Europe is failing the most vulnerable refugees by focusing its sympathy on the migrants crossing its borders rather than those left behind, Canon Andrew White has said. In a passionate statement, he added: “the wrong people are at the front of the queue.”
Until November last year Canon White, better known as the ‘Vicar of Baghdad’, was Chaplain of St. George’s Church in Baghdad, the only Anglican Church in Iraq. He was eventually forced to leave at the behest of the Archbishop of Canterbury following numerous death threats from ISIS militants, and now works as the founding and current President of the Foundation for Relief and Reconciliation in the Middle East (FRRME).
In a scathing statement, Canon White has now slammed Europe for its response to the migrant crisis. He says it is wrong to focus resources on those already in Europe, when those in real need are the ones left behind.
“I am disappointed by Europe’s response to the refugee crisis,” he said “Not enough is being done to help the most vulnerable, particularly those who have fled religious persecution.
“My charity is providing food, shelter and medicine for hundreds of Iraqi refugee families who have fled ISIS and are now in Jordan. Some have walked across the desert to find safety, with little more than the clothes on their backs.
“When I see angry young men clashing with border police in Hungary and demanding to be let into other EU countries, I feel that the wrong people are at the front of the queue.

Europe is being invaded by these “young men” who have no jobs but lots of entitlement in their attitude. They will neither respect the laws of the nations who welcome them nor prove to be stable citizens. It is interesting that once again these “refugees” demonstrate what we often see in Muslim nations – the men hide behind their women when violence happens in their own nation but leave their women behind to face that violence at the first chance they have to leave. America will soon be facing the same type of invasion when those thousands of Syrian refugees arrive here.
As far as the Bishop of Baghdad is concerned, the Western Christian church really doesn’t know what to do with this man’s courageous witness while he was in Baghdad or by his courageous statements now. Western Christian leaders are still more worried about offending the Muslim thugs who are killing our own people rather than acknowledging their genocide of Christians wherever Islam is the dominant faith.
