Arabs should protect refugees

We are treating the symptoms of the disease and not the cause in Syria.

Since most of these people are Arab Muslims, why don’t the rich Middle Eastern countries like Saudi Arabia and Dubai build some towns to house these people instead of ski resorts in the desert?

Why don’t countries get together and get rid of ISIS and the Syrian government?

Because of this inactivity and cowardice, all Europe will suffer, always waiting for disaster to happen. Politicians take the easy way out, which becomes the difficult way later. I tend to agree with Donald Trump that people in government are highly inadequate to say the least.
