Learned Lessons From Refugee Life

The overall objective of this article is to save the lives of some Afghan and other refugees and it also serves as a warning for the new comers and an immigration policy revision note for all European countries.

Newly arrived refugee: You’ve been living 20 years in European countries and you have come a long journey travelling many different countries to reach Europe. You have traveled mostly on foot. You met so many new people from different cultures. And I am a new comer; give me some useful advice from what you have learnt so far. When I was in Afghanistan I had a totally different picture of Europe in my mind but when I visited Europe, Europe is totally different  than what I thought. My grandfather was telling me not to go to Europe but I did not listen to him. He told me that almost everyone who went to Europe got crazy or got a kind of sickness or other health problems , he gave many examples of families and friends both men and women. He told me about women who lost their breasts due to breast cancer and men who died there because of other diseases and some other guys who had returned in a very bad mental status. But I did not believe and I did not listen to him. Now I feel that there is something wrong with the European environment, what is it that I don’t know?

Old wise man: Well, Europe has turned into one of the most anti-Islam and anti-Muslim environments. Mostly those who newly arrive here don’t know the situation. They are very naïve and very vulnerable to different kinds of risks. They trust mostly the wrong guys. They go to the wrong doctors or they fell in the traps of the racists. Wrong doctors take out the healthy tooth instead of the decayed one.

There are different kinds of racist groups in Europe, some of them are extremists and some of them only hate Muslims. Make sure you will not fall in their trap. They have different programs like “Hunting Muslims for the Jesus” or “Hunting Muslims for the Moses”. If you fall into those traps, then you are gone, may God bless you. But they don’t disagree in one common idea which prevails; they all think “Muslims are the enemies of Christians”. They all agree upon this idea and they say it very loudly and proudly. Some newcomers are victims of not knowing all these problems and they happily go to them and become a victim of their traps. No matter what kind of Muslims you are, you are already considered an enemy. No matter if you love Jesus or not. No matter you love Christians or not, they don’t care as far as they are certain that you are a Muslim or coming from an Islamic country. I have seen Hindus being in trouble because they came from a country which has got an Islamic name on it.

In the language class, they will ask you different questions, make sure you answer them correctly; otherwise the teacher might be a racist and will consider you as an extremist. For example if they ask you “Do you drink alcohol?” you should reply loudly “Yes sir, I like it very much, I have been drinking since the first day I came here, I am drunk right now, I have a good relationship with alcohol, and I am fully integrated to your society, sir”.

If they start to say in the class that “Muslim ladies should not cover their hairs and heads with a scarf” you should not argue there about human rights. They are not tolerant to criticism. There was once an intelligent boy who counter argued this matter and asked the lady teacher a question and said “Madam, it is not good to keep yourself busy with what other people wear, suppose you go to another country and the people start saying to you that you don’t have to wear your panties, how would you feel if they come and check every day whether you have worn it or not?”.

The teacher considered him as an extremist and reported to some other people and the boy disappeared and we never saw him again.

Make sure you don’t do such counter arguments. No criticism, no counter arguments, just shut up and listen what bullshits you hear and don’t forget to clap when he or she stops, otherwise you will be considered as an impolite person.

When you get in the bus or tram, when you find a free chair and sit, it is very normal that the European person beside you will stand up and leave the chair and sit on another chair far from you. Never mind it. If they see you in the bus station, they take their purse firmly under their arm and run away, it is a common practice, don't worry about it, don’t feel bad or sad, it is symptoms of xenophobia.

Most organizations have a hidden slogan of “No Job for Muslims and Refugees” but you can’t hear it, you will only find it out when you look for a job for many years.

When you are jobless, they pay your apartment rent and 100 Euro, and exactly after one week you will receive fake bills of 500, 1000 or 2000 Euros to pay; you have to pay them no matter from where. Oh yeah, house owners! They mostly don’t have the manners and sympathy for other human beings, particularly with refugees, they trap you in every way and get your money in many different ways, and forget about all the money that you paid in advance in Europe to another person like your house / apartment owner, they will never pay it back, it is gone, instead you have to treat them nicely and ask them if you need to pay more.

Learn to be silent and don’t talk to the persons in the train or a lady in your class. If you say hello, they will shout and say “Don’t you have a girlfriend? I am married, no sex okay?” It is a common way to give out their fully loaded hatred in their hearts against immigrants or refugees who look different in their skin color or clothing styles. I call it “hate trigger shouts” to disrespect and defame another person.

Sometimes it can be a very long deceptive video recorded story made by girls mainly targeting on Muslim refugees to upload it on Facebook or internet. They may seduce you and record only your reactions to defame you. Stay away from girls and ladies. They can create troubles for you because of prejudices and hates they carry in their minds against a particular group of people.

The more you stay in Europe, the more you get to know the environment and the more you learn how difficult the environment is, the most you become cautious and preventive, the more you get scared and the more you will prefer to stay alone and close the door at yourself and hide yourself from others to avoid further troubles. After a few years, you will get to know all the people and groups around you.

You as an immigrant are supposed to be “a milking cow” for some groups and a “burden” for the others. The moment you stop giving milk to those groups, you become a burden to them too. Then what will they do with cows with no milk? They sell them to the butchers to slaughter and sell their flesh.

When you are in a refugee camp, you will never know who is a racist and who is not? Mostly those who work in the refugee camps are very racist and you have to be careful about them. Don’t eat what others give you while you are in a refugee camp, because it can be either “Pork” or “Poison”. The food and fruit in Europe are all “GMOs”. GMO means Genetically Modified Organisms and your body is reacting to it as if it is poison. Some people are very kind and they may offer you something to eat, but when you eat it, it works the same as poison for your body. Apples in Europe are not the same apples that you were eating all these years in your country. They are colored by spray, they are picked up before maturity and they are made ripe by the help of chemicals. They don’t smell and taste like the apples you ate before. When you eat them, they smell and taste like medicine. If still you want to eat it, make sure you have to peel it out otherwise you will eat “sprayed oil colors”.

Bananas are also picked up before maturity, and to make it ripe, and in order to change the color from green into yellow, they are being put in sulfur, that sulfur works as poison for human body. You may think you eat a banana, but it is not the same banana as you have eaten before. Your body and stomach may react to it as if it poison.

Europeans are used to it. Their body got used to it and they got immunity against all these things because they have been eating them since childhood, but for you, it is a big change, your body can’t accept it at once.

The oil, the tea, the coffee and even the rice … they are all different things here … your body can react to them in a very strange manner. You might have been used to drink 10 cup of back tea at home, but here the tea is much stronger than the tea in your own country, if you drink the same amount of the tea or coffee, you can’t sleep, you will get headaches and your muscles may start jumping without your control due to the high amount of tea or coffee that you have taken.

It is better to drink ordinary water instead of tea and coffee.

The rice in your country is pure and natural and organic without vitamin A, but here, it is not the same rice that you used to eat. This rice is GMO and got vitamin A in it. Eating the same amount of rice as before means an increased level of vitamin A in your body, which is totally different for your body and your body may react to it differently.

Don’t let doctors to inject you any kind of medicines. Most of refugees who go to the doctors don’t feel better when they go to the doctors here, but instead they get many other kinds of problems. Your grandfather is most probably right. The doctor may belong to the group of racists who are against Muslims and they can prescribe medicines that can make you mad or create other health problems for you. If you are a Muslim, you better find a Muslim doctor whom you can trust.

I have seen strange things happening to refugees here in Europe because they don’t know what to do and they go to those who are doing bad things to them.

You should know that immigration in Europe has unfortunately turned into 21st century slavery. 

Well as a conclusion the things which are life threatening and very dangerous for refugees are these things that you need to know them well and get rid of the people who might be infected with these diseases so that you can survive in Europe, they are:

•      Racism
•         Xenophobia
•      Islamophobia
•         Discrimination
