What Pisses Me Off About The European Migrant Crisis

I was amazed seeing so many Westerners turning on Eastern Europeans for being "racist".Ofcourse,that was a leftist forum,so it's not really a general thing i guess.

Changing the demographics of your country for some vague "congratulations" from foreigners is insanity. Romania must realize that imperialism comes in various forms and that imperialism must be opposed no matter who carries it out, whether Europe or Africa.

All nations involved directly or indirectly in Syria should take in the Syrian refugees, this obviously includes UK, USA, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Russia, UAE and many many more.

I don't think its fair to throw all the reprehensibility of hosting refugees to Europe. The general mood of Europeans is that of exhausted with immigration but despite what you may think they still treat refugees as human beings.

Where are the people who cry about Ummah gone? Saudia Arabia has plenty of cash to build religious schools to spread its dogma but won't allow their fellow Arab and fellow Muslims?

The problem is not the refugees, the absolute majority are victims of NATO/GCC Axis crimes. That is the root of the problem. And guess what. Have you read in mainstream UK media about the cause of the refugees such as the financing of Al Nusra/ ISIS? I haven't found anything in our mainstream media.

NO!

That fat treacherous cow Merkel just gave a speech about the refugee crisis this morning in the parliament. she had the face not to mention even once what was the cause of the crisis.

Contrary to what some European leaders and media houses would have us believe, the crisis unfolding in the Mediterranean is mostly about refugees. The majority of the men, women and children are reportedly from Syria, Eritrea and Afghanistan — countries plagued by civil war, gross human rights violations and religious insurgency. This is not to suggest that no migrants are trying to reach Europe in search of a better life than that offered in their home country. Indeed, much of the displaced populations from Sub-Saharan Africa are migrants. Nevertheless, by using the expression ‘migrant crisis’ to broadly refer to the entire spectrum of the ongoing crisis in the Mediterranean, European leaders and media houses are trying to desensitise the public at large by misleading them about the real nature of the crisis unfolding therein.

Indeed. WOuld have been nice if the author had been more specific about which European leaders he was referring to.

» Saudi Arabia Has 100,000 Air Conditioned Tents That Can House 3 Million People Sitting Empty Yet Has Taken Zero Refugees Alex Jones' Infowars: There's a war on for your mind!

While European countries are being lectured about their failure to take in enough refugees, Saudi Arabia – which has taken in precisely zero migrants – has 100,000 air conditioned tents that can house over 3 million people sitting empty.

The sprawling network of high quality tents are located in the city of Mina, spreading across a 20 square km valley, and are only used for 5 days of the year by Hajj pilgrims. As the websiteAmusing Planet reports, “For the rest of the year, Mina remains pretty much deserted.”

The tents, which measure 8 meters by 8 meters, were permanently constructed by the Saudi government in the 1990’s and were upgraded in 1997 to be fire proof. They are divided into camps which include kitchen and bathroom facilities.

The tents could provide shelter for almost all of the 4 million Syrian refugees that have been displaced by the country’s civil war, which was partly exacerbated by Saudi Arabia’s role infunding and armingjihadist groups.

However, as theWashington Post reports, wealthy Gulf Arab nations like Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait and others have taken in precisely zero Syrian refugees. Although Saudi Arabia claims it has taken in 500,000 Syrians since 2011, rights groups point out that these people are not allowed to register as migrants. Many of them are also legal immigrants who moved there for work. In comparison, Lebanon has accepted 1.3 million refugees – more than a quarter of its population.

While it refuses to take in any more refugees, Saudi Arabia hasoffered to build 200 mosquesfor the 500,000 migrants a year expected to pour into Germany.

Saudis argue that the tents in Mina are needed to host the annual Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca, but given that the Arabic concept of Ummah is supposed to offer protection to all Muslims under one brotherhood, surely an alternative location could be found so that Mina can be repurposed to house desperate families fleeing war and ISIS persecution?

While Europe is being burdened by potentially millions of people who don’t share the same culture or religion as the host population, Gulf Arab states refuse to pull their weight, resolving only to throw money at the problem.

The likelihood of the Saudis inviting Syrian refugees to stay in Mina is virtually zero, but the thousands of empty tents serve as a physical representation of the hypocrisy shared by wealthy Gulf Arab states when it comes to helping with the crisis.
