Also why Europe? Other middle eastern countries should be far more welcoming to fellow muslims surely?

...(my thoughts Jenny..)...is it's just one of those situations that governments/countries haven't want to address or address sufficiently enough so hence the crisis and how it has grown.../just the usual passing the buck of responsibility...well, we've done a bit so now you and well we've done a bit now also.../human lives being passed around in the parcel as it were...I'm sure there are outbursts of hostility as well because I can't imagine the emotions of negativity in having to live day in and day out and month in and month out in such conditions as the migrant camps, it would be hard to keep any type of positivity going and yet some do but those aren't the ones who the media focus on though.../they show the emotions of extreme frustrations with how they're living and say ....LOOK HOW AWFUL THESE PEOPLE ARE...and the people who print these things, how would they be if they were in that situation and living like that.../would they be docile and smiling..?../just ridiculous....
...anyways, as to reasons Jenny..?...it's hard to say because I don't think these things are one size fits all...but many do have some English so maybe the language comes into play, maybe having relatives/friends...maybe feeling the work opportunities could be better here... or just a vision in a head that feels, England a welcoming people and great place and offering something that other countries don't...I guess that people speak about putting the great back into Britain for a reason and maybe we have a far reaching reputation for our greatness as a nation...
