KRASNODAR, Russia -- Thousands of Muslims from a small ethnic group known as the Meskhetian Turks are fleeing this Black Sea region for the United States. The exodus is caused by what human rights groups call a campaign of persecution sanctioned by local authorities and spearheaded by the Cossacks, a Russian militia that fought for the czars and is being revived.
In the past year, just more than 5,000 Meskhetian Turks have resettled in the United States as refugees, and 4,400 have approval to immigrate, according to the U.S. Embassy in Moscow. Another 7,000 have filed applications that U.S. officials are reviewing.
Rustam Zautadze, 35, and his family, Meskhetian Turks who live in southern Russia, are moving to Baltimore as refugees. Zautadze, packs with his wife, Gulmira, 29, son Ibragim, 13, daughter, Fedena, 5, and son Dzumali, 10. jpg

Just a freakin' minute: We're supposed to provide a sanctuary for a bunch of muslim refugees too poisonous fro even the Russians to deal with???
I've got a better idea: send the bastards to Iran!
Allowing these fanatics into our country is inviting the same thing to happen here.
This is just crazy. Trouble for the future.
LOL!
Ummm, right here: sign me up!

To come to America and make it Muslim land.
"Why doesn't Turkey take them?"
Plenty of rooms from the areas where they exterminated to Greeks and Armenians.
"Oh, before I forget,
It IS Bush's fault!"

Sack of shit
Assimilator/Acceptor.
We don't need their detritus.
