Why can't all the surrounding Arab nations work together to help out their own people? I know the counter argument is is that "we" broke the mid east this current time, the mid east has been a broken craphole thought history, but this time western powers displacing Saddam sorts started this whole domino effect.
Regardless why can't Arab nations pitch in more, why is this becoming Europe's problem? Not really the main point of this thread, but still wondering.
Because Muslims like Christians are separated into two major sects that sometimes can work with each other and other times fight each other. Right now, it's the latter, as the Saudis dislike the Iranians and vice versa as one example.
Essentially, religous civil war was being at held back by brutal dictators that we have toppled and now a huge power vacuum exists in the Middle East with all kinds being taken.
Europe is just a causality due to its proximity to the millions of people fleeing violence and/or destroyed homes.
Good points I haven't gave the silly Sunni Shia nonsense much of a thought. Shame for that. I'm not much of a fan of organized religion in general and I find that from what I've been reading and researching Islam in particular is especially garbage. Perfect example from this post here.
Nonsense? It's one of the main factors in the violence in the Middle East.
your answer was something that I already understand. My comment was a little more wishful thinking I still think that a littl neighborly love should apply. I couldn't image us here in the USA standing by if Canada or Mexico were having these same kinds of issues and waiting for someone a whole region away to step up and contribute.
Why didn't England take in the Irish hordes? Why didn't Switzerland or Austria take in the Italian hordes. Why didn't Germany take in the Polish hordes. Why didn't Finland take in all of Ukraine's persecuted Jewish hordes?
Arabs are not obligated to take in refugees from other nations just because the refugees are fellow Arabs.
Be reasonable here. The west destabilized the Arab world. Not peaceful Arab countries. You're holding them to a standard that no one else has ever been obligated to uphold.
Most of us 1st world countries DON'T want Arab Muslims either. Christian Arabs I'd be MUCH more likely to let in.
England and so on: Probably because they didn't want a bunch of possible troublemakers. I'm of Irish family and, we def had a VERY bad rep as late as the 20th Century. The "Jew" thing DOES bother me because Jews have many GOOD habits, not all are slimy creeps.

But shouldn't it also be a matter of perspective as Canada hasn't intervened regardless of the fact that the U.S. has "liberally" allowed perhaps over 20 million illegals to enter and thrive while they have committed more violent crime than any terrorist or ethnic minority?
Perhaps Europe doesn't see themselves as the victim you perceive them to be given their opportunity to look at what's been happening in the U.S. and comparing stats.
Liberals are now claiming their European paradise is now "right wing". Wow.
They can't make up thier minds. Europe is either a Liberal Utopia, or evil white Colonist who deserve what they get. This is really the way the Liberal mind works
Saw this article on MSN today. We here in America tend to hold Europe up to some hyper-liberal utopia of kind hearted all accepting bastion of how humanity should be. At least some people here tend to think that.
With all of the issues with refugees flooding Europe those once "nice" countries are apparently starting to get a little nasty as the article is indicating.
Why is it that when we talk about controlling our borders here and controlling who comes in and out of the country segments of our society start to label us here as "xenophobic" but when those "better than us" people in Europe start to do it, the silence becomes deafening???

yeah, I literally laughed out loud when I saw that post saying they are right wingers. Lol. Still grinning over here.
I'm a moderate slightly to the left kinda guy and I constantly bust on the far left and right.
