Hijrah, or jihad by emigration, is, according to Islamic tradition, the migration or journey of Muhammad and his followers from Mecca to Yathrib, later renamed by him to Medina, in the year 622 CE. http://www.freerepublic.com/%5Ehttp://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/260019/hijrah-europe-robert-spencer
Hello all...fall dittos...
The refugees are a direct result of the conflict in which Russia wants to stop the Saudis from constructing an oil pipeline through Syria to Europe, which would compete with an Oil pipeline from Russia through Ukraine to Europe.
Both wars are to get a pipeline built.
Saudi Arabia supports anyone who fights the Assad Regime, and Russia supports the Assad Regime.
The war in Ukraine is to control the pipeline rights.
America has wanted to support the Saudi pipeline.
All effects of the wars in Syria and Ukraine are a result of these goals.
Of course, that is merely my opinion. Your mileage may differ.
If the pipeline was built, these wars would be over.
There is no other economic benefit to taking over Syria.
I did not trust the last caller. Something was not right with him.
Had a chuckle watching CNN this morning (even though my ‘give-a-damn’ on this issue got busted when some of the Euro ‘refugees’ threw food and water bottle back at some of the host-country officials).
CNN goes live to an on-scene reporterette. Supposedly, a bunch of refugees that just burst out of a containment area and were stampeding to freedom — through a dried up cornfield.
The reporterette was running through the cornfield, too, while giving the report. [Camera man/audio mic had to be close and stay up with her dashing through the cornfield.] As the report continued, may 3 or 4 different individuals [refugees?] were all that could be seen.
Later, CNN returns to this reporterette who is blabbering on about the stampede to freedom. She is now walking down a railroad track. One middle-aged woman with a bundle on her back was a few steps ahead of the reporterette. No other ‘refugees’ could be seen.

From the first this looked staged for the benefit of the bleeding-heart Libs.
