UN Criticizes Canada's Decision to Take in Syrian Christians Instead of Muslims

[link to refugeeresettlementwatch.wordpress.com]

From the article:

"Last week when Asst. Secretary of State Anne Richard went to Geneva and promised the UNHCR that the US would take 9,000 mostly Muslim Syrians, the Canadian government made no such promise. Instead word leaked out that they might speed up their resettlement, but for only Christians and other persecuted minorities."

And:

"This suggestion, to take only religious minorities (code for non-Muslims), sure does smoke out the UNHCR and its apparent goal to move as many Muslims to the West as they can. If the UNHCR was really concerned for the well being of persecuted people, its response would have been: we are thrilled that Canada is giving a home to deserving people."

I don't know why it's Canada's burden to take in any immigrant refugees, but at least this is the lesser of two evils.
