Poor family!! Truly heartbreaking.. Syria should feel ashamed of treating these good people so badly!

I don't like to generalize, but I often hear Muslims saying that they like to help each other. But in practical matters such as these, you can see how bad Syrians are taking care of their Muslim "brothers".

I hope this family will find a way to my country (The Netherlands) because I'm sure they will receive much better care here! Even though most Dutch are not Muslims and in fact atheists...

My prayers to this family.

@EmperorAtahualpa -------------------- You're ignorant and lier, Syrian State support Iraqis refugees, victims of US occupation and sectarian terrorism In Iraq . So Syrians welcomed their Arab brothers and sisters giving them shelters and providing health and education services. Syria is not a rich country, but help Iraqis in spite its economic problems. USA is ashamed! USA caused Iraqi's tragedy. So invadors (incluiding Holland) should give money to their Iraqi victims!!!

i have 2 admit, his wife is really hot

however, i feel very sorry for him and his condition

is it karma due 2 something he did bad in his past life or if he is talking truth that he helped other ppl, then y heez in such a condition??

personally, looking at his face, he doesnt seem so innocent---he must had did something bad 2 some1

however, there r many iraqeez in worse situation in neighboring arab countreez---some r forced 2 pimp their young beautiful wives or daughterz

@EmperorAtahualpa I wish if I can explain to you the condition of the Syrian people because the Middle east conflict is affecting every country & thanks to NATO & their bombing those countries to create more problems

for these poor people in order to steal their oil for the European & the American Corporations .

I highly recommend that people support organisations such as Refugees International, who actually make a difference to people's lives.
