description The Middle East crises reiterate the popular sentiment that the region will retain her volatility for years to come, whilst refreshing our memory of the transnationalism of modern political upheaval. The wave and magnitude of the displaced people out of the Middle East, particularly from Syria does not merely underpin the depth of the humanitarian crisis, but the ferocity shown by the victims trying to reach the supposedly shore of hope, help, prosperity, and posterity in Europe. The crisis further illuminates the often rejected view that the Muslim societies cannot command a common voice to resolving common crisis mostly challenging fellow religious and cultural kin. Yet, the crisis also lay bare before our naked eyes that irrespective of the looming and daunting crises confronting Europe, Europeans have not altogether forsaken their moral value of humanitarianism, though the latter is challenged by the growing propensity of far-rightism. The article is an attempt to understand the European reactions towards the refugee crisis through the prism of event-analysis, policy-assessment, and public opinion. Doing the latter, the research delineates the three dimensional approaches (institution, state, and people) through which European have treated the crisis. The piece underscored the pertinence of the far-right tendency, not as mere farce, but a reckonable force potential enough to determine the final fate of the refugees seeking succor in Europe. The piece was not completed without expounding the extent to which Muslim/Arab states responded to the crisis.
