What ever happened to "innocent until proven guilty"

( Sunday opinion )A lot is not clear. In fact, most we do not know, and most of us don't understand the world around us. People only read headlines but do not have an overview of all the facts. Ignorance and uncertainty become fears. On Dutch television it is all about refugees. If you take this 'black and white' news for truth, your mind could be fed by these extreme ideas. Or brainwashed, the same way, some dutch fear, that the brains of these refugees are brainwashed by Islam. Media does not show 'the average' but only excesses. The media is the biggest devil. I digress. Let me start at the beginning. You might have heard there is war in Syria. Lebanon has 1,1 million Syrian refugees, about 1 refugee on every 5 Lebanese. 55% of these refugees lives in poor conditions. Lebanon has closed the border and registered refugees are not allowed to work. Millions of refugees in Turkey - with 300 million inhabitants - have been living there for 3 to 4 years. About 1,8 million in tent camps and 3 million Sometimes in inhuman conditions and without prospect of improvement in their situation. Some of these people want to travel to Europe, especially the western part. In the Netherlands, we have two types of shelters, temporary and permanent centers. Some Dutch people revolt against this intake of a few asylum seekers. Yes, a few. Because per week the Netherlands get about 2500 applications for asylum. Annually this would mean about 130.000. After 10 years that could be 1.3 million. Source: Frontex, The Migrants' Files, UNHCR, Eurostat

Now, I live for three months 'on the run' myself. Only possession is my backpack with my laptop. A hopeless situation with no chance of improvement and disruption of social life. And then you do not know exactly where it ends. It is a fact that most of the refugees really would love to go back home, after the war in Syria is ended. These refugees come from a war area and are traumatized people. There is also a group of 'economic' refugees. Some right winged Dutch took the law into their own hands and threw fireworks to frighten the refugees in a dutch shelter. In my eyes these people are acting purposefully. You play on the trauma that these refugees have. In my eyes you are equal to a war criminal if you trow fireworks. These dutch people are mostly scared. Scared when the shelters with 50 or 150 refugees are created in the middle of their neighborhood. When these shelters are made outside the village, they don't care if there are 1500 refugees in it. So, it is again all abut the data ?. Compare these figures: Still 9800 USA-soldiers are in Afghanistan. Yes we DO care about our veterans. We know, by example, they do not like fireworks, don't we ?. About 180.000 children are born each year in the Netherlands. And 9 million people die of hunger every year. Martin Caparros said in his book 'hunger' that hunger has become a silent killer. I am drifting now. In a period of 20 years, 2.5 billion people have joined the hunger has been halved. Now, 800 billion dollar was used to rescue banks in the USA. To fight hunger we only need 30 million per year. But according to experts, we need 250 billion per year to end hunger before 2030. No, we can fix it now. Before Christmas. I am on the loose.

There was a meeting about an asylum seeker center in Rotterdam. It almost became a riot. However, fear that the asylum seekers will act criminal. Typically, Rotterdam was for many years the largest import and export port, and also has the largest #Chinatown where over 100 different cultures eat, have restaurants and supermarkets with foreign products. Another place where a temporary shelter for asylum seekers is planned, is a neighborhood where many Jews live. They fear anti-Semitic thoughts among the asylum seekers. What impressed me the most is that these refugees come mainly from Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq. The Dutch who are against, are waiting for the buses with refugees, holding signs and banners with texts as "stop Islamization." As every refugee has only one aim, to spread Islam. I must explain again that even if all the refugees would have a religion, this is not just Islam. And even if there are many believers in a religion, only 2% is extremist and capable of committing extreme acts. About 5% are opportunist and would eventually be able to commit extreme acts. No, Don't explain. It is important to realize that 93 to 98% simply is a pacifist. More about the real scientific radicalization theory
