Do you DENY that when people become Muslims that they DON'T change their name to a Muslim name?
I think you are being obtuse, again.
No, I was baptized as an adult.
What muslims do, or don't do has nothing to with what Christians do, or should do.
How many Christians do you know who changed their name because the old was not Matthew, Paul or John? Why should any one do that? The Bible does not say you should do that.
Where did you get the idea that you should change your name when you become a Christian?
The administration admitted a total of 12,587 Syrian refugees during the just-ended fiscal year, exceeding the target President Obama declared last fall by 2,587 (20.5 percent).
Of the 12,587, the vast majority are Sunni Muslims – 12,363 (98.2 percent) – while another 103 are identified in State Department Refugee Processing Center data simply as Muslims and a further 20 as Shi’a Muslims.
Sixty-eight of the 12,587 Syrian refugees (0.5 percent) are Christians. They comprise 16 Catholics, eight Orthodox, five Protestants, four Jehovah’s Witnesses, one Greek Orthodox, and 34 refugees self-identified simply as Christians.
... When the conflict began in 2011, an estimated 10 percent of the Syrian population (1.5-1.7 million) was Christian and 74 percent was Sunni Muslim.
In contrast, Christians accounted for just half of one percent of the refugees resettled in the United States in FY 2016, while Sunnis accounted for 98.2 percent.
Obama, the "Christian", has focused heavily on bringing Muslims here. Does anyone believe he is really a Christian?
He exceeded the original plan of 10,000 by over 20%. I guess he has been doing more than playing golf.
I wonder how much that cost the citizens of American ?
That's one way to look at it. Or you could consider that if 10% are radicals when they enter, since the experts say there is no good way to properly vet them, then that's a whole lot of people who can cause a whole lot of damage, recruit, etc.
The most logical thing would've been to take care of these people in their home lands and/or build safe zones so they could eventually return to where they really want to be. I don't believe that all of these refugees really want to be here and they would prefer a life in their own countries.
Had Obama and Clinton had a clue about what they were doing this refugee crisis never would have happened to begin with.
There are plenty of middle east countries who should take them..Where are they in all this? They are rich too. Kuwait is filthy rich .. mega rich..
We have never been 20 trillion dollars in debt before. Wake up.. we are heading into a big market decline.
64 thousand dollars to relocate each Syrian refugee.. where is that money coming from? Borrowed? And they talk that Social Security will have to raise the age or go belly up. and people are paying into it .. most people will be dead before they can retire. Americans get the shaft again.
I am a Christian, but I don't know anyone who has changed their name because of it.
You have never heard of Jorge Mario Bergoglio AKA Pope Francis?

no need to be so scared, we have been accepting refugees from war torn countries for many many years.
