Police in Italy said Wednesday (July 11th) that 25 Syrian refugees were among 150 other migrants who landed on Italian shores in three separate landings.
According to a police statement reported by AFP, the Syrians' boat ran aground on the southern Calabria region's coastline. Four children and 12 women were aboard.
A patrol boat took the refugees to the town of Roccella Ionica, where they are currently being housed, the statement said.

I apologize to the Syrian people and I never expected that they would remain steadfast for such a long period and with all this bravery, magnanimity and all the noble meanings that we see every day in Syria. You proves that the home of faith is in Syria, because many of the Syrians that I have met in my life did not offer such a good image of their land. I am sure that the victory of good is so close, but God tests you for a purpose. May God protect you from all evils, as you are the citadel of the Sunnah.

Bashar al-Asad wronged his people for a long period like his father. They lived their worst days and he caused them to live in poverty and to suffer from unemployment, which became rampant. The governmental institutions also suffered to the extent that their services became very poor, in addition to the high prices of basic goods in Syria. The Syrian regime did not only wrong its people in this period, but it caused the Syrian people to lose patience. I did not know that the Syrian regime is so bad to the extent of remaining in authority as if it is immortal in this world. However, I see that God blinds it with the cornet situation. The Syrian regime lost its legitimacy since the first day it used violence against the citizens. No state can help or support a president who kills his people, simply because they cannot trust their interests with him.

All states must provide the suitable medical staff and send foods to the Syrians. I think that they are suffering oppression at the hands of the Syrian regime and we ask God to have mercy upon them.
