Catholic Charities Resettled Muslim Who Waged Jihad at Ohio State Univ
2016-11-30
It was June 5, 2014 when a young teenager named Abul Razak Ali Artan arrived in Dallas with his mother and six siblings. A little more than two years before he was the suspect in a violent knife attack on the Ohio State campus.

'We gave them aid and comfort and some shelter as part of the government resettlement program,' explained Catholic Charities C.E.O. Dave Woodyard.

The Somali immigrants arrived from Pakistan at D/FW International Airport via JFK International Airport. Catholic Charities says someone from the organization likely picked the family up from the airport when they arrived.

According to Catholic Charities of Dallas records, the family was in temporary housing in Dallas for 23 days, leaving June 28, 2014.

'Then they emigrated. Left, and moved onto Columbus, Ohio,' Woodyard said. 'And that’s when we closed our file.'

Woodyard said that file will now be shared with the Columbus Police Department in its investigation of Monday’s attack.

Woodyard points out that refugees are vetted by the U.S. Department of State before they arrive in the United States and that organizations like Catholic Charities are there to help them assimilate and start new lives."
How many pieces of taxpayer silver did you receive for your services, Mr. Woodyard?

#15  It's not just Catholic Charities doing the resettlements. Lots of "charities" and lawyers involved. It's the government monies that are paying for US taxpayers to fly refugees over and then pay them all sorts of benefits when they get here that need to be addressed.

I think even the immigrants settled here then turn around and start businesses resettling more of them for our tax dollars.

It really needs to be addressed.

#14  Woodyard points out that refugees are vetted by the U.S. Department of State before they arrive in the United States What a load of nonsense and State Department propaganda in this statement. State is culpable for bringing this into our house.

#13  ...or the Feds simply using CC as cover. The Fed's treatment of the Little Sisters of the Poor implies this administration has no love of the church or principled Christians for that matter.

#12  Is it not true that Catholic Charities is paid by the Feds to resettle Muslims? If so then it may not be such a noble task.

#11  All human organizations of good, eventually become evil. And then at times good again. That is why the temple veil was ripped upon the crucifixion. True Christianity is to be a very personal issue, un-beholden to any community. It was announced to Pilot by Christ at the inquisition, "My Kingdom is not of this world." Clearly for good reason. While Islam has lone wolves, Christians are considered lone lambs. That is not a weakness, because of the ultimate power over evil held by their Shepard. Have a nice day.

#10  That's my guess no mo uro. Of course, that seems to be true of the papacy at all levels these days.

I'm not Catholic myself so I don't know but things seem to be different since the days of JP II.

#8  Just how 'Catholic' are the Catholic Charities? The refugee pipeline needs to be shutdown, for all refugees.

In what privately run business would an investment of this sort be treated in such a manner?

#1  Catholic Charities has made a lot of money resettling Muslims in America. A suicidal self destructive practice.

It is time to cut off Catholic Charities.
