Gulf oil states...I have a question.

I respect your opinion! I don't know much about the politics. Taiwan has had a wild history.



So many have used the good island for personal and nationalistic gain. It's been constantly pulled at from all sides.



Mostly good people though! They deserve so much better.



You're absolutely right. It's the answer to this thread. We all need to put humanitarianism ahead of xenophobia.

That is so true Romero..



I know Taiwan will not change it's racist ways in the immediate future, but Canada and especially the United States need to do more.

[Romero]

We need to do more not bombing them and stuff. Whether it's us, the US or UK or Saudi Arabia or ISIS, innocent people are going to have no other choice but to flee their homes and livelihoods. Horrors the most of us couldn't possibly understand.



The warmongers of the West and the terrorists of ISIS are practically walking arm in arm. Step by step. The only thoughts they ever have are of taking over and killing. Bombs and bullets flying like there's no tomorrow. It only ends up being no tomorrow for the good and innocent.



We need to ally ourselves with only those who are committed to peace. There are no "moderate" soldiers. There are no "patriotic" arms manufacturers.

The politics I do not care about..



Wealthy nations in the West and especially the East are not doing enough..



People are dying, let's do what we can.

[Romero]

We need to do more and many of us will! This is another test of humanity. We shall welcome others with open arms, but we need to figure out how to make them safe in the first place.

I have so little faith in elected governments in any country to do what is right.

A Reminder That A Syrian Migrant's Son Gave Us The iPhone



A Hungary ruled by right-wing Prime Minister Viktor Orban doesn't deserve to produce the next iPhone.



The populist leader has spewed viciously xenophobic and anti-Muslim rhetoric as migrants -- many of whom escaped violence in Syria -- amass in Hungary, a way station on the route to Germany. This, even as the world reels from the photo of Syrian toddler Aylan Kurdi's drowned body, cradled in the arms of a Turkish police officer. The gut-wrenching image only served to illustrate the desperate odds refugees face while trying to escape war at home.



Still, Orban is not alone.



In Greece, masked gunmen attack boats of migrants, attempting to prevent them from reaching the shores of the European Union. Even in Germany, where the government has taken in a record 800,000 refugees, a surge in neo-Nazi attacks on migrants have rocked the country.



Images of people leaving a Hungarian railway station on Friday to travel to Austria on foot demonstrate rich nations' reluctance to provide safe havens to those lucky enough to set foot in a stable country.



But, lest we forget, one of the men who most dramatically impacted human civilization in the last decade was the son of a Syrian who migrated to the U.S. in 1954.



Perhaps you've heard of him. His name was Steve Jobs.

Wtf does that have to do with the issue Romero?  Consider taking up salmon fishing because your red herring is getting tiresome.



The point of this thread is why aren't Muslim countries taking in Muslim refugees?

[Romero]

Many Muslim countries are taking in millions. Some Muslim countries are not. Those that aren't are mainly our "allies".



Why are we bombing Muslim countries and supporting their terrorists? Why are we creating refugees?

This is a fair question...bombing who to help who?



There is no strategy, or objective. Let's bomb them and let someone else sort it out.



If ISIS is to be stopped, Syria's "loathsome" government must be part of the solution. Can the west acknowledge Assad's leadership?

...and yet if Europeans and North Americans say the same thing, they're branded as racists and xenophobes.



These nations can't even control their own people even though they worship the same religion, speak the same language and are ethnically/racially the same people - arab muslims

That's no excuse for us not to open our borders.

It may be a tad inconsiderate but it's smart of them not to accept refugees.

[Bricktop]

The point is it highlights the hypocrisy of islam...and indeed all religion.
