Roy Green - Sun Dec 14 - Refugees In Canada

Yesterday we spoke about the federal government's decision to accept approximately 1300 refugees from Syria. However The government will give priority to religious minorities in Syria who Ottawa identifies as being persecuted. That may mean Muslims will be excluded from the list of refugees Canada is willing to accept from Syria. Dr. Zuhdi Jasser, fmr U.S. Navy Lt. Commander and Sunni Muslim whose family emigrated from Syria and who still has family in Syria questioned Ottawa's decision. Callers supported the federal government, leading to the question of whether callers believe Muslims should be "excluded" for consideration as refugees from Syria's conflict. We resume the segment.
