Syria and Koran

: Then you and your family collect your luggage, according to Globe and Mail. There not much, a few clothes, some important mementoes: dog-eared photos from when life in Syria was normal and you thought yourself secure, the watch that was a gift from the brother you left behind, tin clips for holding a hijab in place that your wife doubted she would be able to find in Canada, a worn copy of the Koran. After that, someone at a desk with a computer terminal asks you more questions and then gives you a social insurance number so you can work. You wonder if you should keep the Koran a secret, if anyone asks what you have to declare. There are TV cameras everywhere. And then suddenly you are in the bright, noisy airport greeting area.
