(101,390 posts)At least Netanyahu had talked about European Jews moving to Israel. You haven't attempted to say which parts of Europe, or which communities in Europe, will be involved in this 'forced migration', or where ISIS comes into it. You may as well be saying 'ebola could start a forced migration in Europe' for all the sense it makes.

(29,322 posts)There has been a refugee crisis in Iraq for years but not many places for them to go. Turkey is just about the neutral state taking in refugees, Shias have fled to Iran. A lot of the Iraq Shia refugees that fled to Syria fled back to Iraq after the Syrian civil war. Sunnis, many have fled to Saudi Arabia if not Turkey because it offers safety from Shia militias. Jordan & Egypt have been a major destination for Iraqi refugees. A very low number of Iraqis returned until the Syrian civil war which I already mentioned
Many Iraqis have fled to Kosovo years ago, Iraqis were recently reported as one of the groups Serbia reported troubles regarding the mass exodus from Kosovo to the EU in Hungary. Sweden has been the leading European country in accepting Iraqi refugees.

Sweden wants EU to help with Iraq refugees
21 February 2007
For concise and recent immigration information watch our news.

Sweden, known for liberal asylum policies, has seen a surge of refugees from war-torn Iraq in the last year. They are urging the European Union to help shoulder the burden by easing asylum restrictions across the bloc.
According to Migration Minister Tobias Billstrom and EU Affairs Minister Cecilia Malmstrom, Sweden currently accepts more than half of all asylum applications from Iraqis in Europe.
"Sweden can help, but we can't help everybody," they said in a local newspaper.
In 2006, more than 9,000 Iraqis fled their country and came to Sweden seeking shelter, a four times increase over 2005. Sweden's immigration authority expects up to 40,000 Iraqis seeking asylum in 2007.
The Swedish center-right government has refrained from clamping down on immigration, unlike other EU countries. Between 80% and 90% of Iraqi asylum requests were approved in 2006.
An estimated 79,200 Iraqis call Sweden their home, making them the second only to Finnish immigrants. Many Iraqis fled to Sweden during the 90's as well. Current refugees like Sweden because many of their relatives are there and because of the generous refugee policies.

Sweden seems like a great country.

Do you "understand" the sound of rain cascading down a cliff?
In order to find meaning, it must be there. To suppose that the physical forces of nature have a meaning to "understand" is to place yourself outside of the Universe. As a part of the Universe, you can "understand" it no more than your toe can "understand" your heart.
