Exactly 100 days after Ayad Mohammed left his native Iraq to begin a better life in Germany, he packs his backpack in a refugee hostel in a forested area of the Swabian Jura mountains in southern Germany and begins his journey back home.
His hostel is on a hill, surrounded by spruce and beech trees. The air smells like moss, and if you're quiet you can hear the goldfinches warbling. The only thing Mohammed is thinking about is that he wants to get out of there.
Three days later, he sits in a travel agency in a shopping arcade in Berlin's Kreuzberg neighborhood. The agency specializes in flights to the Kurdistan region. The bill for a direct flight from Berlin's Tegel Airport to Erbil, Iraq, is in his pocket -- a letter-sized piece of paper, with the letterhead of Iraqi Airways, which represents the end of a dream.
Mohammed is a thin 27-year-old man with sad black eyes. He's not a criminal who came to Germany to abuse women, nor an electrical engineer waiting to launch his first startup. He's a normal man, a refugee in Germany. This is his story.
"I had such hopes for (German Chancellor) Angela Merkel." He pronounces the chancellor's name like the English word "angel."
The Germany he experienced in his 100 days, says Mohammed, had an average temperature of just above zero degrees Celsius (32°F), with frequently drizzly weather and no leaves on the trees. All in all, he thought it was an attractive country. The Germans he encountered in the streets smiled, he says. He saw blonde hair for the first time, and concluded that German women are very athletic. He never heard the abbreviation AfD -- three letters that stand for Alternative for Germany, an anti-immigration political party.

I think we’re supposed to hang our heads in shame as we read this story.
And he did it all on the back of the working people. Millions just like him are doing it every day. islam has millions more just like him.
Is he? What proof do we have of that?
We see massive mobs of rapists thugs.
This guy isn't one of them? He wouldn't be one of them? How do we know that?
These sob stories are plentiful, but the rape stories are more plentiful.
Call me wrong-headed, but I say error on the side of safety for Europe's women, and the rest of the populace as well.
Even the good ones will be very happy to have sharia law supersede the laws of the land.
To hell with that.
Don’t fuching care. No one has a right to go into any other country. This is just propaganda to counter the overwhelming reality of what thse muslims are all about.
I reject white guilt.
I reject microagression.
I reject any and all attempts to frame me for others problems in countries and governments and societies I have nothing to do with.
Things in Iraq must not be so bad after all.
HEY MO!
Take your goat and GTFO!
Back to the sandpit where he will be happier.
He thought the streets were paved with 12 year old boys just there for the taking.
What a pathetic human being.
“He saw postings by friends on Facebook claiming that refugees in Germany received money and apartments.”
This is a common rumor that has been fomenting the rise in migrants. Many are then very angry that this is not the case when they get to Germany. Germany has done little PR to explain the truth of the situation. Migrants who are not coming from Syria... buy roundtrip tickets to turkey, destroy their ID’s and passed into Germany as Syrian refugees. Only 1/3 of the Migrants were families with children, the rest were single men. Many also claimed to be underage... that way it’s impossible to send them back. It’s also quite difficult to send anyone without identification papers back to their country of origin. Their own countries won’t take them. This is all such a mess, and quite depressing for me to read day in day out.
It sounds like the refugees weren’t actually fleeing anything, just part of a politically orchestrated Trojan horse.
Donald Trump: Syrian refugees a 'Trojan horse'
Except being though that Angela Merkel invited them to come.
When asked why he didn’t attend the German lessons more often, he replies that he didn’t want to. “I didn’t have a friend to go with me,” he adds.
Those racist Germans made the weather cold ON PURPOSE!
I can’t bring myself to apologize for our big TREES here.
The Muslims from the desert areas are SCARED OF TREES; &
we sure don’t intend to cut down all our trees for their
sensibilities except when we need firewood. - Most times
storm winds blow over a few trees every year or so, which
we cut up and use in our woodstove in the winter. - We
also have vipers out here on our river which they don’t
like & which, ironically don’t like them either!
Three Rejects !
You’re OUT !
