Quote of the day: "The worst terrorists in the USA are white male Christians"

"The worst terrorists in the USA are white male Christians" is a racist quote from a comment left on Cory Heidelberger's post regarding SB200, a bill to prohibit certain actions by the state regarding refugee resettlement. I am awaiting the minutes from the hearing before I provide my entire analysis. In the meantime, I want to bring forward this fact:

The United States has accepted 10,801 Syrian refugees, of whom 56 are Christian. Not 56 percent; 56 total, out of 10,801. That is to say, one half of one percent. The BBC says that ten percent of all Syrians are Christian, which would mean 2.2 million Christians. It is quite obvious, and President Obama and Secretary Kerry have acknowledged it, that Middle Eastern Christians are an especially persecuted group.

So how is it that one half of one percent of the Syrian refugees we’ve admitted are Christian, or 56, instead of about 1,000 out of 10,801--or far more, given that they certainly meet the legal definition? The definition: someone who "is located outside of the United States; Is of special humanitarian concern to the United States; Demonstrates that they were persecuted or fear persecution due to race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group." Somewhere between a half million and a million Syrian Christians have fled Syria, and the United States has accepted 56. Why?

“This is de facto discrimination and a gross injustice,” Nina Shea, who is director of the Hudson Institute’s Center for Religious Freedom, told Fox News. Fox notes another theory: that the United States takes refugee referrals from the UN refugee camps in Jordan and there are no Christians there. Here’s the Fox excerpt:

Experts say another reason for the lack of Christians in the make-up of the refugees is the make-up of the camps. Christians in the main United Nations refugee camp in Jordan are subject to persecution, they say, and so flee the camps, meaning they are not included in the refugees referred to the U.S. by the U.N.

“The Christians don’t reside in those camps because it is too dangerous,” Shea said. “They are preyed upon by other residents from the Sunni community and there is infiltration by ISIS and criminal gangs.”

“They are raped, abducted into slavery and they are abducted for ransom. It is extremely dangerous, there is not a single Christian in the Jordanian camps for Syrian refugees,” Shea said.

So instead of bringing the refugees who are being raped and abducted into slavery, the Lutherans potentially could be bringing into South Dakota those Jihadis who are persecuting Christians, including the white males. This is what they called during yesterday's committee hearing on SB200, "Welcoming the stranger." I was there in person and will provide more coverage once I get the official list on those who testified against SB200, which included the Governor's office and his band of crony capitalists from the Chamber of Commerce. And sadly, we have Cory's gang of white hating, male bashing, anti-Christian bigots celebrating the defeat of SB200. 

UPDATE: here is Cory's response to the racist comment:

Roger, Debbo, your comments seem the only way that a sensible Republican might have a chance of explaining to Al just how vile his comment in committee today was.

But enough explaining. It’s time to vote this vile racism out of our Senate.

Perhaps Cory should first stop the promotion of racism on his web site, if he is truly against it. He should also understand that Islamic Jihad is not about race, and is not about Muslims...it is about the Muslim Brotherhood.

Just say it: radical christianic terrorism. Good guy with a gun=white guy; bad guy with a gun=brown guy. Just like the Second Amendment is about white privilege, "pro-life" is about white people breeding. What Cory doesn't get is that a majority of South Dakota believes in apartheid.

Radical christianic terrorism: since the alleged jihadist attacks on September 11, 2001 homegrown terrorists have killed nearly twice as many people in the United States than foreign-influenced militants have. Nickolas Cruz, Stephen Paddock, Timothy McVeigh, Dylann Roof, Adam Lanza, James Holmes, Eric Rudolph, Jared Loughner, Wade Michael Page, Ted Kaczynski and Eric Frein all are or were christians. 60% of guns recovered in crimes in Chicago come from outside the state.

Forget about all the ad hominem labeling.

Bottom line: This is about Islam and Sharia Law.

1. The article in the link below explains what
Sharia law allows.
We have a lesser form of Sharia law ALREADY
effectively implemented in South Dakota.

2. Sharia law is derived from the Quran,
the Sira (life of Mohammad) and
the Hadith (the traditions & sayings of Mohammad).

3. Sharia law prohibits ANY criticism of Islam.

4. IMHO, we have effective Sharia in South Dakota via the South Dakota Voices for Peace & Justice (@sdv4justice) (Taneeza Islam is their Exec. Dir.). Just last fall this organization got two separate free speech events (3 speakers total) shut down by pressuring the host of the event. They are also very active at the SD Legislature shutting down any questioning of Islam or immigration policy.

5. It appears that the members of the Interfaith Group are (unwitting?) pawns being used by @sdj4justice to prevent criticism of Islam.

6. IMHO, it's apparent that the SD ACLU and the Argus Leader are willing accomplices of @sdv4justice in shutting down free speech by labeling anything that even quotes the Islamic texts as "hate."

7. How can it be hate when you are using the actual texts from the Quran, Sira & Hadith?

8. It's not hate - they just don't want you to know what Islamic doctrine actually says.

Radical christianic terrorism.

I do confess to wondering why Muslims would want to live in a shithole like South Dakota.
