This man will not attempt to defend himself on this media, if I'M right, he hopes that eventually a critic that once jumped to conclusions about his character of an event, will realize their own correction . He is a thinker and uses strategy. Look over the issue and rethink now months later what he was doing.

The persons fleeing Syria are refugees who have no place to live, largley bc of Assad and ISIS. <br /><br />Many Islamic countries are theocracies. When you come down to it, England is a theocracy with a recognized Church. Democracy is rare in the Middle East. Israel allows members of all faiths to vote and hold office. Arabic countries like Jordan and Lebanon have traditionally accorded a high level of freedom to Christians. Lebanon has had Christians in its government, and I believe that is so in Jordan as well. But in other countries, discrimination exists. I am no expert on this topic and defer to MM and others who are more knowledgable.Bernie O'Harehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13756311150988957401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-18714752959363978752015-10-15T12:22:37.871-04:002015-10-15T12:22:37.871-04:00I don't agree with their post on this issue. ...I don't agree with their post on this issue.

Syrians who have relatives in the U.S have to utilize a different program to get in and that is slower... Each refugee coming in is given a one time stipend of something like $975 which really has to last three months. Refugees with families have a better time with rent because they can pool together their money. But after three months the Church group really pushes to find a job for them.<br /><br />The Syrians I know living in my area have until now supported Assad because even though he is a dictator he did go out and attack Christians ...
