Syrian hacker here, it's indeed a tough time to be a Syrian. we lost our homes and got no place to go, with almost no country would grant us a visa to enter even for work or business.

I just wanted to raise a point that this crisis not only affects immigrants and asylum seekers, but there are also hundreds of well educated and business founders who are faced with discrimination everywhere on grounds of their nationality.

for instance, last week many German banks rejected my application for a personal account due to my nationality. (although I have obtained a gmbh licensed company ). it is always fine until we pull out our passports. and the response is always "sorry we have no information but we can't open the account".

I really wish if the west would stop putting all Syrians in one category, many of us are educated, smart, hard workers and willing to contribute to modern societies. we really just want a way out of our pain and to feel safe again ..
