I hadn't seen the refugee crisis compared, numerically, with other recent refugee events...and I think the last paragragh did help add some perspective to this crisis, compared to previous refuge problems.

Most of those fleeing Syria's ongoing civil war have not made their way to Europe - more than four million Syrians have taken refuge in neighbouring countries, while 7.6 million are displaced inside the war-ravaged country.

But you're right, the article doesn't talk about how/if the cultural differences make this crisis unique.
