    I don´t understand them. They leave their home because its dangerous, yet they are still complaining in safety how boring and strange everything is. They want education for their children but still want to go back to Syria. They live in a safe village with a nice people, but still want to go into a bigger city. They live in germany and aren´t even bothering about integrating and trying out the culture, instead they buy probably most of their groceries in a shop of the islamic center. Humans with such a mindset will never find happiness anywhere, always more and more.

      if you live in the USA, UK or Canada etc. and your home...., which you were born and raised in and had everything you loved, suddenly became a fucking wasteland/warzone. how would you feel? for a second imagine leaving the comfort of your home, AC, TV, food, belongings behind and go to a foreign land for safe haven. and then multiply the difficulty of the journey and zero chances of survival by a thousand, that's what these refugees have been through. just think about this and picture your parents and siblings with you and having to look after them and make sure they're safe and avoid bullets, bomb blasts on the way to the smuggling boat, knowing full well, the damn thing could sink(overweight) and take you and your family with it and if you're lucky enough to reach there, imagine being sent back to the now hell hole you once called home.... just imagine how your life goes from bliss to utter shit storm. put your lazy ass in their shoes. try travelling hundreds of miles without food water and shelter and let's see how long you last? And in the end of it(war) and all is clear, they wanna go back home isn't stupidity, but because wouldn't you? wouldn't you want to see your home again(at least when the war finishes) and rebuild your life and leave the safe haven and stop being a refugee/burden on the host country since you've gotten back on your feet. that's what they're doing. and if you were in their shoes you'd be thinking the exact same unless you were unfortunately to die along the journey to Europe. and integrating should be the least of your worries, getting shelter and a sustainable income is vital. so bro either man up and help them or shut up.
      no offense/ nothing personal, but what you said was absolutely ignorant of what they have been through.

      Even if peace comes back to syria and they travel back, they suddenly miss their standard of living in germany. The problem i have is, that behind all those refugees who flee from war, many of them flee from "poverty" as economic refugees, effectively taking away time and space from those in real need of refuge. The family in this video sure is in need of refuge, no second guessing here, it just seems to me like, they aren´t appreciating it, to be in safety.

      +Tozo Zozo They express their gratefulness in the beginning of the video. They plan to build a life in Germany. But I'm sure the filmmakers wanted to present the situation fully and honestly, and there are a lot of drawbacks to the situation. Moving is hard for anyone, especially after a major trauma like theirs. I'm in awe that they're doing as well as they are, actually. It's going to take a lot of time to recover

      Tozo Zozo whether they miss the standards or not is up to them, and it is very likely some might stay, but any Syrian who knows his roots and holds his values will go back to syria to rebuild. the video is made that way to show thanklessness either by some sick eu propganda to get them out or just that they were sad since they miss home, family and other loved ones. i mean if my family, home and friends were destroyed, id not be a social being for at least a few years, probably go in depression and then suicide. and bookcreator is right the very fact they wanna be filmed or that they are doing as well as they are, shows progress. most Europeans are judging them without understanding them first.

      Because they never asked for it.
      They didn't choose this life. They don't know anything about the countries they have to go to, do you know how difficult it is to start over your life even when you choose to do so? In fact, they come as refugees, it feels worse than being disabled because they feel like they have no purpose to be there other than just survival. Also, humans are creature of habits. The culture and experience you grow up with, becomes everything you like and dislike. This can be change BY A CHOICE. They are forced to do so, meanwhile having the same difficulties with any human beings go through on top of that trauma of a loss of safety, home, belonging, loved ones, memories, future, hope, dreams... Their kids might have a chance in Germany to become a part of society but they need support, understanding, guidance and willingness to overcome their unfortunate destiny. Without, they are only victims of war. Being a victim is not a choice but staying as a victim requires immense amount of mental & emotional strength and resilience which some people might not have, because they were never trained to survive and thrive in such conditions or desire to do so.

      I live in Germany. None of the muslims get "use" to living in Germany. They never integrate. They are terrible people who spit on the German's kindness.
