#1 I give this story credibility. The US has been resettling religious minorities from many parts of the world. For instance many Jews and Baptists from Russia were resettled in the US. Russia suddenly had many folks to converted to Baptists or found their long lost Jewish roots. Bantus are another example.

#2 At a time of war with "extremists" in the Islamic faith, is it prudent for the USA to bring in 7000 more Muslims to our shores? A year ago we brought in 10,000 Somalians. More feel good nonsense.If extremists only represent a small percentage of Muslims -say 5%- out of 17,000 new Muslim immigrants we're looking at potentially 850 "evil doers" in the new immigrant ranks.

Last week there was a guy interviewed on Scarborough Country...in relation to the Annie Jacobsen story, and this guy said AQ had operatives/sympathizers employed in our Immigration Dept. as well as other sensitive gov't departments. Point of his comment was that AQ is patient. AQ gets its ducks in a row before a strike, and is willing to wait for years to do so.

#3 I don't have a problem with them resettling. I wouldn't have a problem with having a large number of Kurds move in to my neighborhood. The enemy is the Wahabiists - pure and simple.

#4 These are Turkish Moslems who were deported from Georgian regions close to Turkey by Stalin. They were forcibly resettled in the 'stans. The Uzbeks, for one, don't like them and there were pogroms in 1989.

After the dissolution of the USSR, Turkey became increasingly more sensitive to the plight of the Ahiska Turks in the 1990s. With the âLaw for the Acceptance into Turkey and Resettlement of the Ahiska Turksâ passed in 1992, Turkey agreed not only to the resettlement in Turkey of the Ahiska Turks but also granted dual citizenship to those Ahiska Turks who would remain in the newly-independent former Soviet republics.15 This law gave a new impetus to the migration to Turkey of the Ahiska Turks, whose main aim was migrating to Turkey rather than returning to their homeland in Georgia.
