title : Christian Syrian Family With US Visas Turned Back at Philadelphia Airport After Trump Ban
summary : Two Christian families from Syria who had been working for nearly 15 years to join relatives in the United States were stopped Saturday at the Philadelphia airport and told to return to Doha, Qatar, due to the immigration travel-related executive order signed by President Donald Trump on Friday. Syria was one of seven countries on Trump's list for short-term banning of entry into the U.S., along with Iran, Iraq, Sudan, Libya, Yemen and Somalia. These two families are not refugees, but Christian Syrians, who according to US relatives, had paid for and had earned their visas.

title : Syrian Christian Refugees In Turkey Find No Rest from Muslim Persecution, Extremist Terror
summary : It's been said that Turkey has taken in about half of all of the Syrians who have fled to their country due to the civil war. As of last year, Turkey has received a total of 1.9 million refugees. Turkey is typically the first choice of Syrian families who feel that they must flee because it is right on Syria's border. But for the 45,000 Syrian Christians who have reportedly chosen Turkey, life is only slightly better at best.

title : Ted Cruz Believes Jesus Christ Can Still Fix America's Broken Political System, Skewed Values
summary : Ted Cruz is apparently not in agreement with those who would say that, "God isn't fixing this." The slam was originally aimed at those who were offering prayers in conjunction to San Bernardino and their families. But it is interesting that the Christian rock band, The Newsboys, just happens to have a song called, "God's Not Dead," that Cruz is meeting with several Evangelical leaders over the next two days who will apparently be supporting his campaign, and that the Newsboys will be playing as part of a rally at the meeting's conclusion. The meeting is expected to host about 300 Christian leaders and financial backers.

title : Persecuted Syrian Christians Avoid Refugee Camps, Fear Muslim Attacks
summary : Immigration has been a hot debate topic in Washington DC, and even among 2016 presidential contenders. Many republicans have argued that since the Paris attacks, all Syrian immigrants should be banned from the US. The debate has been intense enough that it could even bring on a government shutdown when the government spending bill comes up for a vote next month. The irony here is that the very ones that are supposed to be getting the protection are often too fearful to accept it.
