My (probably unpopular) opinion on arab refugees

Tis the normal pattern with migrations. The Irish emigrants did the same thing in the 19th century.

I'm particularly thinking of Saudi fucking Arabia on this one. Without getting into a geography/sunni/shia discussion, why aren't particular countries taking in the members of their preferred faith?

Some are, but many are not.

I saw a video a while back that had an Arab woman excoriating Saudi Arabia over this. She pointed out that if there were 10 Americans in trouble, the United States would send a carrier group, but the Saudis see hundreds of thousands in trouble and can't be moved to do anything.

And I also think it's idiotic for Germany to have let so many in wholesale. The problems are going to reverberate throughout that nation well until after every person now living is dead.

Because the al Sauds don't want anybody who's not full on deifier of Wahhab. They've enough trouble exterminating the non-Wahhabs in their own country to be inviting in more.

Why is it important? I am from Costa Rica.

So you're of immigrant stock. You should be mad at your own family for not staying in Castille y Leon then.
