When some one asks you if you are/were a Refugee, what will be your answer? Will you say yes? No? Are? Were? Is such a question appropriate to ask? Is it asked because somewhere on your face the lines show the tales of exile and misplacement? Or is it asked because they wonder how many of your family members have been executed or politically or religiously were persecuted.
What will be your answer? Will you be willing to discuss your personal and privet life or will you just come up with some ready-made answers in order to not relive the memories of the tortures life in the Middle East or the psychological and social abuse of living as a Refugee/Immigrant in the European countries? Why is it that some of us have to explain ourselves for leaving our homeland where as others do not have to! Is there such a thing as the perfect world? Perfect country? Perfect life? Perfect people? Perfect status? Perfect Race or perfect Religion and Nationality? Once your status changes from citizen X to misplaced Y, does it really matter if there was a camel or a B.M.W. in your parking or in order to eat food you used your hands, feet or mouth? Leaving the birth country may not be the easiest experience for most of us but it even gets more difficult by being dehumanized in the host countries especially in the Western Europe. Not only the refugee/immigrant is not treated as an equal but rather becomes an easy target for the representing governments to trigger hate and anger in the society.
