The family, consisting of mother, father and two children, are members of the Greek Catholic Melkite Church in Damascus.

HaHa...No one else is taking Christians...This pope expects the free world to adopt the muzlims...But not the pope...

What a faker...

kagnew: Since this family is now free, why is this woman dressed like a muslim??????

Ann Archy: GOOD FREAKING QUESTION!!!

No, extremely ignorant and typically xenophobic American question. This woman is Middle Eastern, and dresses in the manner of her culture. You two should get out more.

"dressed like a muslim"...[rolls eyes and shakes head]

Tough luck, NYer. I was born insensitive.

I’ve had this out with you people before - some of you who were fainting over that dead child - er, that human shield who happened to end up dead in the water - while the father was trying to get dental work in Germany.

This Pope picked a pristine, politically-correct family while the rest of Europe and the USA will be overrun by murderous jihadis.

If you decide to take in refugees, I hope you will be as powerful as the Pope to take in a clean-living family as opposed two able-bodied muslim men straight out of the movie “Boudu Saved from Drowning.”

She is dressed like a muslim because her people have been oppressed for centuries into dressing that way, ok?

And wake up, Catholics. These Catholics hate Jews and Israel just as much as Palestinians. Just ask them.

What’s your problem with Americans? We don’t have enough passports for your taste?

I’ll ascribe your silence to my question to that little light bulb flickering on in your head.

Do you read what you post or do you just post? “How very American of you?” Remember that? Why did you write that?

Thanks, Tris.

We can either stand up as Catholics/Christians or we can acquiescence in the overrun of Europe by middle eastern men shepherded by weak-willed politicians and an Argentinian Pope. To me, it is the proverbial no-brainer. No nice photograph of a pretty matron holding a sweet baby is going to change my mind.

Actually it was closer to 5 minutes. No, she's not in America, she's in Vatican City.

I wrote "How very American of you" because xenophobic Americans demand that individuals immediately shed centuries of culture and take on American values - which in this case was absolutely ludicrous, considering the fact that this family wasn't even in America to begin with.

In fact, if you've ever read history, immigrants who came to America 100 years ago congregated in common communities. There were Italian neighborhoods, Jewish neighborhoods, German neighborhoods, Irish neighborhoods, each with their own way of dressing, talking, and so forth. Yes, dressing.

Did they eventually assimilate? Yes. Are the immigrants today assimilating? Most aren't, and that's the rub. But to arrogantly demand that this woman immediately throw off her "muslim" dress is absolutely insulting. Jewish communities, especially Hasidic communities, still have strange ways of dressing. Are you going to mock them also?

She’s remarkably well-dressed and with perfect make-up. She and the baby are beautiful. It seems suspicious to me, particularly with all of the men who are “refugees”.

How shameful that some of you can't or won't distinguish between a Middle Eastern Muslim and a Middle Eastern Christian.
