Why do people think that Muslim countries have not take Syrian refugees?

They have. The five biggest havens for the Syrian War are all Arabic nations. Lebanon has increased its population by about a third whereas rich first world countries moan about taking thousands. Some Muslim countries could do more; such as Saudi Arabia, which is the West's greatest ally in the region. This is a humanitarian crisis and for me people are people irrespective of skin colour or religion.

It is disturbing that we balk at taking a few thousand when countries far poorer than ours are sacrificing to take in so many more. I believe that you are correct though. If they were white, specifically white Christians, we would have opened our hearts and doors to far, far more.
The U.S. happily took in white Muslims by the hundreds without batting an eye in the 1990s. But people have forgotten all about Kosovo.

It was between you and Bijoux. Well done.

@LesDeplorable: Funny nobody was bitching in the 90s when it was white muslims fleeing yet another country the west was bombing that they could not find on a map a week before.

Bosnia and Kosovo later. Funny how skin colour changed the rules in terms of public opinion.

The problem is you just make assumptions the terror attacks are carried out by the same people. That is factually wrong. And consider this. Are you positive it is really that many people are being raped compared to other mass migrations or is it just the 24/7 news cycle making it look that way. Remember previous migrations of refugees even from Christian nations brought us such noble institutions as the Cosa Notra and the IRA in North America. I mean if you got your impression of the USA just from the news coverage you would think it was overrun by marauding black men even though stats show a 20 year decline in violent crime but something like a 600% increase in news coverage.

It is not exactly a secret what has been going on and neither is the discontent over Merkel's handling of things in Germany but she is just as much a puppet as any other figurehead in the EU.

So it is factual because the facts don't matter. That is positively Orwellian.

Those are just the circus of the day. I am talking an overall 20 year trend. How do you think a woman who murdered her own children could get away with it for so long and have law enforcement all over the US looking for non existent black intruders. And anyone who thinks any of this is left wing is dead from the neck up including 99% of the faux "new left" which are just neo cons with different bullshit to justify their actions.

You do realize that is a contradictory statement.

And you are the one that stated that me pointing out your facts were wrong was irrelevant.

It just proves that if false perception can have law enforcement who are supposed to be in the know running around on a wild goose chase it would be child's play to use the same manufactured world view to push a political agenda not supported by reality. The main agenda being creating a new boogie man for the next war.

Yes. It has been proven that it is factual. But I guess you think all brown muslims are the same so you can't see the distinction.

It is the fact that based on a stereotype they chased their tails looking for intruders that never existed and the facts did not support.

I am saying news coverage is used to influence the lemmings which judging by your analysis is working.

Lol. And anyone who thinks it is the left is brain dead and accepts the media narrative without any independent thought whatsoever. If you think Clinton is left wing I might die of laughter.

And Trump did it to himself. Anyone who thinks quoting Mussolini on the campaign trail is a good idea is as bad a politician as he is a businessman.

@LesDeplorable: In regards to the word "fact", I do not think that word means what you think it means. For example, your claim that refugees commit more crime than the general population, actually has been disproven, which oddly enough, makes it NOT a fact. Germany has done extensive research on immigrants and crime, which makes a lot of sense. They actually took in over 1 million immigrants. According to the Bundeskriminalamt, immigrants actually commit far LESS crime then the general population. The crimes they do commit are mostly petty crimes; things like not paying for public transportation or minor shoplifting. However, an interesting facet of their report involved WHICH immigrants commit crime. Syrian refugees don't commit crimes. White Europeans and North Africans are committing crimes. Fascinating.

@LesDeplorable: Sigh. German Government data show that despite a 440 percent increase in migrants, crime among that group only increased by 79 percent last year. A report released by the German Federal Office of Criminal Investigation in November 2015 found that over the period January–September 2015, the crime rate of refugees was the same as that of native Germans.

@LesDeplorable: But I would love to know where you are getting those numbers from.
@LesDeplorable: Without total numbers that can be deceiving too. I mean where I live in Canada is the "murder capital" but we have about 30 murders a year so 3 people make up %10 of the entire number of murders in town. But if you just give percentages you can make it look much more severe.
