Pretty rotten timing for this demand wouldn’t you say?
Just what Canada needs right now—to welcome 10,000 Muslims in at this time. Granted the Islamic killers Canada has had to deal with over the last week are “home grown,” I’m thinking the average Canadian citizen is fed up with everything ‘Islam’ and is saying WTH to this latest from the humanitarian industrial complex. [Update: sort of home grown!]
By the way, most Syrian refugees being resettled around the world right now are Sunni Muslims from UN run camps.
From UNHCR News of course:
Humanitarian groups want Immigration Minister Chris Alexander to immediately let 10,000 Syrian refugees settle here and they want an explanation why the Canadian government is dragging its feet when it comes to resettling Syrians.
In 2013, Ottawa promised to admit 1,300 Syrian refugees yet the groups say only 200 people have been accepted into Canada, said Faisal Alazem, a Syrian-Canadian with the humanitarian group the Union of Syrian Medical Relief Organizations. The union helps set up field hospitals inside Syria.
Every time they ask Ottawa for precise numbers on how many Syrians have been let in, they get the runaround, said Alazem,
“There is never a clear answer. There are always answers that deflect you. We hear a lot that Canada prides itself in hosting one in every 10 (world) refugees. But our estimate is that there are not more than 200 Syrian refugees here, so far,” he said, referring to the 2013 promise.
Read it all (but you won’t find the words Christian Syrians if that is what you are looking for).
