Why doesn't Saudi, UAE, Qatar and Iran take refugees

Why didn't Obama stop the bombing of Syria?

Iran is one of the causes for the violence in Syria, so why don't they accept refugees?

By that logic, you could argue a lot of countries are involved but they are not directly involved. And I like how you selectively addressed Iran but ignored Saudia Arabia, UAE, Qatar etc. Didn't have an answer to those countries now did you?

Again, I would like to hear from the same people who are criticizing the refugee ban to address why it's okay for the other Islamic countries to not accept refugees? Why haven't you expressed the same fervor toward that issue?

Please explain the double standard. So far reasons alluding to culture don't make sense when you can apply the same logic to this country.

Here is another link to such a map. Study it, and get back to us.

The United States doesn't border Syria either. Are you really arguing that Iran and the countries in the Middle East could not arrange for safe transport to their countries. That is really a weak excuse and response.
