Thank you for posting this picture. A great example of what kind but naive people are really like.
I remember seeing other similar pictures online back then - during the Syria’s refugee crisis.
But... things have changed dramatically in Europe these days...
Most of those who displayed their innocence back then have turned into anti-immigration fundamentalists. They have had enough of the abuse. They feel betrayed by all the violence, the rape, the burning cars and the killings some of these immigrants have brought with them.
Europe is awakening to a very dangerous world. And they are just starting to adapt and react. Good. But difficult times ahead.

College girl in the 1980s I saw on local TV news.
Wearing a Kafiyah Arab scarf on campus.
“Are you making a statement with your scarf?”
Girl: “Well, I don’t really know what the scarf means but I think it has something to do with wanting peace in the middle east and I always want peace.”
She’s probably on a city council in Portland or San Francisco if not in Congress by now.
