Letter to the Editor

Editor,

With all the controversy of Barack Obama's desire to grant refugee status to thousands of unvested Muslim aliens from Syria, I pose the following questions:

How many Christian refugees have been granted asylum from the Mideast?

How many of the black Christian refugees from Darfor have been granted asylum here or in Europe?

If you recall five or six years ago, Darfor was in the news as the Muslim Arabs were murdering and burning entire villages in Darfor; refugee camps in neighboring nations we overfilled and then the news media dropped this like a hot potato.

I contacted Senator Roy Blount and Rep. Billy Long's offices and posed the above questions. I was told by both elected public servants they would get back to me, which so far has not happened.
