The question is why should the burden of Muslim refugees be borne by Christian countries in Europe when so many petrodollar-rich Arab Muslim Gulf States (Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman and the UAE) refuse to take in any Muslim refugees at all? Why isn’t the UN forcing these wealthy Arab Muslim nations to take in their brothers?
JTF Why have the Gulf states, who are among the richest countries in the world, not taken in any Syrian refugees? Indeed, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE and other Gulf states have thus far resolved to keep their borders closed and let Europe do the dirty work. Even Britain has donated more in relief funds than all the wealthy Gulf States combined have done.
A Kuwaiti official Fahad al-Shalami said that the Gulf States are quite simply, “too valuable to accept any refugees.” “Our countries are only fit for workers.” The real gem? Shalami then essentially explained why the “riff raff” should go where they’ll be with their own kind.
“Kuwait is too expensive for them anyway, as opposed to Lebanon and Turkey, which are cheap,” he said. “They are better suited for Syrian refugees.”
Five of the wealthiest Muslim countries have taken in no Syrian refugees at all, arguing that doing so would “open them up to the risk of terrorism.”
Breitbart Yet amidst cries for Europe to do more, it has transpired that of the five wealthiest countries on the Arabian Peninsula, that is, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait and Bahrain, not one has taken in a single refugee from Syria. Instead, they have argued that accepting large numbers of Syrians is a threat to their safety, as terrorists could be hiding within an influx of people. Sherif Elsayid-Ali, Amnesty International’s Head of Refugee and Migrants’ Rights, has slammed their inaction as “shameful”.
The Conversation There are many reasons why the Gulf states should take in Syrian refugees. These are rich nations with plenty of resources; they share similar cultural and linguistic backgrounds to many of the refugees.
The Gulf States apparently believe that they have been benevolent enough with the rest of their Arab neighbours – Egyptians, Syrians and Lebanese, for example, have all been granted work permits over the years and allowed to live in Gulf territories – that their generosity has been extended far enough.
This is a major social and demographic issue, and the Gulf countries do not want to further outnumber their indigenous populations by accepting yet more settlers.
But there is something else that commentators are missing: the Gulf region has built its modern reputation on being a pristine, consumerist heaven. This is the land of large spotless highways, sports cars, massive malls …..
Refugee camps would tarnish this perfect landscape, which must remain appealing to foreign investors and Western tourism. Besides, the argument goes, isn’t sending money to the refugees who’ve ended up in far-flung, less wealthy countries like Lebanon and Jordan enough?

The fist sentence says it all. The rich arab nations stay rich then they dump all of the poor on us to feed and hause, and that is why they are rich but wait a minute the rich arab states are saying that these people are too dangerous to let in their country but ours is ok aint it. Who is the idiot here?.
Aaaa says
It doesn’t make any sense.
maybe some of those European countries are so peaceful and prosperous to the point where it’s boring.
and they want to bring some chaos
🙈
Rebel Patriot says
Christian countries in Europe and elsewhere have been played for fools/suckers. Manipulation of people through intimidation, past history and plain old gullibility/stupidity has won out. This is why European countries that allowed the muslim invasion will eventually succumb to islamic domination. A war inside those countries is possible,but looking at the
native white men/women of those countries makes it look laughable. I hope I am wrong.
BareNakedIslam says
I fear you might be right.
Daniel Erbstoesser says
Bonni i dont fear this ..no i know it and i see it daily on our streets here in germany. Does anybody think that the ones discussing how to buttfu.. the best way or today man tomorrow woman and the day after something else. We are more and we have to save the world, multi culti is best and money comes from the bankautomat. So i ask you who will win this fight…yep we wont .
BareNakedIslam says
Daniel, is there no breaking point for the German people?
Daniel Erbstoesser says
Bonni the german people have been broken and that after the war. The winner gave the anti nazi education to the frankfurter high school and that is a 100% commy and marxists school. The reeducation has done super work and the german people will never stand alone again and yes the german people are part marxists then that is what they got after the war. The greens with their march through the institutions have 100% succses then the school is where you can indoctrinate the children and that is exactly what happened and the fruits of this you see today only this time it (socialismus) will destroy all we know and yes the winner is who did this then had he done the right thing then this would not be able to happen. I wont say who is wrong then the times were another but we have the outcome today.
Occupiededed says
Yes you get that feeling about the mess that west European cities have become. Castrated exs now dumbed consumers. Be nice and not notice. Ripe for or already occupied. What used to be hard to even conceive is now happening or already happened right there in front of your eyes mate. White Euros could be reminders of the Warsaw Ghetto. No resistance until it was too late.
Women doing nothing is downright scary.
Pray Hard says
Because the UN is controlled by those wealthy mollusk nations. Besides, they’re not refugees. They’re invaders.
Az gal says
Those Islamic oil countries control the UN, that’s why.
Freedom Lover says
Yes. It is so unjust. So wrong. The low class Muslim trash. Lazy God forsaken brain drained who want slavery and chains. No Muslims.

Exactly!

Armenian, Jewish, Greek and Kurdish Americans to Dr. Oz: No Genocide Deniers in Congress
October 14, 2022
HUNTINGDON VALLEY, Penn. – A coalition of Armenian, Jewish, Greek and Kurdish Americans gathered at Pennsylvania Senate candidate Dr. Oz’s headquarters on Wednesday evening to protest his refusal to recognize the Armenian Genocide and to call upon him to end his complicity in Turkey’s international campaign of denial.
Organizers of the protest included the Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) national, Eastern US regional and Pennsylvania local affiliates, Rabbi Shmuley Boteach – “America’s Rabbi” – who leads the World Values Network, and the Hellenic American Leadership Council (HALC).
“We are here today because as American citizens and descendants of the survivors of genocide, we refuse to allow a candidate to drag the US Senate back into the days of denial,” stated ANC of Pennsylvania co-chair Lorig Baronian.
“Denial is the final stage of all genocides – and also, sadly, the first stage of the next genocide – because it enables the perpetrators to escape culpability.
This is what allows them to recur, and unfortunately, is evident today as we see similar atrocities being committed with impunity against the Kurdish minority of Turkey, to the Armenians of Artsakh.”
