Addressing the migrant crisis

Since the start of the Syrian Civil War, many people have fled Syria and migrated into Europe, North America, and other regions. This has given many Right wing movements the green light to target a new enemy they perceive to be a threat to western society.

Many Right wingers claim the Muslim refugees are barbarians, rapist, terrorist, uncivilised and many other negative accusations. Since 2015, there have been criminal and terrorist activities happening in Europe. Most Right-wingers claim the Muslim refugees are responsible for these atrocities.

They do have a good argumental point. In most Muslims nations, men are considered to be the hegemons who control society and women tend to be a servant figure. They are deeply devoted to their religion and practice atrocities that in most western nations would be considered illegal. Some of these Syrian refugees have multiple wives and even are married to minors below the age of 18.

Several weeks ago, I interviewed Right-wing activists who are deeply anti-Muslims. They claim all Muslims are bad. However, this isn't really true.

It's disturbing that most secular and democratic figures who used to govern some of these Middle Eastern countries are either dead or were forced to flee their home country.

During the 1920’s, Afghanistan used to have a queen who would encourage Muslim women to stop wearing hijabs and start bringing prosperity. Iran used to have democratic figures who would encourage all Iranians to get an education in order to bring prosperity to Iran.

Sadly, the only current Muslim nation that is still secular and embraces some western tradition is Turkey. They might have their own problems, but it's much more democratic and opportunistic compare to any other Muslim nation.

I know journalist colleagues who work in Lebanon. They claim all male figures make more money, they all work in management and women tend to be discriminated and are expected to be lower-ranking figures.

When I interviewed Right-wingers to discuss the topic on the migration crisis, they claim all Muslims are evil. They believe the refugees want to invade Europe to spread their evilness and destroy conservative values.

Most Right-wingers I interviewed could not even answer where this extremist originated, they only assume all Muslims are evil.

When I asked them the role Saudi Arabia had in destroying Muslim culture and society, they were clueless. When I asked them about the Wahhabi mosques the Saudis want to build across Europe, they couldn’t provide an answer. When I asked them about the sectarian wars the Saudis have been promoting for decades, they were speechless.

The Saudis have already built some Wahhabi mosques in Sweden, Belgium and other western nations. They won’t accept any refugees, but they are willing to spread their poison ideas by building Wahhabi mosque and spreading their propaganda messages. They are also the ones who armed these Islamic groups that launch guerrilla warfares. 

The refugee crisis could have many negative effects in changing society and the political spectrum. Many far Right wingers are using fear to advocate why they should be elected in order to form a police state. They claim all Muslims are dangerous to society and should be vetted. 

This migrant crisis should be addressed, if this problem is not address, these Right wingers will use their fear strategy in winning elections and overthrow democratic values. 

The other problem occurring is that these refugees are fleeing the Middle East to escape from the war zones. However, they are not fleeing to a Gulf State country or Muslim country. They are all fleeing to Europe. They don’t want to remain in their home country.

There are solutions that could end the refugee's crisis and encourage Muslims to resettle to their home country.

This crisis could be ended  if the Middle East were to be rebuild. If democratic, secular and socialist ideas were to return to the Middle East, the region could become more stable and prosperous. Many Muslim nations have lost their old believes in democracy, freedom, equality, secularism and progression.

In the past, most Muslims believed in equality, democracy, and progression. Women used to work in government sectors forming laws regarding healthcare, education, welfare and equality. They were also professors, engineers and scientists.

If a Muslim country like Iraq were to have women, secularist and democrats in government, they could end the sectarian conflicts and bring back prosperity, progression, and equality. Also, if a Muslim country like Iraq were to elect a female progressive president or prime minister, it would destroy the fundamentalist myth that women are inferior.

For decades, the Saudis have popularised the myth that women are inferior. They used to get upset when they would see women working in government sectors and receive equality and opportunities in places like Iran and South Yemen.

Bringing back many of the traditional progression ideas and democracy could encourage many refugees that there are many opportunities and prosperity they could accomplish in their home countries.

The Middle East used to be a destination that would attract many westerners for tourism and migration. I have met many non-Iranians who used to live in Iran prior to the revolution. They claim prior to the revolution, living in Iran was equivalent to living in Italy or France.

Rebuilding Middle Eastern society would have many positive effects in making more people become secular, progressive and more pro-westerners. This strategy successfully worked in Germany. After the war ended in 1945, the country was literally destroyed and the humanitarian aid helped rebuild their infrastructure. Some people who fled the country after the war decided to resettle back to Western Germany to enjoy a new life.

Some of these war-torn Middle Eastern nations should receive the same humanitarian aid that Germany had after the war. These strategies have many positive impacts of ending conflicts, improving human rights,  guaranteeing stability, bringing progression and opportunities for all people.
