Christians Need To Stop Being So Naive About Muslim Immigration
The Federalist ^ | 1/6/17 | By Wendy Wilson

Posted on 05/09/2019 7:01:35 PM PDT by OddLane

Soon after the November attack at Ohio State University, we learned the Somali Muslim perpetrator had been welcomed to the United States as a refugee by Catholic Charities of Dallas. This bit of news caught my attention because years ago I worked there for a brief time.

In the early 1990s after graduating from college, I served there for a year as part of a volunteer stipend program, helping immigrants caught here illegally prepare their cases for immigration court. My roommates worked on the refugee resettlement side, helping newly arrived families with refugee status...

This passage indicates that the immigrants he was helping were apprehended in an illegal manner - e.g., without probable cause.

I suspect that the author made a mistake here, and was actually referring to helping illegal aliens to prepare their cases.

“The roman church leaders have a real soft spot for muslims since they claim to love Mary so much.”

Handle snakes much? Muzzies claim to revere “Bibi Maryam” as the mother of a prophet lesser than their pedophile Mohammed. Catholics honor Mary as the mother of Jesus and no, she is not worshiped as a goddess. Catholics and other Christians are fiercely persecuted in the Muslim world as “infidels”.

Oh, and learn to capitalize.

there is one religion, Christianity/Judaism, which can be “freely expressed” as Jesus did, without ever committing any wrong against man or God. thus, it is already the only religious and moral Standard to which the 1st Amendment can rationally apply as framed by our Founders.

Don’t tell me, tell the roman church leaders.

I’ve had them tell me that to my face.

You mean they barged into the room shouting “NNNOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition!!!”..?

OK, we’ve got a really sh***y Pope and I never thought I’d say that about any Pontiff and he has sucked up to the muzzies in a truly shameful way.

My Polish priest, now a U.S. citizen, thinks Francis is a jerk and is proud that his native Poland is shutting off all Muslim incursions. But anyone who thinks there is a commonality between Christians and Muslims based on a “mutual regard” for the personage of Mary is in deep heresy, IMO.

Sadly, given the Pope they have today, and what they’re doing through NGOs to destroy Europe and the US through mass migration, is giving money to Catholic Church all that different than Jews giving money to the German Nazi Party in the early 1930s?

I have not been naive since at least Beirut in the 1970s.

I am not responsible for the naivete of other Christians.

Once, Beirut was the “Paris of the Middle East”

Now, Paris is the “Beirut of Europe”

The Myth of Altruism

Catholic Charities is aiding murder & violence.

Catholic Charities are sick dirtbags.

Think about it, what prevents a Leftist from setting up a charity and calling it something like Christian Aid Fund? Someone like Veritias should look into some of these groups to see if what they do matches their names.

If a nation does not regulate who can enter and immigrate, it will soon cease to be a nation. It seems like few people seem to understand that, others simply brush it off.

It is a demonstrable fact that the larger the moslem population, the more terrorism a nation will suffer. Why are we bringing more of them in?

One way tolerance is tyranny

That is one of the more profound, timely statements I've seen in a long time.

Christians need to wake up about the direction the Democrat party is taking this nation.

Yes. George Bush’s “Faith-based Initiates”, that most of us approved of. He played us for chumps and suckers.

Hopeling for a real awakening of the masses before too late.
