking forward to seeing President Trump resettle those 13,210 refugees back in their home countries.

I hope he sends them back in a coffin along with all the rats that allowed this to happen in the first place.



To: pinkandgreenmom

Why don’t you tell them to stop importing terrorists?

Why send them back in a coffin? Who’s paying? You?
