A Jordan-based priest warned that Christian refugees from Iraq and Syria are being discriminated against due to Western policies, and at the same time are being “eliminated” by the Islamic State terror group.

Father Khalil Jaar, of the Messengers of Peace Association, argued that Christians are not only being persecuted by IS, but they are also being discriminated against by Western governments who are only taking in refugees from the main designated camps.

The problem with that is that many Christians, fearing attacks from Muslim extremists, refuse to enter the camps, which leaves them out of the circle of those receiving help.

Khalil also told Catholic charity Aid to the Church in Need that some refugees entering Europe have sympathies with IS, and argued that there is a “direct link” between the mass migration of refugees and the Paris attacks in November, where 130 people were killed.

“The West has totally failed to recognize what is going on in the Middle East,” Khalil said.
