Growing number of European Union states say they prefer non-Muslim refugees

While most are making their way toward Western European countries, creating a migrant crisis in Europe, other nations such as Australia have said that they will increase their refugee intake to over 25,000 people.

It shouldn’t come as a huge surprise, then, that the politicians pushing hardest for a mostly-Christian refugee intake are also the ones who don’t like Muslims very much.

Employment minister Eric Abetz said Tuesday that Christians in the Middle East were “the most persecuted group in the world” and should be made a priority in terms of receiving help.

Christians in Islamic State held territory, along with other religious minorities, some Sunni tribes, and political dissidents, have been persecuted by the militants, and dozens of churches in Mosul, Iraq, have reportedly been destroyed.

“The Government says it will resettle 20,000 before the end of the present Parliament in five years’ time”.

Happily, it looks as if the government’s resisted the temptation to turn a refugee aid program into yet another opportunity to make Muslims the go-to boogey monsters of Australian politics.

“Statements like this, in their clarity of discrimination against Muslims… assert the counter narrative that Muslims are always going to be discriminated against and vilified in the Australian community”. The leaders of its Roman Catholic and Protestant churches have welcomed refugees arriving by train in Munich and churches around the country have joined local officials in feeding and housing them.

The calls to prioritize Christian refugees were also met with criticism from rights activists who considered that calls “deeply disappointing”.

“We could take 800 Muslims but we don’t have any mosques in Slovakia so how can Muslims be integrated if they are not going to like it here?”

We do not need people who undermine our lifestyle and support religions that have no tolerance to a free lifestyle or a freedom of religion.

A government backbencher was reported as saying some Coalition MPs were telling Mr Abbott “no more Muslim men” should be accepted as refugees.

The IOM said more than 2,600 migrants had drowned trying to cross the Mediterranean in the same period.

Christensen’s been vocal in his opinion that we should be taking Syrian Christians over others, claiming that ISIS terrorists might be disguising themselves as refugees in order to travel covertly to Western countries, and that refugees may take Australian jobs.

A photo of a three-year-old Syrian toddler lying face down on the beach, after he and his family drowned, has sparked worldwide cry over this week, with many urging world countries to shoulder their responsibilities toward the Syrian people.
