It doesn't appear that any of them have considered it.

That's what I thought Romero..



Xenophobia is part of the culture in those countries..



We are having an emergency prayer meeting tomorrow in our church..



My heartfelt hope is we will find a way to sponsor some of those desperate people.

And they call white nations "racist".

I admit East Asian countries are not in a position to judge anyone SPECTRE.

Far from it. I've seen how they treat "guest workers".

I've seen how foreign workers lived in Taiwan SPECTRE..



It's inexcusable for such a wealthy nation.

Quote from: "SPECTRE"That several muslim nations are sitting idly by doing nothing to help their brethren...



 :001_rolleyes:

I've mentioned that Muslim countries have taken in millions, but you're right about the selfish select. The wealthy Gulf States have been dishing out lots in aid, but they don't want anything to do with refugees. They prefer living in their opulent Fantasylands.



Forget Saudi Arabia. Fuck Saudi Arabia. They're bombing Yemen right now, creating a new wave of refugees. This is why the West is just as complicit. Those jets and bombs are made in the West.  


QuoteBetween October 2010 and October 2014, Washington and Riyadh reached more than $90 billion in weapons deals, according to a report published in January by the Congressional Research Service. The sales have included everything from war planes to armored vehicles, along with powerful missiles and bombs.

Saudi Arabia needs to stop warmongering. We need to stop warmongering. This crisis is the inevitable result.

...don't forget the Sultanate of Brunei:

The average per capita income there is $54,000 USD, making it one of the highest in the world.

(I wouldn't mind a $54,000 USD/$70,000 CDN annual income).



The Sultan of Brunei is also one of the world's wealthiest men.



And yet, there are no reports that Brunei, a Muslim nation, has accepted or is prepared to accept any refugees from the Middle East. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I haven't  known of any refugees they've accepted.

That's very good of you and your church, Fash!



I'd hate to think it's xenophobia but much of it is. Though I think the refugees would have a hard time in many of those countries anyway. The West is much better experienced.



I just read up a bit on Malaysia out of curiosity. Only hundreds of Syrians taken in so far. However, Malaysia is home to tens of thousands of refugees from Myanmar. They're not doing very well there.

Thank you Frank..



You are right.

I thought a good facebook page to start and allow others to 'Like' is "Wealthy Deadbeat Muslim Nations of the Middle East and Elsewhere that don't help out their own Kind." Then maybe they'd be embarassed to do something for their own people.

I can't stand these Sultans, kings and princes who claim they're good religious people. They're nothing but a bunch of selfish, jet-setting playboys. Hugh Hefner has probably done more good than all of them combined.



I've read that some Bruneians are helping Syrian refugees, but I don't think His Royal Worthless could care less.

I 've read the Brunei princes like alcohol, drugs, and sex, but not helping people in desperate need..



Taiwan is wealthy too, but what have we done?

Romero

I think we may have to give Taiwan a pass on this one! There are refugees from Vietnam and political refugees from China.



Taiwan is already pretty densely populated, and it's tough to join international agreements due to its disputed status as a nation.



I do know there are a lot of good human rights organizations there.

Taiwan does not deserve a pass..



It's entry rules are leftover from a dictator who hated everyone who was not Chinese..



My husband's home country, Holland is densely populated too, but they have put humanitarianism ahead of xenophobia.

Romero

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.
