From the perspective of the poorest parts of the world, Europe represents the weakest link in the coalition fighting radical Islam, a battle that is taking its highest toll – despite the impression created by Western media coverage – primarily in the Middle East, South Asia, and Africa. For many of those fleeing the conflicts in these regions, Europe is also the Promised Land – the object of the hopes and dreams of those risking their lives to reach the prosperous side of the Mediterranean Sea.
从世界最穷地区的角度看，欧洲是对抗极端伊斯兰教联盟中最弱的一环。这场战争的代价主要由中东、南亚和非洲承担——尽管西方媒体报道造成的印象并非如此。对许多因为冲突而逃离这些地区的人来说，欧洲也是迦南乐土——对冒着生命危险来到繁荣的地中海这一边的人来说，这里也是希望和梦想的目标。
