Spumoni Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 Heres the link I found to get things started. I was approached by a colleague who brought this up. Why don't gulf countries take asylum seekers? Why is the wars and cultures of a totally different nature going out of there way when other countries much closer could help? Are they not rich enough to raise charities or provide some sort of relief. I feel they know deep down the Europeans are willing to take in the refugees. Thoughts? https://www.reddit.com/r/europe/comments/3j7afl/serious_why_dont_the_refugees_go_to_gulf_countries/? Slavery in the UAE, not accepting asylum seekers, people arrested and deported on sight, why does this have to be a European problem? I see in the swedish tabloids a 3 year old laying dead on a beach being shamelessly paraded as a means of enforcing more government regulations. It makes me sick and I wish more people asked these kinds of questions. Why couldn't he just as easily made it to Jordan, or Israel, or Egypt? Its devastating and I would like to hear thoughts on this.
WasatchMan Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 I heard Saudi Arabia won't take in refugees, but is building a bunch (somewhere around 20) Wahhabi temples in Germany specifically for refugees. Seems like they get how to play into this culture war while the west just continues to kill itself through its weakness of character.
AccuTron Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 Europe has land with water and trees and the mideast in general doesn't. One stinkin' desert swapped for another. The other big reason is the cultural differences, which are well discussed here and elsewhere. Europe is compassionate, and will cram refugees in between the places already occupied by those native locals who don't have a say in it. Gulf states point out their border guards. 1

Donnadogsoth Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 Really this is part of ISIS's master plan. They know the Muslim states nearby are uncompassionate and unpleasant, and by uprooting millions they can pump the West full of Muslims. It doesn't matter if they're good Muslims or bad Muslims, the point is simply demographics. Turkey: Are the millions who have reached Turkey planning to stay, or queuing to get to Europe proper?
