Seems like it's only temporary?

Well.. Yeah. They aren't immigrating here, they are seeking refuge until the war in their own country has stopped / it is safe to return.

There's an election coming up this year so this might just be tough talk to win votes. Also, she doesn't want to give Le Pen more ammunition because Le Pen victory equals death blow to EU.

That seems unfeasible. They can't very easily send the millions of refugees back all at once when Syria is deemed safe, which will likely be no sooner than a few years time, by which time many will have stayed in Europe for almost a decade.
"Merkel said 70 percent of the refugees who fled to Germany from former Yugoslavia in the 1990s had returned."
Very impressive - so 30% of refugees from Yugoslavia from the 1990s are still in Germany? That's a significant minority.

So 30% of refugees from Yugoslavia from the 1990s are still in Germany, decades later?

Caused? No. We helped the instability, but we didn't cause it.

Really too hard to say, but I have a hunch the recent rise of Islamic fundamentalism right across the Muslim world might have some thing to do with it...

The war in Syria is very near its end; advancements by the Syrian army and allied forces have shown true to that. As long as political stability is allowed to take lead, then Syria should be able to rebuild a lot faster than you would think. Incidentally, it was the west who caused this spate of instability in the first place.

They're consolidating in the Damascus and Aleppo areas, but it'll be ages before they're in any position to decisively crush the rebels in the north.
And the west absolutely did not "cause" the war in Syria. The war started because of a government crackdown on protests, which led to army soldiers defecting to the rebels and civilians taking up arms. The west added to it once it was underway, but they did not start it, they merely reacted to it.

No. It was obviously Mohammed, who invented Islam as a political ideology intended to control the behaviour of his superstitious compatriots.

In fact the beheading chaps in Iraq and Syria got their name wrong, thinking about it. It should have been called "The evil, disbelieving, Crusader West caused us to rise! State."
Far more accurate. Catchy too...

Yes. Nothing to do with Islam at all really.

I think Saudi Arabia played a bigger role than the "west".
