Coss Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 I'm not casting aspersions on the motives of people who flee their country. These two photos demonstrate to me why people are fleeing Syria. But I do posit the question, "Will the people turn their new homelands into a likeness of their home countries?"

bust Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 Was watching an interesting discussion on this last night. Interestingly not one ME country is offering any refuge. Saudi's funding of Assad seems to also be a touchy subject with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My Penis is hungry Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 Bust that's bullshit repeated to the point it seems true, sorry mate, a quick look at UN will show millions of refugees in camps across ME. The real problem in ME is not granting immigration. Totally separate issue, but for holding refugee's, the ME is doing more than it's share. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bust Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 Looking at the UNHCR's figures you are correct. Perhaps they were referring to the current Syrian crisis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My Penis is hungry Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 UN clearly states the Syrian numbers, also Libya, which because ISIS isn't being called there is in deep shit too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Munchmaster Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 Interestingly not one ME country is offering any refuge. If you had said "not one Gulf country is offering any refuge" then you would probably have been correct. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waerth Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 To Coss: 95% of the people will not cause any problems to their new homes. Apart from it all most Syrians have a reasonable education. But you will also have 5% trouble makers. And that 5% is what worries me, they can hold their new host countries to hostage and turn the moods against the 95% good people as well. I personally feel that anyone showing any sign of making any kind of trouble in their new homes should be extradited to Assad or Isis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YimSiam Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 If you had said "not one Gulf country is offering any refuge" then you would probably have been correct. Yeah - the nearby, unrich countries of Lebanon and Jordan are completely swamped, one out of every four people in Lebanon now is a Syrian refugee. Similar in the US if you had 100 million refugees arrive... Amazing Lebanon has not collapsed into civil war again... But it's the Gulfis, the oil sheikhs and gas barons, who are doing nothing to assist. Maybe they feel generous, they send a few tons of dates for the eid holiday - but real support, and demonstrated solidarity with their Muslim brethren? Fucking nothing.

Flashermac Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 Saudi Arabia didn't officially ban slavery until the early 1960s. I remember it in the news when JFK was president. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
