Strange how one Muslim Country will not help it's fellow Muslims
« on: September 11, 2015, 06:37:56 AM »
This is a very interesting article about Saud Arabia having all these empty air conditoned tents, that are only used 5 days per year.  Yet they will not help the Syrian refuges.

A not-unreasonable explanation of the current situation.

The Gulf countries, the wealthiest states among the Arab world, are among the largest donors to Syrian refugees. But they do not take in refugees to their own countries: none of them officially recognize the legal concept of refugeehood. This is not a specific issue of hostility to Syrian refugees: the six Gulf monarchies have never signed the international conventions on refugee rights and statelessness, which began to be established after the Second World War. - See
