Five Of The Wealthiest Muslim Countries Have Taken No Syrian Refugees In At All, Arguing That Doing So Would Open Them Up To The Risk Of Terrorism.

Coexist, assimilation, religious tolerance…these are all foreign concepts to Muslims immigrants and Muslims living in countries who refuse to offer them refuge in their countries….

Lebanon, which has 1.1 million Syrian refugees, shut her borders to the Syrians in June of last year. Jordan, host to another 630,000, followed suit in August 2014, preventing more Syrians from abandoning their country.

Millions of Syrians have been forced to escape the never-ending civil war ravaging their country and the barbaric terror group carving a bloody trail across the Middle East.

Yet, as debate rages between politicians in Europe over how many they should take, and critics on the United States President Obama for banning islamic refugees, nearby super-wealthy Gulf nations of Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates (UAE), Qatar, Kuwait and Bahrain have refused to offer sanctuary to a single Syrian refugee.

Instead the countries, all of which are within the Top 50 list of wealthiest nations by GDP, have opted to donate aid to those affected by the crisis, arguing that accepting large numbers of Syrians is a threat to their safety, as terrorists could be hiding within an influx of people.

Sherif Elsayid-Ali, Amnesty International’s Head of Refugee and Migrants’ Rights, has slammed their inaction as “shameful”.
