Europe's migrant problem - Page 14

My only comment for the German attitude on the current desaster, is this: Insanity.

http://german.about.com/library/blgzauberl.htm

If madness rules and all hope for reason is lost, when lies get worshipped and telling the truth makes you an enemy of the state, when people do not know and do not want to know who they are and where they came from but nevertheless waste all resources to run ever faster, then all you can do in your life is to find something that is yours, carefully hide it from all world, and make that your refugium where you can hold out. Glad the one is who not only sees the need to find such a thing, but who actually finds it indeed.

I am so much done with this German people and society and state and EU and all that political BS. I'm sick of it. Europe will get what it deserves, and it won't be pretty. The self-deconstruction is home-made, the cause is megalomania and self-glorification, denial of economic realities and incompetence in understanding the nature of finances.

It all reminds of the building of the tower of Babel, and how it ended. It was a just end, and I do not feel tempted anymore to try to help avoiding this justice. After all, the various concepts of justice all include the implication that a certain consequence suffered by or brought upon the deliquent, is deserved.

And here we were thinking, that Saudi-Arabia wouldn't help in this refugees-crisis.

Please tell me that's a joke.

Saudi Arabia has offered to build 200 mosques in Germany for Syrian refugees who have fled to Europe.

Sounds like Saudi Arabia has gone all Nimby.

True, but why the offer? Nimby's.

I like this comment to the article

As I brought up before, this makes sense within the political contest. Whether or not they're supporters of Assad or Iran, and whether or not they want to go to Europe or they're just trying to escape somewhere safe - Saudis view Syrians as a tricky gamble. Their conclusion from the Arab Spring is that they don't want any people "spoiled" by socialism upsetting their traditionalist society. So hey, of course they're going to want to "traditionalize" them first - in Europe, preferably.

Let me guess our two crusaders for humanity are probably sipping tea and crumpets and the other indulging in some tapas and wine for a snack. Talking of great societies, peace, brotherly love, patience, and tolerance. Mocking those who are living something different than your own. Taking egreat exception to others frustration of crisis that is quickly turning into a complete 'Charlie Foxtrot'. They're nazis, mad I say, just look at them!

Just a reminder for you great humanitarians. BRITAIN, an island, closed the tunnel off and said it would only take in 20,000 Syrian refugees by the end of the current Parliament's term in 2020.

Spain, hardly an option for refugees since its surrounded by water and a mountain range. How many have made it to your shores? None. Only after being pressured has 'the city of hugs' taken in a mere 2,800 refugees.

Hardly the burden you seem expect others to bear with all brotherly love and tolerance. I imagine if either of your two countries were anticipating 800,000 refugees this year alone. You too would be frustrated ranting on about screwed up things are.

About the Saudis and the mosques. Don't send any to Slovenia, the way our construction busineses operate, 2/3 of the bricks will end up in summer homes for the managers

Wise words, you should apply them to yourself.

And as someone who's grown up in poverty in a collapsing country, and was then forced to leave it and can't even return to it for political reasons, believe me, I've walked the talk. And I don't know what country you assume I live in, because we have the highest proportion of foreign-born residents and citizens of any large state in the world. Or what contact I have with refugees and immigrants, considering I live in a neighbourhood that is predominantly Somali and Pakistani, and work with a lot of people from the Middle East at work - many of whom fled from places like Iran, Iraq, Palestine and Syria for reasons beyond their control. Let alone anything else you assume about my experience or place in life. Plus, I've not touched wine or any other alcohol for years now, nor have I ever had a crumpet

Oh yes, I do indeed pity those poor, poor frustrated racists.
