US
Bishops Call for Influx of 200,000 Refugees
Critics are concerned that Muslim terrorists could smuggle in
jihadists among refugees
WASHINGTON,
October 13, 2015 (ChurchMilitant.com)
- The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) is appealing to the U.S.
government to take in 100,000 Syrian refugees by the end of the year, along
with an additional 100,000 from other countries. The population of Syrian
refugees is overwhelmingly Muslim.
In
a message distributed via email, the USCCB is encouraging Catholics to submit a
letter to their congressional representatives as well as to President Obama
urging the government to "protect the lives and dignity of people in Syria,
Iraq and in other countries suffering war, persecution and poverty."
According to the pre-transcribed letter this
is to be accomplished by accepting "more Syrian refugees — especially
the most vulnerable — and ensur[ing] their safe resettlement" while
providing "generous aid to nations in the Middle East that are hosting
millions of refugees."

The U.S.
Conference of Catholic Bishops is calling for the U.S. to take in 100,000
Syrian refugees this year alone, with no regard for the fact that the Islamic
State said last February that it would soon flood Europe with as many as 500,000 refugees, or
for the fact that an Islamic State
operative recently boasted that among the flood of refugees,
4,000 Islamic State jihadis had entered Europe, or for the fact that the
Lebanese Education Minister said that there were 20,000 jihadis among the refugees in
camps in his country, or for the fact that 80 percent of the migrants who claim to be fleeing the
war in Syria aren't actually from Syria at all, or for the fact that German
Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere said that the Islamic State was
sneaking into the country with the refugees and was active in the refugee
camps.
