Re: Why Syrians do not flee to Gulf states
i don't think you can create a homogenous country, all the countries in Asia contain people having different religions, sects and ethnicities
I agree. Dividing Iraq and Kuwait such that the west controlled Kuwait oil is an example of the division that led to Kuwait invasion in 91. Which led to Gulf wars.
The us and ussr backing led to decades of Iraq Iran war.
I am only stating the obvious. There have been external actors that have done damage.
Re: Why Syrians do not flee to Gulf states
What ever we can do...I don't think few thousand would impact us
Charity starts at home and we already have internally displaced people. Would punjab be taking them in or again another baloch "insurgency" that syrians were settled in balochistan? :D
PS I think that we already taken in a lot of arabs in the guise of alqaeda who have settled in pakistan. Arab countries have the same language and europe still has arab communities to help new migrants. I can also bet you 10G that none of the migrants want to come to Pakistan as the international image is bad; my brother was kind of surprised when a saudi during his hajj was cold towards him when he found out that he was from Pakistan in South Asia...
Re: Why Syrians do not flee to Gulf states
Who's been invading and using Arab countries' resources? Saudi? Gulf States?
Karay West, bharay Saudi and UAE?
In syria, it is the saudis and qataris and maybe even UAE who have funded the destructive "islamists" or more like wahabists.
I know that they are muslim and all, but I many times wish that these wahabbi hordes turn on these gulf rulers and teach them a lesson for betraying the actual syrians. By the time that saudis, qataris etc actually wake up would be when they would be chopping each others' head as oil / gas is too cheap or has run out and they go back to their normal selves. It would be too late for them then .
Re: Why Syrians do not flee to Gulf states
I think Kuwait has contributed more than $300 million than the richest saudis or the qataris ($143,000 highest per capita in region?) and that is still dwarfed by the $1.5 billion that the ‘indifferent’ US contributed to the syrian fund when they get all the laan taan. It reminds me of how a billionaire Zardari contributed less than a foreigner millionaire Angelina Jolie in 2010 floods.
Re: Why Syrians do not flee to Gulf states
If we consider those on working visas as refugees then there are 1.6 million Pakistani refugees in Saudia as well. KSA already home to 500,000 Syrians | Arab News

in Pakistan there are no controls what so ever, Pashtuns have increased over the years in Punjab. We could not evenkeep the afghans in their camps. I agree with you though that a lot more needs to be done for Idps as well
Re: Why Syrians do not flee to Gulf states
I have a question … Why are Assad’s forces surrounding the Opposition instead of taking back the Daesh territories?
Answer: a) The greater threat to him is from the Opposition and not from the Daesh, b) You can see clearly that Assad’s true agenda is to rid himself of the Opposition and c) He uses the advantageous side-effect of Daesh taking territories to justify falsely his continued war effort … to pacify a global audience and d) the territories currently in control of the Opposition are more significant than the Daesh territories.
Conclusion: To take Daesh out would be a distraction … Focus on helping the Opposition.

Yeah with Saudi's blessings. Isn't it ironic that Saudis and West are fighting on the same side in every Muslim country?
What are Gulf countries achieving by bombing the poorest Arab country - Yemen? Who is supposed to take care of Yeman refugees? So much for Gulf state propaganda liberating poor the Yemenis, even the nastiest of nasty right wing cheer leaders of Iraq war had now realised that USA bombing did not end any tyranny there, only turned the country into a living hellhole. If Iraqis were given an option now, they would pick the so called tyranny under Sadam, then the so called freedom brought to them by NATO bombs. Just like those nasty right wingers, people like you will also feel ashamed of yourself for supporting such barbarity of rich and powerful on a poor neighbour.
Some people may find pleasure in cheering nasty sectarian bloodshed and utter devastation in Middle East, but realise the fact every country in the world goes through internal power struggles on the basis of race, language, religion, land, etc. There will always be powerful groups fighting one another, but that doesn't give any country the right to start dropping bombs on it. The West can also bomb Gulf states or Saudis for oppressing xyz communities/thoughts/ideas.
Enough of this whole Shia bad, Sunni good BS so let's bomb the countries, kill innocent people to replace Sunnis with Shias or Shias with Sunnis....let the countries and people fight their own internal demons. Shia Sunni had peacefully co-existed in Middle East for thousands of years, it is only since the emergence of evil Saudi wahabism that sectarian differences have turned into hateful intolerance resulting in blood soaked civil wars.
If Saudis had a spine, no Western country would have dared attack an Arab country. But we are talking about an evil entity which was willing to offer Israel its airspace to attack Iran. So much for being the leader of Muslim Ummah.
Re: Why Syrians do not flee to Gulf states
no muslimummah as such,shiaummah and sunni ummah have replaced them...
Re: Why Syrians do not flee to Gulf states
Muslims had been condemning the Western world for as long as the living memory can remember. They have no problem putting the rightfully due blame on West for wrecking their countries, but it is also about time to realise that some of your own Muslim countries are just as evil as the West, and those Muslims countries had been partners of West in bringing bloodshed and destruction upon Muslim states.
I remember those innocent days when Muslim world used to look up to Saudi to play their role in resolving the Palestinian issue, but now everyone knows the ugly truth that behind every Western invasion/attack on Muslim country, there is Saudi support.
Saudi Arabia tries to take advantage of the fact that just because it is home to Islam's holiest sites, no Muslim country would dare give them the taste of their own medicine or seek any revenge, hence they are so perfectly comfortable with poking their nose and playing a destructive role in whichever Muslim country is next in the line.
Re: Why Syrians do not flee to Gulf states
Why not change your statement to ".....rather than hiring muslims and non muslims from nepal, philipine, india"?
If you are concerned for the Syrians find g a home in neighbor states, why wouod you distinguish between muslims and non muslims from India nepal etc? And why did you exclude. Pakistan from your list?
Bao has a very narrow perspective on the world. Indeed, why should poor Non-Muslims be less worthy then poor Muslims? It seems disingenuous to display empathy for the suffering of others while simultaneously making distinctions based on religion.
Re: Why Syrians do not flee to Gulf states
A bit unfair to shoot from the hip based on what western media quotes.
UAE has eased residency rules for Syrians | GulfNews.com
UAE does host a large Syrian refugee population, that has been trickling in since the conflict started. For the europeans, the exodus has just recently begun.
Not sure about Saudis, but UAE has certainly played a role. 100,000 refugees is more than 1% of UAEs entire population. Plus the fact that they have relaxed visa rules for them also speaks of their commitment.
Re: Why Syrians do not flee to Gulf states
A few days back Saudi media was claiming that 500,000 Syrian ‘refugees’ are in Saudia. The numbers have now jumped to 2.5 million. Maybe they are invisible refugees, or Saudis due to their intuition accommodated them before the war in Syria began. These figures are not quoted by international relief organizations.
2.5m Syrians hosted by KSA since uprising | Arab News
As far as UAE is concerned, the only Syrian refugees there are those with Iqama. The only thing they have done is to not cancel the visas of those having iqamas,and in some cases the families of people already there. You can call them refugees if you wish.
Re: Why Syrians do not flee to Gulf states
Now we need stamp of approval from international organization (read UN) to believe the Saudi FA ministry. Why dont you all take a tour to SA to find out the truth instead of being social media jihadi?
UN says 0 refugees in Saudi and Qatar…this is the biggest lie probably.
Re: Why Syrians do not flee to Gulf states
Wouldn't be there camps in saudia if significant syrians had shown up? So all the saw dees open their homes to 5 refugees each?
