The Question No One Answers

There was an international debate today.   There were people from every continent.  They were talking about refugees.   There was a gentleman from Poland who was being castigated because his country was not an open door.

The usual politically correct ‘liberals’ were going after him as if he had committed a heinous crime.

Then a chap, a Muslim, in the audience, spoke.

He interrupted the attack on European nations, and mentioned that Saudi Arabia takes in zero migrants.  Muslim Saudi Arabia has accepted NO Muslims.

Before everyone could grasp that Fact; which has never been hidden, he mentioned  that there are one hundred thousand air conditioned tents, which can easily house over three million people.  There are kitchen and toilet facilities enough to easily accommodate those three million people.

But there are no people. The tents are empty.   They are empty except for five days a year.

This tent city is  in the city of Mina.   It goes for over twenty square kilometers.  As mentioned before,  the tents are used only five days in the year.   They are used by the  Hajj pilgrims.   For five days in a year, those who are making the pilgrimage to Mecca can stay here.

But for three hundred and sixty days, the tents are empty.

It would not be any dislocation for these tents to be used to provide shelter for most of the four million Syrian refugees.  The refugees who have gained that status because of the  civil war, which, has been proven more than once to be funded by Saudi Arabia.

Saudi Arabia is not on Trump’s list.  But Saudi Arabia is the main funder and armer of almost all the jihadist groups.  The groups which caused the civil war.   The groups which maintain the war.

When the man finished speaking, the audience shifted a little, and it was mentioned, almost embarrassingly, that other wealthy Arab nations like Qatar and Kuwait and others have taken in precisely zero Syrian refugees.

In comparison, Lebanon, which is poor and suffering  has accepted over one million refugees.

The hypocrisy in expecting European Christian nations to take refugees while Arab Muslim nations slam their doors, despite having the space and money to take care of them, only emphasises the hypocrisy which stalks the world today.
