Na spletu se najde vse. Včasih je potrebno samo malce več časa in prideš do informacij, ki so veliko bolj verodostojne kot tiste, ki jih najdeš pri nekaterih ljudeh, ki jih izkoriščajo za ustrahovanje. Ja, primer Laith Al Saleh je eden izmed tistih, ki zadnje dni buri duhove in v ljudeh vzbuja strah.

• Sram me je / o beguncih na Twitterju

Zgodba, ki se vrti na Facebooku, Twitterju in še marsikje drugje je preprosta. Nekako takole gre:

Dobro poglejte tega islamističnega džihadista, morilca iz Sirije, po imenu El Saleh, ki se kot lažni begunec v skupini z drugimi begunci pomika preko Grčije, Makedonije, Srbije…, proti zahodni Evropi. V Siriji je bil komandant nekaj 100 krvoločnim džihadistom, kateri pobijajo, posiljujejo, obglavljajo in križajo nedolžne žrtve. Vsak dan gledamo grozljive prizore, ki jih svet ne pomni v zadnjih 60 letih. Tega morilca so prepoznale varnostne službe v Srbiji po značilni brazgotini na levem licu. Koliko je še takih “beguncev”, “petokolonašev”, ki se kot teroristi tihotapijo med pravimi begunci proti Evropi? Pomehkužene vlade in državne varnostne službe v Evropi pa nič! Dokler ne bo spet fajn počilo z mnogo žrtvami!

• Njegova zgodba je seveda povsem drugačna, kot pa ta, ki jo nekateri izkoriščajo za ustrahovanje naroda – Syrian rebel leader seeks Europe _ fleeing gov’t and jihadis / Associated Press By NICHOLAS PAPHITIS and DALTON BENNETT

Laith Al Saleh, a plasterer from Aleppo, stands out from the crowd waiting in the sweltering August heat, and it’s not just his battle-scarred face that sets him apart. He is accustomed to being in command — he led a 700-strong rebel unit in Syria’s civil war — and he is now keen to help others dealing with exile.

“Everyone wants to leave Syria,” he said. “My (home) is the most dangerous city in the world. About 70 percent of the city is destroyed … In Syria, Al Qaeda want me, Daesh (the Islamic State extremist group), the government — I fought them all. I don’t care. Some people are afraid. I’m not.”

Al Saleh joined the Free Syrian Army, the moderate, Western-backed forces opposing President Bashar Assad — but also fighting the Islamic State group and the Al-Qaeda affiliated Nusra Front.

• Druga stvar, ki se je zadnje čase pojavljala povsod pa je to, da begunci zavračajo pomoč, ker je na škatlah oznaka Rdečega križa, ki je podoben krščanskemu križu. No, tudi to ne drži, kar je potrdil Predrag Petrovic, ki je bil na krajo dogodka – Debunking: we spoke to the guy who shot the video purportedly showing migrants refusing Red Cross aid

The refugees – says Petrovic in his email – had spent three days in the no man’s land between Macedonia and Greece. At the time the video was shot it was raining and the refugees had spent almost two hours under the pouring rain. Macedonian police wouldn’t let them cross the border. Then the Red Cross arrived to distribute aids for the refugees in the form of food and water. The refugees were angry because they weren’t allowed to cross the border into Macedonia, so they refused aid shouting “No! No!”. Macedonian policed only allowed one group of 200/300 refugees to cross the border every two hours, as such is the capacity of the train that connects Gevgelija to the Serbian border on which they were boarded.
