Summary/Abstract: Human history has always been characterized by repeated cycles of crisis and transitional periods bringing about transformation in various aspects of people’s coexistence and interaction with each other be it on the individual, ethnic, national, or even the international level. Currently, we have become eyewitnesses of what can be called the modern times crusades and exodus. The present free movement of people imposed by the globalization trend in contemporary society and particularly the new wave of migration with its relevant migrant crisis set in motion by numerous armed conflicts in the Middle East, will undoubtedly establish new relations among them, among ethnicities, among groups of different religious affiliation and even between migrants and host countries.
