Actually, in a way it shouldn't be religious. However, if you look at refugees in the Middle East, you see that the most vulnerable are converted Muslims. They are more vulnerable than Christians or Yazidis. Atheists are more vulnerable. Then you have the Yazidis, then Mandaeans—it's a small group that follows John the Baptist—and then Christians. Those are the most vulnerable.
Definitely those groups, when the war or the crisis is settled, are the people who cannot go back, cannot be repatriated. They will be looking to move somewhere else—Canada, Sweden, the U.S., or Australia—and they will probably be easier to resettle and integrate into a society than those whose hearts are still back in the region.
At the end of the day, yes, I am a Canadian who is originally from Iraq, but my loyalty is to Canada, and it should be to Canada. It shouldn't be somewhere else.
We really should be looking to help those people who want to come here and their heart is here, not somewhere else.
