Just to add, but a lot of responsibility is being dumped on western nations who are acting out of humanity. But no one is mentioning the complete failure of extremely rich and near by Muslim nations from doing anything (Saudi Arabia, Iran, UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Singapore). Countries with the same underpinning religion as a majority of refugees won't even accept them, and this really shows their own values. For humanities sake, we accept refugees, but don't be a fool and think its going to go well.
- hasenj 10y agoOT nitpicking but Singapore is neither nearby nor culturally similar.
- FreedomToCreate 10y agoYeah you are right. I meant to write Malaysia which is a Sunni Muslim nation.
- hasenj 10y agoStill geographically far and culturally different. Although sharing religion does create some familiarity but in reality I don't think the culture is similar.
- jb613 10y agowhat is culture other than behaviors, beliefs, values? In those respects, Malaysia is much more similar than any European or western country.
- nommm-nommm 10y ago>Saudi Arabia, Iran, UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Singapore Singapore? Singapore doesn't belong on that list.
- mrow84 10y agoNon-western countries also take large numbers of refugees: "Turkey hosts 2.5 million refugees from Syria, more than any other country worldwide Lebanon hosts approximately 1.1 million refugees from Syria which amounts to around one in five people in the country Jordan hosts approximately 635,324 refugees from Syria, which amounts to about 10% of the population Iraq where 3.9 million people are already internally displaced hosts 245,022 refugees from Syria Egypt hosts 117,658 refugees from Syria" https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2016/02/syrias-refugee-crisis-in-numbers/ https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2016/02/syrias-refuge...
- FreedomToCreate 10y agoI know, its the Gulf countries that are the main culprits.
