Meanwhile, the Gulf States have not accepted ONE refugee from Syria or other middle east country in turmoil. Leave that to the infidels in Europe and North America.

What happened to Pan-Arab-ism?

Gamal Nasser must be spinning in his grave.

Soon they wont have any money to take any new foreigner at all. Another 10 years perhaps.

Yup, the Saudis aren't taking many refugees and so the Iraqi and Syrians refugees are fleeing where? To Europe not to their fellow Arab/ Muslim brothers. Meanwhile the King and his family continue to plunge into the reserve currency fund, which at present extraction levels will be pretty much dried up in 3 years. This is assuming they dont have to start a real conflict with ISIS in the near future and can keep things to bullying the poor Yemenis. Last figures I saw the reserve currency fund was down to 660 billion of which they had dripped into 82 billion so far this year as of last month. I assume that they will hit around 150 billionish by the end of the year. Oil at 40-50 dollars a barrel and as the US retools its rigs we can turn the majority of them back on at 60 per barrel, so its just a matter of time a few years before the real SH#t hits the fan here. But yes its shameful that these countries are so weak that they arent helping their so-called own fellow Arabs and that these folks would rather flee to the wicked West than head down south to Saudi, Qatar, UAE etc. When the refugees hit 3 million and not 300,000 and Europeans come to realize how bad this is going to get. It will be interesting to watch the EU's often disorganized and slow responses to something like this. But yes, for the price of housing the KING for a week at the Four Seasons in DC. One could sure help a lot of ones fellow Muslim refugees for a while.

How many refugees are being taken in by the US ? The UK is not cooperating with other EU countries.

The moral high ground has been taken by Berlin.

From the comments of:

"International Asylum Laws state the first country you arrive in is your legal asylum state.. They did this so people wouldn't be wandering around the world like theses folks..
America is the only country that offers asylum to anyone from anywhere every day of the week... The refugees are Syrian, Pakistani and Afghan in that order.. The gulf states have always refused Pakistani's to immigrate to their countries, they have their own N word for them and those that get work visa's are delegated to being servants, Afghans aren't even considered for work visa's.
Period..
Now the first countries they arrived in was Turkey and Greece and they were promptly told to move on, then they went to Hungary and were told to move on, Austria was next and they were told to move on, after about two months of putting up with them, the German's will tell them to move on.. Then they can go north to Denmark and Sweden. But don't despair, the ones that converted to Christianity will be alright, because by Christmas they'll all be at the North Pole and Santa is always hiring in December...."

American has accepted 1,500 Syrians, but keep in mind that America has had millions of economic refugees from Mexico and Central America as well as Asia. While there aren't many jihadis among them (yet), this "swarm" includes cartel gang members who have decapitated far more than the jihadis.

A stable ME is the only solution, but that won't happen anytime soon, if ever.

David Cameron is caught between a rock and a hard place : he has the impossible challenge of distinguishing between economic migrant and genuine refugee. Britain has already received 330,000 migrants in the last 12 months.

In most respects, Britain's response to the Syrian crisis - spending 900 million pounds to fund refugee camps for those fleeing the violence - is exactly right. Temporarily housing people, in the knowledge that they will be needed to rebuild their country when the war is over is logical. The alternative, encouraging migrants to make the journey to Europe, only increases the risk of further loss of life and helps to line the pockets of people smugglers.

This cannot continue. The tide of migrants must be tackled at source. Responsibility for that rests with Europe, America and the wealthy Gulf States.

And this week we can expect Cameron to announce airstrikes against Syria.

Given Hod's previous utterances, I'd say those chaps were just his cup of tea!

The idea that we should invite refugees to stay bei uns is daft. By all means let them in, house and feed them, but they are not watching "Coronation Street" in my billet !

Gambling is an activity for the godless unbeliever. I will not take up the offer.
