Summary/Abstract: This and the following year will mark fourteen centuries since the Abyssinian king Negus refused to send back Muslim refugees from his country. These 117 refugees were horribly tortured and prosecuted in their hometown Mecca. Now, fourteen centuries after, Muslims from Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and other countries are subjected to terrifying exodus to Europe and America. What are the basic moral and political motives and causes for this? Fourteen centuries after the exile of Muslims to Abyssinia, a question is still living and pending: who in this world of today plays the role of Meccan pagans and who is spreading stories about magians, spell casters and religion that has, allegedly nothing in common with Christian or Jewish faith? Refugees from Middle East have found asylum and worm welcome with Ansaries who suffered great material and human losses in order to ease the suffering of exiled brothers. Since the year 2011.,in the Muslim world, the role of the Ansaries of Madina in accepting refugees from Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria is played by: Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. Turkey alone has accepted two and a half million refugees which cost 8 billion dollars.
