Islam in Spain

CURRENTLY SPAIN NOT THE GO-TO DESTINATION FOR SYRIAN REFUGEES…….

It’s a terrible thing being an actual refugee, but there is no reason for the West to accept these people in light of Islam’s conquest manifests destiny and that the Arabs are swimming in oil revenues. Let them set up camps for them in the region, where the food is of their liking, the climate and not too far away from their former homes.

Why Spain is not an option for Syrian refugees seeking a new life

Few of the growing numbers of people fleeing war intend to stay in the country

A lack of opportunities and the long waits for asylum requests are among reasons cited

Hared and Dareen Al Sadi are exhausted. A year ago, the Syrian couple and their two-and-half-year old boy, Ubeid, tried to cross the Mediterranean by boat, but had to turn back; they then made their way to Melilla, the Spanish enclave in Morocco. That was 20 days ago. Now they are waiting for permission to cross the Strait of Gibraltar into Spain proper, from where they will make their way on to northern Europe.

Growing numbers of Syrians fleeing the conflict in their country are now making the same journey. So far this year, more than 3,000 Syrians have requested asylum from the Spanish authorities in Melilla. Last year, Spain accepted all of the 1,681 Syrians who asked for admission; but during the same period, Germany received almost 24,000 asylum requests, and Sweden more than 16,000.

We have money, we just want our boy to be able to go to school without a bomb falling on his head”

Spain is clearly not the destination of choice for these war refugees, but many now have little choice as the situation in their home country becomes more desperate, and crossing by sea increasingly dangerous. Only 130 Syrians chose to resettle in Spain last year: there are much larger communities in Germany, France and other northern European nations, which have offered refugees more of a welcome. Spain has rejected the European Commission’s proposal for EU member states to take up to 20,000 Syrians. The majority of those fleeing the civil war, four million people, are currently in Lebanon, Jordan and Turkey.

But Spain is likely to have to take more and more Syrian refugees under the so-called Dublin Regulations, which require refugees to apply for asylum in the first European country they enter. Last year, Spain received just over 5,000 requests, mainly from Germany, Switzerland and Sweden, from refugees who had made their first European stop on Spanish shores.
