[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This problem will [b]overwhelm Europe and change it forever.[/b]  I suspect an increasing number of them are economic migrants and not refugees, but they'll all claim to be victims of wartime persecution and torture.  And no one will have papers. What will Europe do? I think Germany needs to quickly determine who are Not refugees and send them home very publicly to try and prompt a pause in this.  It's so telling that they all want to go to the wealthiest nations and not just a safe place. The U.S. Needs to pay attention and our citizens need to be vocal about what we will and will not accept as a nation. I think Trump is a loon but this European migrant crisis plays right into his campaign. [/quote]

that is IS's plan.  This is stealth Jihad.  I'm sure probably 99.9% of the refugees are just seeking safety for themselves and their families and have no idea they are being used as pawns by IS.  It's so so sad.  I don't know of a solution though, and the influx of immigrants is going to change the host countries.  More needs to be done to convince (or demand) that othe Muslim nations take on these refugees.  The most wealthy Muslim countries are refusing, saying it's a security risk for their country.  Don't you think it's even more of a "security risk" for the western countries taking in the refugees? [/quote]

I agree. [/quote]

Xenophobic nonsense. IS is run by 23 year olds who have no "plan" beyond the middle east version of flashing " bling" and blowing things up and , if their "plan" is to dilute the " Christian nature of Europe" , it seems that , at least in your case, there is little real Christianity left ( at least that Christ would recognize)

Here are the facts:

1)  Why mostly men, so few children ? : In any war, 50% of the casualties are children under the age of 5. This is because their head to body surface area makes them more vulnerable to brain blunt force trauma and their abdomen is more vulnerable to shock force trauma. Drop a bomb on a house, that is who dies.    Add to that that , in Syria, Assad has been using cluster bombs and chemical weapons, which dissproportionally affect children due to their airway being more vulnerable to gas and their tendency to pick up ordinance unknowingly.  As Syria has been at war for 4 years and those dying in greater numbers have been children under the age of 5 AND the birth rate has gone down ( malnourished women don't ovulate) that should answer your question. . Those who were 5 at start of conflict are now 9 and are likely out there trying to earn enough to feed their family, but too young to travel alone to the EU.

2) Old people just want to die in their homes in their own land and won't budge

3) In middle east culture, young women take care of their parents ( the old people) , unless they have a young child they are trying to get to safety ( I think you may have seen a few in photos)

4) why are the men leaving / why don't they stay and fight ? ( this statement is amazingly uninformed) 
    The learning curve is pretty steep at this point, but here is a link: [url]http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/mar/12/syrias-war-80-in-poverty-life-expectancy-cut-by-20-years-200bn-lost[/url]

In short, they have ben fighting, and fighting and fighting with , it seems, weapons we supplied or that we manufactured her at home in the US and allowed weapons traders to sell on the open market. Yes, lots of US weapons dealers making a fortune gleefully in Syria and Iraq right now.

These people are refugees, their country needs to be stabilized or this is just the tip of the ice berg

Syria has been at war for 4 years, 80% of its population has lost its only means to obtain food and clean drinking water. Its economy is non-existant. Its President has been bombing its peopel for 4 years and only  Iraq for 10 and Afghanistan for 12 . 14 years ago, Europe removed its national borders. [/quote]
