I heard one refugee in an interview say in English: "No one in this group(there were between 100 and 1000 people there) has not lost a relative to ISIS."
Think about what that means for a moment.
NO one in that crowd of 100 to 1000 has NOT lost one or more relatives to ISIS.
How much pain and suffering does that bring into the group?
Have you ever lost a close relative?
Do you remember what that did to your life?
PTSD. Temporary or permanent comes from each close death to you.
So, these people are survivors. And even traveling to a new country might bring a new form of PTSD.
I have traveled the world and I've got to tell you, going to India in 1985 was like going to another planet if you went out in the country among people who didn't have electricity and walked around or rode horse carts or had water buffalo pulled carts or carts pulled by Camels. They thought I and my family were like UFOS too after growing up in their reality without learning to read or going to school at all.
Going to Europe for the first time for most of these people is going to blow their minds in unforeseen ways. IF they didn't have PTSD before they will now so great are the cultural differences now.
But, they might like all the Secular Christian freedom and prosper from it too and benefit themselves and all Europeans.
(If they can get beyond the PTSD they have experienced in the middle East and traveling to Europe).
