The world is facing the most serious humanitarian catastrophe since the end of World War II. Twenty million people are at risk of starving to death in Yemen, Somalia, Nigeria and South Sudan. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump is responding by slamming the door on refugees and cutting aid funding while proposing a massive expansion of the U.S. military.

These are Muslim nations. Why aren’t other Muslim nations coming to their rescue? It ain’t freaking Trump’s fault.

Why aren’t the Opecker princes sharing their wealth to feed and house their fellow Muslims?

Oh, they want us to feed, cloth and shelter them over there and then in America and Europe.

To use food to make fuel when people are starving to death is WRONG

Saudi Arabia is spending billions to spread Islam throughout the world but won’t help starving Islamic people in Africa.

Neither should the American government send any kind of aid to those who not only wish us dead, but want to take over this nation.

These stupid bleeding hearted lefties should go over there and "help" those whom they want the rest of us to feed/fatten up and give them succor.

The world has dumped trillions of dollars on Africa and they STILL can’t feed their own people. Their problems are of their own creation and not our responsibility.

"Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain have plenty of cash...they could help out. Maybe charity isn't an islam thing. "

I don't think they care for Black Muslims.

I’d try to save Venezuela first, Hell I’d save North Korea before I’d invest a minute on a Muslim.
Their Men are leaving their families by the hundreds of thousands on a Jihad to kill us, and those folks they left behind are NOT my responsibility, I take no joy in their circumstance and I offer no assistance or grief for their plight, they need but send an old fashioned letter, to tell Daddy, Husband, Brother (whatever) to come home and take care of them ...
When they decide to do that ... I will help, I will help those here to LEAVE to go home to their families.
Otherwise I predict in a few years, fertilizer is gonna get real cheap and wild Hogs will be overfed

And who are you to tell other people how they can or cannot use their property? There is a name for people like that. They’re called socialists. if they start aggresively relieving you of your hard earned property then they’re called communists.

*** “South Sudan is not a Muslim nation” ***

They need AMMO not food, they have 6% of their population trying to kill them.
They need Pigs, lots of them and Dogs too.

JMHO

For the same reason none of them fight their own wars when they can get stupid Dhimmis to do their fighting for them. Western civilization is under assault - racially, culturally, and religiously by Islamist savages from within and without and by treasonous pandering fifth columnists from within like Merkel and her EU allies in Europe and western media, educational institutions and religious elites in the United States and Europe.

Starvation due to political decisons of their Muslim governments. We could take in all their refugees and these same governments would just create more. We have three logical choices and non of them good.

Let them starve in their home country.
Bring them to our nations and have the hell of their ideology explode in our nations.
Destroy their leadership and then own all their problems. This did not work to good in Iraq or Afghanistan.

However there is a forth option. Do nothing unless they are an existential threat to us at which time destroy them. Once you have wiped one nation off the face of the earth other nations have a tendency not bother you.

Let’s deport Planned Parenthood to those countries for some population control. They multiply like flies.
