I think a lot of fear comes from not really being familiar with refugees and their culture. Bear in mind that most Syrian refugees are middle class, educated, coming from secular state and except for the color of the skin they can be any of us. We have here a small Syrian, Iraqi and Palestinian minority that came to study here and some 20-30 years ago but decided to stay. All of them perfectly fit here. In my neighborhood there was a punk band fronted by a Syrian. But why we would need to care at all, for all we care people can worship Cthulhu if they want. I am very disappointed by Eastern European countries and their reaction to this. They wanted liberalism and western values and when they got now they are, oh but we didn't mean that!
