Since no comment in one year….allow me to answer my own question …….(there are other other contributing answers too)
Downfall the oil producing countries unknowingly faced ……with all the funds flowing freely …..made the community lazy to think …plan ….discover …. create …etc
In fact it stunts all our talents …hidden genius …..and growth
I see a repeat …elsewhere …..Americans and Canadians are carried along by …exceptional funds still pouring in for decades from Coca Cola …m/ soft Windows
….a thousand Frank sinatras etc …..you can name some ….they are all
Good for the country as long as we don’t become complacent …..and forget to do our personal thing …..

Saudi Arabia hosts 2 million of syrian refugees living here peacefully, getting monthly salaries without working and recieving all the services out of charge.

Ya Akhi, It is haram for a muslim to to say a bad thing about a whole country without making sure it is true.I am Saudi citizen living in Saudi Arabia, and from here I confirm to you that Saudi Arabia took 2 million of syrian refugees living here peacefully, taking monthly salary without working plus getting all the services free of charge.

It is accepted today that whatever a person/nation/group/family does, prays for,
Contributes to, asks for, constantly thinks about, works towards, etc etc
They will eventually receive
I now beg for an answer as to what my beloved Islamic brothers of which I
Had the most gentle of school friends ……my best friends were Muslim
I in fact had more Muslim friends than of my own Anglican
I never saw any Muslim fight or argue or being ugly at school

Why oh why …..do they suffer now?

But I am surprised nobody is talking about the real issue here. How did we have the refugee crisis in the first place? It’s because the world ignored the Assad and Daesh situation and now things have gotten out of hand.

This is not the first time the world had to deal with refugee. We all know what happens to refugees. Unfortunately majority of them end up living in tents, their kids have no future. They are the first one to be blamed if something goes wrong in the country. Unfortunately discrimination based on culture and language has become very common and people are very intolerant of ‘foreign’ things.

So we let the refugees move in to different places, then what? How long are they going to stay? (Unless you’re assuming that Assad and Daesh will just stop and back down) Are they going to live in a makeshift home for this unknown length of time? What about schools, hospitals and employment for the refugees? Will they even be able to work? (since they are already traumatized) What if there is increase in the crime rate because of poverty? These things require a lot of planning by the government.

The best solution is obviously the long-term solution. Refugees never leave their counties by will, they leave because things have no other option. The best way, in my opinion, is to help them in their own homes and end the war by diplomacy or by force. The countries in power should do everything they can to stop the war in Syria and then help the people financially so they can rebuild their countries.

Izzah, I didn’t make this up for fun. I didn’t single out your beloved Singapore. This is straight from Amnesty Internatkonal’s report and you will find the exact reference in the footnotes. You didn’t feel bad quoting me stating the fact that Singapore has a per capita income THREE TIMES that of the OECD average to make a point that Singapore is overpopulated? What about all the Chinese they allow to constantly overpopulated the city in the name of commerce and profit? They can’t accommodate even 100 refugees? I’m disappointed in your comment.

Finally some one that knows what they are talking about and actual footnotes to back up your words. This is a very close personal concern of mine as my “man” lives in Damascus and will be attempting to get out of Syria this month with an unknown destination. If all goes well I hope to join him if my health lets me next year, when he has found a place of acceptance.

Why is it that music uses common notes while in transition
to new key structures and consequently modulate accordingly
to the rules of transposing from one key to the next.
What would the prophet Abraham say to all the relations that
continue to perch their speech disregarding rules of traditional harmony
while music theory holds the prelude of Abraham and the branches of
key changes throughout history utilizing the common threads of humanity
as notes on the scales of life.
Look at speech and the dynamics within the lines and spaces while God implores
peace and blessings upon all the prophets!
The article is well cadenced.

“Singapore, which has an impressively strong per capita income of $85,198, well over three times the OECD per capita average, has shown absolutely no interest in accommodating Syrian refugees.”

As a Singaporean, it saddens me that you have cited us as an example with no basis other than PCI. We are also one of the MOST densely populated cities in the world. Overpopulation is a very real problem for Singapore. In future when using examples, please think about it from all sides of the story, not just one perspective.

That being said, I am happy that you chose to point out this very real problem, Syrian, Rohingyan and other refugees of the world. May He bless your efforts in helping enlighten other people to the truth of the matter.
