Put pressure on rich Gulf states so as to make them start accepting refugees!
As a Muslim who persistently sees and hears about the plight of innumerable refugees who have fled to countries that they perceive would give them asylum, it comes as a surprise to find out that no rich Gulf (so-called Muslim) state has opened their doors to but not a single refugee! Time 4 change!
The facts are that: Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, etc, have accepted but 0 refugees!
These rich gulf states may make excuses such as that they send lots of aid money, etc; however, would they concede that their aid could fall into the hands of terrorists, or be used up by greedy governments who would but give little to nothing to their citizens, and how if they are allowed just to flee to Europe they may lose their deen (faith or religion) and bring about the rise of nationalism/bigotry?
