How Unsafe Is It There ?

[bazwillrun]

Syria that is ......the guy who sadly lost his family and seemed to have no problems in going back to Syria for the funeral, which judging by all the pics i saw yesterday was a "mass media event".

Doesnt seem that unsafe where that all took place, he had no trouble getting back there, so whats going on here...

why cant the "international community" get together and set up safe buffer zones there in Syria protected by a military presence ?...

[-SharonA-]

Funny I thought that too! I was thinking why did he go back for the funeral.
Does not make sense.

[bazwillrun]

and just in case anybody says anything Im not in any way belittling or trying to negate the seriousness of his loss, just the situation as posited....i know how expert some on here are at twisting and distorting things...

[retrocop]

baz
I understand exactly what you are saying. I am sure a lot more of us find this situation more than bizarre!!!

[-SharonA-]

And according to the Daily Mirror, he is now staying in Syria!!!!!!

Also on a letter somebody wrote in a newspaper from Canada. They said their work colleague visits Syria every year to see her family. The letter writer said, when questioning her colleague about her safety, she said where she visits in Syria there are no problems.

You can return to parts of Syria, but to what? The once thriving city of Aleppo now doesn't have single usable building for example, so it's no use to anyone including the so-called IS who may well end up as conqueror's of a land of nothing, Islamic militants have been doing this kind of destruction for centuries with modern weaponry making their task so much easier.

//IS who may well end up as conqueror's of a land of nothing, //

and yet the mobile phone, 3g and internet service seems to carry on working - how can that be? is there a multinational comms company prepared to unprinciple itself to do business with ISIS? or are ISIS running and maintaining it it themselves? how, and using resources from which unprincipled hardware company?

Strange indeed.
His sister in Canada said in an interview that she sent him money, as he and his family have been living and working in Turkey for the past 3 years.

He told her he wanted to go to the UK, as he had no teeth, and he could have new ones for free there!

Very odd story.

[NellieMay]

As far as I am concerned he is responsible for the death of his children. They were safe in Turkey, no threat to their lives and he decided to risk their lives by putting them in an overcrowded rubber boat to cross a sea at night. He put himself first.

Some letter writers in newspapers have pointed out that most of the people who want so desperately to get to Europe seem to be young men. Not many women and children, apparently. Are these young men running away from the possibility of being forcibly recruited by the IS?

[NellieMay]

Who knows? Some may even be IS?

[Samuraisan]

They certainly are going to put a strain on the health services in the countries they end up in. I have seen photos of people in wheelchairs, that one who was interviewed with a neckbrace who said he had a chronic health problem and so on. What are they going to do with them when they reach Austria and Germany ? Let them loose ? Or have they got refugee camps ready ?

[jourdain2]

My daughter was angry with me last night for my opinion that this man should be prosecuted for homicide! He is responsible for the deaths of his family, no one else. Interestingly, every one I have spoken to today has shared my view. He now intends to stay in Syria, can't be that bad for him. Am I being cynical in thinking he may just want to exploit the situation to his benefit? (media frenzy etc. could be profitable) I may be, of course, and he probably really is devastated about losing his sons through his own cupidity and stupidity.

An individual will survive in a different way to a parent wanting to care for and achieve the best for their family. In Islam like in many Abrahamic faiths great emphasis is placed on being buried in the ancestral homeland if possible. This bloke strikes me as being totally stuffed and at the end of it, having lost all he existed for. So he's gone home, probably to die in the not to distant future. Will that make you happier? Which bit of this story makes you happier? Cos none of it makes me happy, or puzzled, or resentlful.

@mosaic

shame you didnt read and understand the OP properly...never mind, you add your slant to it if it makes you happy...

[Mosaic]

Hi Baz! Hope your innate bigotry is thriving, and if in need the www is supplying you with sufficient examples to sneer at!

[bazwillrun]

oh dear another of ABs sad lefties that doesnt like being answered back....

[Retrochic]

well I totally agree with mosiac's opinion on this subject and i'm not Leftist I support UKIP!

[Togo]

baz. Get it. The vast majority of these 'displaced immigrants' are chancers who sense the weak liberal attitude of Europe as a functioning organisation and know that the time is ripe to invade.
