Persian Gulf Muslim States Have Accepted No Syrian Refugees

While the United States and Europe argue over how many Syrian refugees to allow in, the richest Persian Gulf states have accepted exactly zero.

The Muslim countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council that include Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and United Arab Emirates steadfastly refuse to accept any Syrian refugees. Amnesty International, USA (AIUSA) tells The Daily Caller News Foundation they have not accepted a single refugee since the armed Syrian conflict erupted years ago.

“The Gulf States have accepted zero refugees registered with the United Nations and administered through the U.N. resettlement program. They have accepted zero,” Geoffrey Mock, the Syrian country coordinator for AIUSA, tells TheDCNF.

As long as they accept zero, we should accept...

Zero.

So much for religious solidarity. So much for one of the Pillars of Islam. To say that the incredibly rich of these countries haven't the financial capacity to honor Zakāt is a lie of the highest magnitude.

They're willing to pay for the cost to build mosques, though. That's something isn't it?

Why should they when you have morons like obama begging for them to come to this broke country! The Gulf countries know they are timebombs who will need to be supported until they go on their rampage. Obama wants them here and will feed, house and cloth them so they vote democrat and if they kill a few Americas obama could care less. He is an evil man and all obama supporters are worse. Obama supporters are not fit to breath the same air a good Americans and are the worst of the worst the dregs of society.
