I'm with you on that opinion.

 

Too many people act as though it's a very easy decision. It's not. It'll have an impact on many people for the generations to come.

 

I just hate how Saudi Arabia won't even accept any of them. Shows how disgusting of a country Saudi Arabia is. To think they won't even help their own fellow brothers and sisters. 

 

besides, the migrants would be accustomed to Saudi Arabia's laws much quicker if you think about it. They follow Islam, many Syrian refugees/immigrants do as well, easy transition

Well, to be fair the loyalty of Saudi Arabia's leaders is to the people of Saudi Arabia.  These refugees are not their "brothers and sisters" just because they are of similar ethnicity.  Any more than Germans are my brothers and sisters to be very blunt.  Not saying Saudi Arabia is perfect, not even close.  And yes, they are isolationist in many ways.  But while some say that's stupid or "selfish", I find the emphasis on globalism at the expense of national interests far more stupid.  The leaders of a country should think of their people first qnd foremost, it is to them they have a responsibility, not some group hundreds or thousands of miles away.  

In the case of Germany, I think their policy needs review.  They openly admit they can't handle this free flow of migrants so freaking stop it.  Enforce some form of screening.  You know, like what most countries used to do.  They openly admit these migrants are a huge security risk, doing nothing about it is just...foolish.  Merkel's responsibility is to Germany first, Migrants second.

The reason I said they're brothers and sisters is because Islam has a strong emphasis on helping the poor, especially if it's poor Muslims.

 

considering how Saudi Arabia always brings islam first, it's shocking to see them ignore one of the pillars of islam- charity. Whether one agrees with islam or not is irrelevant- it's the fact that they only care about islam when it benefits them that makes it an issue.
