Never punch a window out of anger, put your tongue on a frozen pipe or stick your hand in a flame.
All these things have consequences.
When a populated area of the world gets constantly bombed into dust, where do you think people are going to go?
Where would YOU go?

I'd go to a country that is similar to my own culture. So if I was muslim I wouldn't think of Europe as my first choice of destination. There are many muslim countries such as Saudi Arabia where there aren't wars, but sorry I forgot, they don't too enthusiastic about giving any real help, they instead said they will fund the building of many mosques in Europe instead!!
If I had to flee UK because of civil war which seems to be becoming more of a reality with the way things are going here, my first country of choice wouldn't be a muslim country it would be somewhere where I knew the culture was similar to mine.a reply to: masqua

It's a load of nonsense, as per usual, from Gatestone - how exactly do 'illegal immigraints' 'live off the welfare state'? The 'journalist' hasn't even done basic research, he just relies on myths to promote fear and hatred which undermines the genuine issues Europe may face from mass immigration.
Welfare states have created a government-dependent class in Europe of many people who live permanently on social benefits. These people are often Muslim. Much of the time, they are not assimilated – and often show signs of not wanting to assimilate.
Illegal Muslim migrants are likely to join the Muslims already living in Europe; and they will remain Muslim. They will live on social benefits until the bankruptcy of welfare states.

If you were living in Saudi Arabia, with wife and children, would you want to leave?
I know I would, because I fear what will happen should the Family Saud ever fall... and kingdoms do fall.
The storm which is raging throughout the ME will eventually come to SA's doorstep too. I can't fault refugees for not wanting to go there even if they could.

Most refugees from Syria are currently living in Turkey and Lebanon, with thousands more in other countries. Vastly superior to the numbers knocking on Europe's door right now.
It's quite sad that we walk into these regions, make a mess, and then complain of invasions and radicalisation once it starts affecting us. What goes around comes around.

Build a Trump wall around the ME and make Assad pay for it.

I couldn't find that? Can you copy and paste it?
All I could find was this-

Of course, "illegal" immigrants become "legal" . Then they get all the benefits other have here.
