Quote:The thing nobody seems to want to talk about with this situation is the fact that these "refugees" could have just as easily gone to other wealthy Arab countries in the region, but they didn't even see that as an option.  Why do you think that is? 

I'd also like to point a few numbers out to you:

 

The US has taken in 1,500 Syrian refugees.

 

Turkey, which is between Europe and the Middle East and shares a border with Syria, has taken in almost two million. Lebanon, a Middle Eastern nation that shares a border with Syria, has taken in over one million. Jordan has taken in over 600,000. Iraq 250,000, almost certainly including some of those ISIS boogeymen you love to blab about jihading the world or whatever. Egypt has taken in over 100,000. The United Arab Emirates, one of those "wealthy Arab nations" you brought up, has taken in 250,000 refugees.

 

So, please, carry on about how all the Syrian refugees are headed to Europe and the US as a form of jihad. Ignore the fact that other Middle Eastern countries continue to take in the bulk of them. Whatever backs your "Islam vs. the world" agenda, right?
