Vast majority of Syrian Refugees Admitted to US are Muslim 14,074 Syrian Refugees Admitted to US in Year Since Paris Attacks; 99.1% Muslim November 15, 2016 – The Obama administration has resettled 14,074 Syrian refugees in the United States since the Paris terror attacks a year ago prompted concerns that terrorist groups could exploit refugee admission programs to infiltrate Western countries.

Of those 14,074 refugees, 13,954 (99.1 percent) are Muslims, including 13,808 Sunnis, 27 Shi’ites, and 119 others self-described in State Department Refugee Processing Center data as simply “Moslem.” Eighty-three (0.58 percent) of the 14,074 Syrian arrivals are Christians, and another 28 (0.19 percent) are Yazidis, another minority which, like the Christian community, has been singled out and targeted by violent jihadists in what the U.S. and several other governments have labeled “genocide.”

More than four million Syrians have fled the civil war in their homeland since 2011, according to the U.N. refugee agency

The Christian cohort comprises 17 Catholics, 15 Orthodox, five Protestants, four Jehovah’s Witnesses, one Greek Orthodox and 41 refugees described as “Christian” with no further denomination provided. Of the 14,074 Syrian refugees admitted over the past year, 3,520 (25 percent) are males between the ages of 14 and 50, and 3,192 (22.6 percent) are females aged 14-50. Another 6,816 (48.4 percent) are children aged under 14, made up of 3,508 boys and 3,308 girls. A further 302 are men older than 51, and 244 are women in that age bracket. Viewed differently, 10,252 (72.84 percent) of the Syrian refugees admitted since the Paris attack are women and children, while 3,822 (27.15 percent) are men aged over 14. The ethnic breakdown of the 14,074 Syrian refugees is 13,001 (92.3 percent) Arabs, 889 (6.3 percent) Kurds, 112 (0.8 percent) Turkmen, 16 Armenians and 11 Assyrians. The rest are made up of 10 Circassians, nine Chechens, four Turks, two Syriacs and 20 “other.” MORE

Since the Christian population of Syria was around 10% and many had left the country already, those numbers aren't exactly shocking.

Who's lettin' `em in now?...

132 Syrian Muslim Refugees Admitted to U.S. in 4 Days After Inauguration
January 25, 2017 – Since the day after President Trump’s inauguration, 773 refugees have been admitted into the United States.

The largest single contingent, 136-strong, comprises Syrian refugees, according to State Department Refugee Processing Center data. Of those, 132 (97 percent) are Muslims, three are Yazidis and one is a Christian. Sizeable groups have also arrived since January 21 from other countries compromised by terrorism, including 88 from Somalia, 80 from Iraq and 52 from Iran. (If the count includes the day of the inauguration, the number rises to 878 in total, including 166 Syrians and 115 Iraqis.) The president is reportedly planning to issue executive orders this week freezing refugee admissions, pending measures to strengthen the security vetting process.

According to a Reuters report, Trump will in addition move to restrict immigration from seven specified countries – Syria, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen. The seven include the three countries currently designated by the State Department as state-sponsors of terrorism – Iran, Syria and Sudan – and others that have been among the most affected by terrorism in recent years. Not included, however, are several countries that scored high on the most recent Global Terrorism Index, notably Afghanistan (2nd on the list), Nigeria (3rd), Pakistan (4th), India (7th) and Egypt (9th).

Rankings on the index, compiled by the Institute for Economics and Peace, are calculated based on the number of terrorist incidents, fatalities, casualties, and the level of property damage. The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) said late Tuesday that the anticipated executive orders “will be the actual implementation of what then-candidate Trump said would be a complete ban on Muslims entering the United States.” “These [orders] will not make our nation safer, rather they will make it more fearful and less welcoming,” CAIR national executive director Nihad Awad tweeted in response to the Reuters report.

Trump has already said that he's putting a stop to this asinine unvetted immigrant policy from dangerous areas. He's only one guy, and not every policy which was in place before he became POTUS stops and reverses on a dime.

If you or the article's author seeks to blame someone, blame Obama, as he's responsible for the ongoing policy.

...In an appearance on Fox News’s O’Reilly Factor on Tuesday night, the billionaire and presidential candidate said the US had a responsibility to do more for the millions of people who have fled Syria’s chaotic civil war since 2011.

“You know, it’s living in hell in Syria. There’s no question about it,” Trump said. “They’re living in hell, and something has to be done.””*

Do you believe that he's now advocating bringing those people here, or could he be advocating improving their conditions in their own country?
