CNSNews.com) – The Obama administration has admitted 499 Syrian refugees so far this month, with no Christians among them.

 

Of the 499 admitted in May, 495 are Sunni Muslims and the remaining four are described simply as “Moslem” in State Department Refugee Processing Center data.

 

Since FY2016 began on October 1, a total of 2,235 Syrian refugees have been resettled in the United States. Of them, 10 (0.44 percent) are Christians: three Catholics, two Orthodox, one Greek Orthodox and four refugees identified simply as “Christian.”

 

Christians make up the biggest non-Muslim minority in Syria – about 10 percent before the civil war erupted.Scissors-32x32.png
