    She's a refugee like my parents. She was forced to grow up fast, and I don't know if that's necessarily a good thing. If you girls do have the privilege of having access to social media, I don't think it's a bad thing. Believe it or not, you become more worldly because of how fast information spreads. Just because 17 year olds' lives "revolve" around Instagram doesn't mean that they won't lead a beautiful life, as well. Thanks for taking the time to support Yusra, though. :)

    You go, girl! The refugee team is an awesome idea, making it possible for those athletes to continue top level training and pursue their dreams and goals and creating awareness... Yet I think those guy and gals should be starting for the country where they live now. That'd be a great way for Germany to better embrace its Syrian refugees (or for Kenia to embrace the Sudanese ones, and so on) and to show the world that those people deserve a new home that welcomes them - not an eternal refugee status.

    Why can't our governments let in more people like her? There are plenty of Syrian athletes, doctors, engineers etc. who should get priority as they are less likely to be dangerous and give back to their host country. Unfortunately because of political correctness our governments don't want to give priority to genuinely talented people and want to let in anybody who could be a criminal or have radical views with no concern for the nation or its people.

    This is not correct. The U.S. has only accepted a couple thousand Syrian refugees over the past few years, each of whom must go through a thorough, 2-year-long vetting process. When you only take a couple thousand out of millions, you not only get to be pretty selective, but really, you have to be. Judging by our current political climate, the politically correct thing to do is actually to do what you have done: to speak of refugees as if most of them are criminals, and to suggest that refugees like Yusra are some sort of anomaly, rather than the norm.

    Let in the engineers, doctors, athletes because they are less dangerous... but what about someone who's a cook? a stay-at-home-mom? a farmer? someone who was unemployed due to bad luck or due to a chronical illness? What about a recovering drug addict? Saying who's life is or isn't worth saving just because of their education or something they did in the past isn't ethical. It'd be unconstitutional in Germany.
