Another example of the refugee crisis in Libya. While it is in close proximity to the Italian island of Sicily, cramming people onto rafts and small boats is in incredibly dangerous task that seems to leave those migrants in far worse shape than when they left. However, these people are desperate to flee a region full of terror and horrific atrocities.

With the increasing amount of ISIS fighters pouring into Libya combined with virtually no government in Libya, the threat to European security is real. The Libyan coast is roughly 300 miles away from Sicily, just a bit farther than the distance between Dallas and San Antonio. In the past we have seen refugees fleeing Libya and taking rafts to the Sicilian coast, one must wonder if ISIS fighters are among them.
