German Chancellor Merkel Wants to Take in Iraqi Refugees....Only the Christian Ones.....

My hats off to you Angela Merkel.  Bush, my middle finger is up to you for abandoning Iraq's Christians. Germany wasn't even part of the invasion, and yet they step up to the plate to help these people from being persecuted mercilessly by filthy jihadis.

Chancellor Angela Merkel's Christian Democrats on Wednesday said they would like to see Germany take on thousands of refugees from Iraq. The hitch? They only want the Christians.

For months, ethnic violence has been on the ebb in war-torn Iraq. But that has done little to ease the pressure of over 2 million refugees seeking shelter in neighboring Syria and Jordan. Indeed, for many of them -- particularly those once part of Iraq's Christian minority -- going back may never be an option.

On Wednesday, German Chancellor Angela Merkel's Christian Democratic Union (CDU) party said it would like to see Germany do its part to help out. At a press conference in Berlin, parliamentarian Erika Steinbach, the CDU's human rights spokeswoman, said her party wanted to see Germany accept thousands of Iraqi refugees. In particular, she said, the CDU wants to extend its welcoming hand to Iraqis who have suffered religious persecution in Iraq. In particular, that means the Christians.

According to Steinbach, the CDU envisions bringing a large group (possibly as many as 10,000) of non-Muslim refugees to Germany with the understanding that they would not be treated as asylum seekers. Asylum seekers are not allowed to work in Germany, and Steinbach said that it is unrealistic to think that Christian refugees from Iraq would ever be able to return. For this reason, their ultimate integration in Germany should be supported.

Bush has the balls to consider himself a "devout" Christian while standing by idly as Muslims massacre Christians in a war he started!......

This what we should be doing, not handing out more visas to Saudis.

You know, I told my liberal (but slowly becoming conservative) sister this, and she said, "Even if he wanted to, (George Bush) he could never do it. He could never get past Congress to permit only Iraqi Christians to emigrate here, over Muslim ones".

She's right.
