CNN did a story this morning of thousands of muslims fleeing their country from ISIS terrorist for a better life in Greece. On the surface, this could become a beautiful story such as ours of families fleeing their country for a better life elsewhere.....sadly, this will end as most migration stories end these days....of countries so overwhelmed by their own adversities and hardships, often shun these people creating the discriminating atmostphere that helps create the bias and anger, that so many terrorist group prey upon and often recruit.
I will forever wonder why so many flee a country of such wealth and beauty, but instead unite and fight for it.
Since the beginning of 2015, more than 35,000 refugees and migrants have crossed the Mediterranean Sea -- 23,500 have landed in Italy and more than 12,000 in Greece, according to the United Nations High Commission on Human Rights. While those numbers sound high, they were even higher the previous year. In 2014, approximately 219,000 refugees and migrants sailed across the Mediterranean, with most having to be rescued by the Italian Navy, Coast Guard or merchant ships, the UNCHR said. It is estimated that 3,500 people in 2014 died at sea.
