TX Refugees: “We thank God and the U.S. to be here and safe”

The journey comes with challenges big and small. Nabeel Hasan had to change his name, after officials spelled his name wrong on immigration documents.

“It was double “s” but when they put it in the I-94, they put in one “s”. When I get the ID it must be the same,” he says.

His three sons couldn’t join him today and remain in Iraq. With tensions high, he fears the worst. But he hopes one day they’ll join him in America. “This is my wish. Every day I ask God about that,” said Hasan. “We thank God and the United States to be here and safe.”

The meal was sponsored by Interfaith Action of Central Texas, one of several non-profits who help refugees begin their new life. Once a refugee arrives in this country, non-profits do the heavy-lifting to get them settled.

We checked and the Federal government only provides an apartment for 90 days and healthcare for 180 days. Beyond that, it just offers grants for non-profits to help with English programs.

As Sen Sessions wisely observed......this is an invasion of enemy combatants. They are storming the gates....posing as war-weary displaced refugees looking for shelter.

THE MUSLIM DOCTRINE OF TAQIYYA....ITS OKAY TO LIE TO AN INFIDEL....For those with a discerning eye, taqiyya is all around us. Muslim refugees have pretended to convert to Christianity; an Islamic gunman gained entrance inside a church by feigning interest in Christian prayers. Examples abound on a daily basis.

In Turkey, to get close enough to a Christian pastor to assassinate him, a group of Muslims — including three women — feigned interest in Christianity, attended his church for over a year, and even participated in baptism ceremonies.

Said the Christian pastor: These people had infiltrated our church and collected information about me, my family and the church and were preparing an attack against us. … Two of them attended our church for over a year and they were like family. It was all a huge pretense to kill the Christian pastor.

=======================================

DUPING THE POPE Pope Francis is urging refugees be taken in and aided.....the Pope took in a family of Muslim refugees into the Papal residence.....and spoke of his being transformed by them.

Little does he know.

Hate-filled Muslims are saving their most vicious attacks for the Pope: the plan is to hang him in public from the Papal balcony and turn the Vatican into a mosque.....which means destroying 2000 years of priceless works of art.

News reports say there are scores of Muslims surrounding the Vatican....lying-in-wait in Muslim prayer rooms.

I read the article and even did a page search for "Chaldean" ... zero results. Are you making an assumption or did I miss a data point?

And a potent counter attack to a Satanic attack like this... please hear me out... might be gospel squads.

That's not wrong. Yes, we're fighting evil men, and that is done with the usual physical weapons. We're also fighting "Principalities and Powers", against which we need the Gospel.

Unless he’s Christian or Jew, that ain’t God he’s talking to...

Quite simple to vet them. Force them to attend a pork roast and eat the pork, place hand on the Bible and take an oath, and sign document refuting Islam. Take lots of photos of each of these events. Once thy go postal, post all the photos and the documents. They will be cleansed by their own.

It is estimated that on average, their are 27 “honor” killings a year in the USA. Out of the ~ 2,100 refugees allowed in so far this year, about 40 of them were Christian.

Turns out the Christians being targeted by the muslim radicals don’t qualify. We only grant refugee status to people persecuted by their own GOVERNMENT (Assad).

Funny thing - Assad is going after (persecuting?) the terrorists!

What is it you think I should know about Chaldeans? Why is it important that they stick together once they get here?

I was addressing your ignorance in your assumption this individual was a Muslim, which he isn't.

Then I attempted to educate you that Iraqi Chaldeans are CHRISTIANS, NOT MUSLIMS................

Why is it important that they stick together once they get here?

Because they immediately try to assimilate to our society after they arrive. You know, get jobs, pay taxes, go to their respective Catholic churches.........EVERYTHING THAT YOU DEMAND OF FOREIGNERS ARRIVING TO THIS COUNTRY.

Is there anything else you would like to know about Chaldeans Mr. Smartass?......LOL!
