What do we actually know about the approximately 600,000 Syrians who have fled to Germany since the beginning of the civil war? Who are these often young men who now live here alone? And what do they think of us? Representing many of his fellow countrymen, Faisal Hamdo has shared his impressions of Germany in long conversations with Elena Pirin. He talks about what he likes and finds fascinating, but also about irritations and misunderstandings. By comparing his life here with that in Syria, he simultaneously answers many questions from the equally astonished Germans: Can an Arab Muslim be open-minded and tolerant? What is the perception of women among Arab men? Does a traumatized war refugee necessarily have a ticking time bomb inside them? And can he even imagine returning to Syria?.
