Answer 1

Favorite Answer

"Really, how interesting, may I ask you some questions about what is going on in your country? Get the view of someone on the ground?"

That's what went through my head.

Answer 2

Anyone who is not in politics over there or some radical group is just trying to survive and I think the radicals are the minority no matter what the media says. They have Schools parks homes recreation culture and people just having normal relationships. I feel it is the government and politically motivated groups that make the situation bad on both sides.

I think a lot of them are probably really nice people.

Answer 3

What flashed in my mind was dusty desert region and out door markets, admittedly that's more Syria than a Syrian and tbh I have no idea if that is an accurate depiction but it is what popped into my mind.

Answer 4

I think about how sad the conflict in Syria is, and hope it eventually ends for the best. I also think they may just possibly be a refugee. That's about it.

Answer 5

Are you always so Syrian or do you have a bit of a sense of humor too?

Answer 6

First thing that went through my head?

"Hopefully the region will settle down and be safe for me to visit sometime soon".

Answer 7

Maple syrup.

No seriously, that's the first thing I think of.

Answer 8

The futility of war.

Answer 9

what are you doing here? you should be in Syria.

Source(s): that's what runs through my head when i see a military age able bodied man from some allahuakbar country seeking refuge in Europe only to turn into a radical few years later.
