Daily we hear of the Shiites persecuting (killing actually) the Sunnis and the Sunnis persecuting the Shiites in Iraq. Today Jihad Watch (www.jihadwatch.org) reported on a bombing of a children’s hospital in a Shiite area reportedly by Sunnis.
Part of the definition of refugee is someone who has a well-founded fear of persecution due to one’s religion. So, if Sunnis claim persecution by Shiites, and Shiite refugees claim persecution by Sunnis they both then have a claim to come to the US for resettlement.
Will their battle (over a thousand years old) follow them to the cities and towns of middle America?
