If they are let into Europe it will be a big cultural shock for them. Most of them are very happy with laws that are not permitted in Europe.

🌀 I'm more concerned about the Americans in Louisiana and surrounding areas who are about to lose their homes, cars, livelihoods or family members by way of Hurricane Ida. Will the USA take care of them and rebuild their towns in the months to come? There is going to be catastrophic devastation that will take years to fix. Please put Americans FIRST! 🌀

So sad.. praying for Afghanistan.. lord Jesus please b with them...

If all of this is revolving around the opium trade of Afganistán, the ultimate culprits are the users. But the ultimate responsibility for one’s own country is on the people populating it.
Many-many-many people that were prospering or doing relatively well in the EVER-CORRUPT Afghanistan, have fled and continue fleeing to all parts of the world bringing their “skill” of how to succeed in business to the neighborhood near you.
For this reason, all of those all over the world — STOP USING.

Maybe a certain totalitarian violent cult is to blame?

[davidtagliaferri]

After you pray for them how about some action to help.
