You quite obviously dont. The Iron Curtain kept people IN, the fences on the balkans are made to keep people out. Its the exact opposite, dont let facts get in the way of your imaginary worldview though. STanding by it after proven wrong? I wouldnt expect anything less. You are just ignoring reality because it doesnt fit your world view. Its called confirmation bias.

Economic/political is extremely vague, and why is this the problem and not religion. Just saying so is not an argument. Its just more confirmation bias. Quite franktly you dont seem to know anything about Islam at all, other than that it is not the cause(again confirmation bias). 

Confirmation bias, confirmation bias, confirmation bias,... Is repeating word sentences which you probably don't fully understand the only thing you people can do? I know the Iron Curtain was used to keep people in. It was not in line with the treaty of Human Rights. But the current Iron Curtain, made to keep people out is also in violation of the Human Rights treaty, and it is build by people who should know that building giant iron fences NEVER amounts to something good. So once again, my comparison holds.

Economic/political reasons then. It's quite simple really. Syria and Iraq, both countries with oil reserves, Syria also having a big food producing potential. They're both surrounded by different regional powers (Iran, Turkey, Saudi Arabia), who are supported by different big powers (NATO countries and the CIS countries). The whole ordeal has turned into a giant geopolitical proxy-war, with in the middle Daesh, which under the guise of Islam, uses terror tactics to constitute their own state out of a weakened Iraq and Syria. The use of such violence, is under normal religious circumstances forbidden (one should not attack people from the Abrahamic relgions, according to the Islam). All religions have such a golden rule, but all religions also violated it (or were used in name, seeingas religions themselves do not have personal character).
