@MarkusS I have had some severe differances with you in the past but maybe I was too quick in judging you. Let's get one fundamental fact out of way first. Humans rarely like change. Most of us prefer certainty to uncertainty. Familiarity to unfamiliarity. Nobody likes their cities changing. However understand one natural law. Change is inevitable. Nothing remains
constant.
You in Italy ought to appreciate that fact more than most. Your country was the lynchpin of the Roman Empire. Fact is majority of the people you despise were part of and citizens of that empire. That would include Marocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libyia, Egypt, Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and parts of Iraq. I know for a fact that there were Syrian Roman Legionaires posted on the Hadrian Wall in Britain and many died there defending the far pavilions of the Roman Empire.
Bizzarely the Germans and other Northern Europeans were not part of the Roman Empire and were classified as "savages". You already probably know who destroyed the Roman Empire ( hint Vandals ) so thos ought to tell you how things change inexorably.
Now what you see is human migration here. What has happened is the Syrian refugee trail has provided a "human rail" that has been jumped by many other economic migrants. Afghans, Pakistani, Iranians, Kurds, Africans. Eritreans etc. That Syrian refugees are being used as a mask for others is well known fact.
Human migration has always taken place although the speed and temp has increased in the last 250 years. You in Italy again should be well versed in human migrants. If every Italian migrant came back from other peoples land I suspect population of Italy would increase by 50%. I am sure you have heard of Italian- Americans. Just so as to make this known in case you don't know this but there is something called "Native American" and trust me they were not and are still not overly thrilled about half of Europe landing on their continent. I am going to look into this subject in detail some other time but your claim that they guy's are "cowards" is absurd. The men go first to lay the roots and then later women will be brought over. If anything if they sent women first they indeed would be cowards.
Now on the subject of cowards I would like to remind you of Italian performance in WW2. I also want to bring to your attention that many men from the area of Pakistan I hail from spilled blood in kicking Germans out of your country in WW2. One fine example of such man was
Sepoy Ali Haider who won the highest medal that Britain gives to it's heroes in battle - The
Victoria. Cross
Ali Haidar (VC) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
My own grandad also fought in Italy in 1944 although I am glad he came back alive or else bit of me would not be here. So your claim of cowardice incorrect and is unfair.
The official citation for Haidar's award, published in the
London Gazette in July 1945 reads:
The KING has been graciously pleased to approve the award of the VICTORIA CROSS to: — No. 26534 Sepoy ALl HAIDAR, 13th Frontier Force Rifles, British Raj Army.
In Italy, during the crossing of the River Senio, near Fusignano, Italy in daylight on 9 April 1945, a Company of the I3th Frontier Force Rifles were ordered to assault the enemy positions strongly dug in on the far bank. These positions had been prepared and improved over many months and were mainly on the steep flood banks, some 25 feet high.
Sepoy Ali Haidar was a member of the lefthand Section of the left-hand Platoon. As soon as the Platoon started to cross, it came under heavy and accurate machine gun fire from two enemy posts strongly dug in about 60 yards away. Sepoy Ali Haidar's Section suffered casualties and only 3 men, including himself, managed to get across. The remainder of the Company was temporarily held up. Without orders, and on his own initiative, Sepoy Ali Haidar, leaving the other two to cover him, charged the nearest post which was about 30 yards away. He threw a grenade and almost at the same time the enemy threw one at him, wounding him severely in the back. In spite of this he kept on and the enemy post was destroyed and four of the enemy surrendered. With utter disregard of his own wounds he continued and charged the next post in which the enemy had one Spandau and three automatics, which were still very active and preventing movement on 'both banks. He was "again wounded, this time in the right leg and right arm. Although weakened by loss of blood, with great determination Sepoy Ali Haidar crawled closer and in a final effort raised himself from the ground, threw a grenade, and charged into the second enemy post. Two enemy were wounded and the remaining two surrendered.
Taking advantage of the outstanding success of Sepoy Ali Haidar's dauntless attacks, the rest of the Company charged across the river and carried out their task of making a bridgehead.
Sepoy Ali Haidar was picked up and brought back from the second position seriously wounded.
The conspicuous gallantry, initiative, and determination combined with a complete disregard for his own life shown by this very brave Sepoy in the face of heavy odds were an example to the whole Company. His heroism had saved an ugly situation which would — but for his personal bravery — have caused the Battalion a large number of casualties at a critical time and seriously delayed the crossing of the river and the building of a bridge. With the rapid advance which it was possible to make the Battalion captured 3 officers and 217 other ranks and gained their objectives.[3
* Just a note the Frontier Regiment is today a proud component of the Pakistan Army Strike Corps.

In the link below is a video which clearly shows many of the migrants are NOT Syrians. Example in the video we have African, Sudan and Mr Ahmad Khan who of course is a Pakistani.
