(CNSNews.com) - President Barack Obama, speaking from the G20 Summit in Turkey on Monday, said it was shameful that some political leaders are suggesting the U.S. should only admit Christian and not Muslim Syrian refugees.
When I hear folks say that, well maybe we should just admit the Christians but not the Muslims, when I hear political leaders suggesting that there would be a religious test for which a person whos fleeing from a war torn country is admitted, when some of the those folks themselves come from families who benefited from protection when they were fleeing political persecution, thats shameful, Obama said.

Also in the article: Obama said it is important that those in leadership, particularly those who have a platform and can be heard not to fall into that trap, not to feed that dark impulse inside of us.
