Refugees Buying One-Way Tickets Home After Finding Germany Intolerable
Los Angeles Times ^ | 3-1-2016 | Erik Kirschbaum

"With a one-way ticket home to Iraq in his hands and seven months' worth of frustration over intransigent German bureaucracy in his heart, Gazwan Abdulhasen Abdulla gave up on his dreams of a better life in Europe."

"I wanted to live in peace with my family as far away from war as possible," said Abdulla, a 37-year-old who had worked as a truck driver in Iraq. "But what I've seen in Europe is not what I dreamed about. It's not what [the smugglers] told me it would be.

"The food was terrible, so disgusting that not even animals should be fed it. They made us sleep in these cold, empty buildings and when someone said they were sick, they just ignored us. You could feel it everywhere that Germans looked down at us like we were bums. I miss my family and can't wait to get home."

Germans looked down at us like we were bums.

Now there’s a thought. Talk about whiplash.

If German based food is considered offensive, I wonder how they would have relished British cuisine? <;^)

Sort of a personal taste thing wouldn’t you agree? Also, I said I MIGHT believe it. Just when I hear “german food” 1st thing comes to mind is sauerkraut. If you check post 55 you’ll see there is something I like.

Apologies if I offended you in some way.

Not offended at all, so no apology required. Additionally, there would be plenty of food more suitable to a Middle Eastern palate available there as there have been Turkish 'gastarbeitern' (guest workers) within what would have been West Germany, back in the day, for literally decades (almost half a century, in fact.)

These Turkish folk have made an imprint on Germany I assure you...

Yes, I know. I’ve been there.

As a civilian, not while I was in the military, we were on a job for the German government back in 2000.

We ate lunch on the German air base, what would probably be the equivalent of the NCO Club on a US base.

We could speak a little German, enough to read a menu, and we came across ‘Hamburger Schnitzel’ as a lunch item.

We asked each other, “What is a ‘Hamburger Schnitzel’?”

One guy said, “I guess it’s a schnitzel with hamburger in it.”

The waiter, suddenly broke in to the discussion, in typical proud German fashion, and exclaimed, in English to our surprise, “Zer iz NO HAMBURGER IN OUR SCHNITZELS!”

Shocked, we asked, “Then what is it?”

He explained to us that ‘Hamburger Schnitzel’ simply meant that it was a schnitzel served in the way of Hamburg cuisine, meaning that it has a fried egg on top!

Just as Wiener Schnitzel means a schnitzel served in the way of Vienna cuisine....................

And a Jaeger-Schnitzel does NOT contain hunters! :-)

Yes, a 37 year old male refugee who went to Germany is returning: “eager to be back with his wife and four small children”. So he left his wife and children in a war zone while he went off to live in central Europe?

Why would any man leave his wife and kids in a crisis situation where presumably they could be killed in enemy action or by starvation/disease while he goes off to Germany? (Which is hardly the closest safe country.) The chance of his family being able to hike across the Middle East and Europe without him, especially after tougher border controls have been implemented, is remote.

I wonder how many of these refugee males all abandoned their homeland and their families, so they could be “safe” in the EU’s largest single economy? The stated reason simply does not make any sense.

If a terrorist group or foreign country invaded the USA I know that the vast majority of American men from the ages of 18-50 would never leave their wives and children to get to safety and let someone else deal with it. We would stay with our families to protect them if they were in danger, or send our families away to safety, while we fight the enemy. What the Hell is wrong with these guys?
