In their hurry to makeover the Muslim refugees in Joseph and Mary’s image, they forgot the most important aspect of His coming… as the King of the heavenly domain He brings to earth
Joseph and Mary’s Egyptian sojourn, carrying their young son with them, is not a fitting comparison to the plight of today’s Middle East “migrants” as they have been dubbed.

These unfortunates are not the targets of the conflagration, they are mostly bystanders caught in the middle of a political tug-of-war.
