Gulf oil states...I have a question.

[Bricktop]

Why don't YOU let the Syrian and Libyan refugees into your MUSLIM countries.



Doesn't Allah tell you you must care for your brothers and sisters?



Why are they going to Europe, when their are perfectly good and wealthy islamic nations nearby that are more aligned with your religion and culture?

That's a good question Spec.



Ms la femme, care to shed some light on this?

There already are millions of refugees in Muslim countries.



Most Syrian refugees are in Turkey and Lebanon. Libyan refugees are going to Europe because it's just across the water.



What did you think would happen when we started bombing their countries and supported terrorists?

But Turkey, Lebanon or Jordan are not rich, Gulf oil states.  Syrians, who are required to obtain rarely granted visas to enter almost all Arab countries.



Without a visa, Syrians are not currently allowed to enter Arab countries except for Algeria, Mauritania, Sudan and Yemen.



The relative wealth and proximity to Syria of the states has led many - in both social and as well as traditional media - to question whether these states have more of a duty than Europe towards Syrians suffering from over four years of conflict and the emergence of jihadist groups in the country.



Rich, Gulf countries are funding ISIS and Al Qaeda groups and then refuse to let them in after the groups they fund created a refugee crisis.

Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan are along the Syrian border. The only places to go. Those refugees can't get to the rich Gulf oil states.

I take your point, Rom, but this is not about the cause of the flood, but why certain muslim countries seem unwilling to use some of their massive wealth to help their brothers. It seems that some are doing nothing...or less than nothing, and turning them away.



Abu Dhabi, Bahrain and Dubai in particular. These sandpits have untold wealth due to their oil, but don't seem keen to provide aid. Likewise Saudi Arabia.



It is not a question of transport. These countries could despatch aircraft and ships to pick these refugees up. I accept that some are helping out. Turkey and Lebanon, as you say. But there are MANY other muslim nations doing nothing. Indonesia. Malaysia. Egypt.



Why are these muslims fleeing to non islamic countries??



I suggest they are taking advantage of the human tragedy to queue jump into countries that would normally not allow them residency, and are far more compassionate than islamic nations.

That's because Gulf oil states won't accept them.

But Allah says that muslims must help their brothers in time of need!!!

I know people that have worked in oil rich, Arab nations. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Likewise Saudi Arabia.

Saudi Arabia is too busy creating Yemeni refugees with American cluster bombs.

They still found time to help ISIS take over the North of Iraq though.

How about we stop giving people excuses to be refugees?

They did! And so did we.



We're helping ISIS at this very moment. There will be plenty more refugees to come.

Yemen's Hidden War



Along with the Saudi coalition's bombing campaign, American warships have also helped to enforce a naval blockade that the Saudis say is necessary to prevent weapon shipments to the Houthis, whom they claim are supported by Iran. According to the U.N., this collective punishment has left the country "on the brink of famine," with desperate shortages of food, medical supplies and fuel — vital not only for transportation but for pumping increasingly scarce water from the depths of the country's depleted water tables. Four out of five Yemenis are now in need of humanitarian assistance.



To add to the worsening humanitarian crisis, on August 18 Saudi-led fighter jets bombed the port in the northern city of Hodeidah, a main supply route for aid agencies, while on the outskirts of Aden white sugar spills into shredded sacks of flour. Hundreds of pounds of vital food supplies lie ruined in bombed-out warehouses.

Yeah, we're really helping ISIS by taking in refugees. Guaranteed there are ISIS plants among them.

Prince Bandar bin Sultan, once the powerful Saudi ambassador in Washington and head of Saudi intelligence until a few months ago, had a revealing and ominous conversation with the head of the British Secret Intelligence Service, MI6, Sir Richard Dearlove. Prince Bandar told him: "The time is not far off in the Middle East, Richard, when it will be literally 'God help the Shia'. More than a billion Sunnis have simply had enough of them."

The fatal moment predicted by Prince Bandar may now have come for many Shia, with Saudi Arabia playing an important role in bringing it about by supporting the anti-Shia jihad in Iraq and Syria
