Cairo (AFP) - Egyptian billionaire Naguib Sawiris has offered to buy an island off Greece or Italy and develop it to help hundreds of thousands of people fleeing from Syria and other conflicts.

How can you expect to expand the Caliphate doing that?
Why not make a safe haven in Libya?
Makes sense. Wonder how many countries would object to those islands being under an Egyptians control. Would it be a private island or part of a country?

Who knows? Maybe with a little luck it would tip over.
Name me one Muzzie refugee who ever "went back".
According to the article, he’s offering to buy a deserted island from one of the nations, build infrastructure on it and keep it private.
Heck, he could probably afford to by Greece itself, these days. s/
I think it’s a splendid idea, and if done right, could be a shining example. Think of the engineering teaching opportunities for Syrians who’d eventually like to fix Syria.
If TX had islands, I’d jump at the chance to design the biosphere, even if were only to become a tourist attraction.
""Name me one muzzie refugee who ever "went back".""
Back to stay or back for additional training?

Sounds like a better idea than having these refugees spread all over Europe.
Really one of the very first productive ideas out of the Muslim world I have ever heard.
The first, for me.
I’m already drilling horizontally the holes across the chosen isle in my mind for infrastructure: a desal plant is the first thing to build outside the CNG power plants.
Hmmmmmmm? Kinda sounds like when the Germans tried to get France to give them Madagascar to resettle the Jews? There has to be more to this.
“Who knows? Maybe with a little luck it will tip over”.
It is not Guam.
I bet if got a few dozen Seals on the case...
