US, UK 'Ignore Christian Refugees, Prefer Muslims'
- 9 years ago
Christian minorities forced out of their homes who manage to reach the United States and other Western nations sometimes encounter more trouble - so reports the Gatestone Institute International Policy Council.
In San Diego, California, for example, a group of over 25 Christians who fled the Islamic State in Iraq were detained for more than six months - until they were finally ordered deported earlier this month.
"They are being held without a real reason," said Mark Arabo, a spokesman for the Chaldean community in San Diego, at one of the protests.
In the United Kingdom, Christian leaders are accusing Prime Minister David Cameron of "turning his back" on Christians facing genocide in Syria and Iraq by failing to grant them refuge in the UK - even while thousands of Muslims have been allowed entry.
