Re refugee crisis: isn't it a disgrace that the oil-rich Arabs and Muslims don't take care of their own?
Why should the West have to take care of them? What about the wealthy Arabian countries and Iran?

I suspect, although I cannot prove, that most of the nations in the Middle East are all too familiar with what has happened as a result of the Palestinian refugees, who after more than 50 years still have not been resettled. They look upon this crisis as a permanent one, not a temporary one. Additionally, religious intolerance is rife there, with Shia unwilling to accept Sunni, Sunni unwilling to accept Shia, and Wahabbis unwilling to accept anyone.
Of course the Palestinian refugee crisis was permanent because those Arab states chose to make it permanent. The Palestinians could have easily been absorbed into their countries if it had been allowed. Many of them were relatively recent immigrants to the Holy Land themselves, like in the case of Abu Nidal.
The Syrian refugees would be a lot better fit in other Arab countries than in the West. The Arabian states never have enough workers. Do you suppose they prefer the infidels they import from Asia to co-religionists, maybe for being more docile?
