As the debate surrounding migrants in Europe intensifies, the Gulf States continue to face harsh criticism for their refusal to accept Syrian refugees.

Unlike Lebanon and Jordan, which took in some 1.5 million Syrians so far, Gulf States like Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, and the UAE have been accused of having accepted very few, if any, asylum seekers. Human rights activists have been sternly critical of Gulf leaders, blaming them for turning their backs on their Arab brothers.

Spokespersons from dozens of organizations, from Amnesty International to Human Rights Watch, have lashed out at Saudi Arabia and its allies in the Gulf Cooperation Council for their inaction. Infographics and tweets carrying such messages proliferated on social networks over recent weeks, gaining traction and popularity.

Critics claim that demographics play a huge role in the Gulf's apathy towards refugees, since most of the Gulf economies are heavily reliant on foreign laborers.

the Moslems almost never take in their people
(right now Jordan is noteworthy for doing so, plus a couple more)

most of the time (just ask any Israeli) the Moslem governments/dictators/emirs/sheiks/kings try to foist off their people (and problems) on others (or use them as weapons of war to expand the areas of Islamic control)

The author clearly doesn’t understand that the rape-o-gees are an unarmed invasion with the clear intent of conquering by out breeding their hosts. The Western peoples are aborting their future while the muslims are not.

I’ve yet to see any MSM condemnation of the arab islamo scum refusing to take in their own kind of islamo scum.

If you follow islam, you are to be ignored...or eliminated if you pose a threat.
