Why does it have to be Syria??, when there are 22 Arab States, and 57 declared Muslim States. Syrian Christians should be OK in Europe, as they are doing just fine here in the US, like my dentist. Jewish Syrians like Syrian immigrant Yasser Seirawan: Chess grandmaster, also Jerry Seinfeld and Paula Abdul are Syrian Americans doing just fine as well. Steve Jobs’ father, Abdulfattah Jandali, was a Syrian Muslim immigrant, but he was never involved with his son. Note: Jobs was raised by his adopted Christian parents.
