Time magazine front cover story or Euro migrant crisis? That's the dichotomy of this thread.
Why don't the migrants/refugees go to Dubai or Saudi Arabia? They have shit tons of money and they're Muslims.
Why should white Christians be responsible for fixing all the world's problems?
Because the Saudis are supremacist racists and don't want them. They only import slave labor so their worthless citizens don't have to work, because the whole country is on the equivalent of tard bucks. They get free money from the government for oil and think they deserve it and that actually working is beneath them.
You may as well ask why they don't take in the Palestinians. Simple, they don't give a flying fuck about the Palestinians any more than anyone else does. They would rather have them where they are and bitch about the Jews.
Yep, AnOminous perfectly laid out why the Gulf states- Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and Oman- are such shitty places and will never lend a helping hand to their fellow Muslims- unless,
in Saudi Arabia's case, it's to build more radicalizing mosques. These countries essentially had piles and piles of cash fall into their laps, without them actually having to
do anything. In fact, America and European countries are the ones who actually taught them what to do because they didn't know the first thing about drilling for oil. And now, it's the one and only thing that supports their asses (to be fair, though, the UAE has been diversifying its economy- 71% of UAE's total GDP comes from non-oil sectors- and another Gulf country called Bahrain has now shifted focus to the banking and tourism sectors and no longer depends on oil revenue).
The other countries have their problems, but Saudi Arabia is by far the worst offender. You see, Saudis already had supremacist complexes to begin with; Saudi Arabia is the birthplace of Islam and contains its holy cities, Mecca and Medina. For the longest time, that's all Saudi Arabia had, and it was enough to earn them the respect of the entire Muslim world (I can't remember where I read this so don't quote me on it, but I read something about how until they struck oil the Saudis basically survived on the money they got from pilgrimages as well as pity money given to them by wealthy Muslim countries). So when they struck oil, they figured that it was Allah's reward for them being such good Muslims.
Ironically, the oil money has
completely stagnated Saudi Arabia's development. They believe their oil reserves are endless and so keep tossing money around without actually investing in a sustainable infrastructure or looking for other resources to invest in (which they're unlikely to find, btw; Saudi Arabia is almost entirely dead, harsh desert). None of their citizens do manual labor (because it's beneath them, of course), they just import slave labor from poor African/South Asian countries. None of their citizens train to become or work in higher professions such as medicine or engineering, they just hire Americans and Europeans to come over and do all that (from what I understand, most well-connected Saudis just work in worthless desk jobs "managing" other people for a few hours every day). Even their basic education sucks, because it's just Islamic fundamentalism being hammered into their skulls. And even though most Saudis are lazy as fuck and really don't have any good life skills, they still believe that they're the best race on Earth and look down on everyone else.
Plus, it's also important to remember that not
all the refugees are Islamic radicals or even strict Muslims. Before the civil war a lot of Syria was rather progressive in comparison to the rest of the Middle East. So there
are Syrians who respect women, value freedom of speech and religion, and fucking hate Islamic fundamentalism, especially in the government. So Saudi Arabia is the
last place they want to go. It'd be like moving to Mexico to escape drug cartels.
since there might not be enough jobs available for people who don't even have decent language skills to fit into the new country. Charity begins at home, we owe these people nothing.
