Congress has some say because we can appropriate or defund what the President is doingif we have leadership with courage to do that. This article goes on: "In July. 4.000 more Assyrian Christian families were among the 120.000 people who fled Hasakah to escape ISIS forces who had entered the city looking to carry out a mass ethnoreligious slaughter. "Fleeing Muslim persecution. Christian refugees are often targeted and persecuted anew by fleeing Muslim refugees." The International Business Times reported: "Italian police have arrested 15 Muslim immigrants in Palermo. for allegedly having thrown Christian refugees off the rubber boat that was taking them to Italy after a fight for religious reasons. according to media reports. "Those arrestedfrom Mali. Guinea and Ivory Coastwere part of a group of 100 that were rescued off the Libyan coast by the Italian coast guard. "The Archbishop of Canterbury. recently warned British Prime Minister David Cameron that his governments refugee policy was discriminating against Christians because Christians are not among the refugees being helped in U.N. camps. They are not in the U.N. camps because they fear persecution from radicalized Muslim refugees. "The Most Reverend Justin Welby reportedly met the Prime Minister earlier this month with concerns that Christians in Syria will be largely excluded from the 20.000 refugees due to come to the U.K. over the next 5 years. "The government. in line with European Union policy. is committed to taking in refugees from U.N. camps in Syria and neighboring countries. It cannot discriminate in favor of any one religious group. But the Archbishop has raised concerns that Christians have avoided refugee camps because of fears of persecution from rogue Islamist groups operating inside refugee camps. "In a speech in the House of Lords last Monday.

"He went on: What is the governments policy of reaching out to those who are not actually in the camps?" Lord Carey. who wrote in the Telegraph about his concern of the plight of Christians. wrote: "The frustration for those of us who have been calling for compassion for Syrian victims for many months is that the Christian community is yet again left at the bottom of the heap. "Mr. Camerons policy inadvertently discriminates against the very Christian communities most victimized by the inhuman butchers of the socalled Islamic State. "Christians are not to be found in the U.N. camps. because they have been attacked and targeted by Islamists and driven from them. They are seeking refuge in private homes. church buildings. and with neighbors and family. "Refugees who want to come to the United States will also be required to apply through the U.N. "A combination of European cowardice and awful American foreign policy has led to a mass Muslim migration that will affect the whole world." "Lt. Col. Ralph Peters disagreed somewhat with that assessment." He said. "I think you were much. much too soft on President Obama and a bit too hard on the E.U. . . .If America doesnt lead. it doesnt happen." He went on to say: "Just look at a map of the Middle East . . . on George W.
