Saudi Arabia: Has Taken Zero Refugees but has Air Conditioned Empty Tents for 3 Million People
Paul Joseph Watson from InfoWars.com reports:
While European countries are being lectured about their failure to take in enough refugees, Saudi Arabia – which has taken in precisely zero migrants – has 100,000 air conditioned tents that can house over 3 million people sitting empty.
The sprawling network of high quality tents are located in the city of Mina, spreading across a 20 square km valley, and are only used for 5 days of the year by Hajj pilgrims. As the website Amusing Planet reports, “For the rest of the year, Mina remains pretty much deserted.”
The tents, which measure 8 meters by 8 meters, were permanently constructed by the Saudi government in the 1990’s and were upgraded in 1997 to be fire proof. They are divided into camps which include kitchen and bathroom facilities.
The tents could provide shelter for almost all of the 4 million Syrian refugees that have been displaced by the country’s civil war, which was partly exacerbated by Saudi Arabia’s role in funding and arming jihadist groups.
However, as the Washington Post reports, wealthy Gulf Arab nations like Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait and others have taken in precisely zero Syrian refugees. Although Saudi Arabia claims it has taken in 500,000 Syrians since 2011, rights groups point out that these people are not allowed to register as migrants. Many of them are also legal immigrants who moved there for work. In comparison, Lebanon has accepted 1.3 million refugees – more than a quarter of its population.
While it refuses to take in any more refugees, Saudi Arabia has offered to build 200 mosques for the 500,000 migrants a year expected to pour into Germany.

“After attracting severe criticism on social media and from members of the Muslim community around the world, Saudi Arabia has defended itself saying that the kingdom has accepted more than 2.5 million refugees since the Syrian conflict began. The oil-rich nation also claimed that it has given permanent residency to hundreds of thousands of Syrians ever since 2011.” what a total BS article you have written…first you say zero, then you say they have taken in 500,000. besides…the problem is THEY ARE MUSLIMS. they destroy where they live, then run away to a new country and start trying to destroy the next one.
Saudi Arabia has room for more Muslim refugees as do he other Gulf Oil states. There is no reason for migration to Western countries.
As one of our readers put it: The reason for the Muslim migration is that there are no Christian taxpayers to support them in the Middle East.
The United States takes in 250,000 Muslim refugees annually. So should each of the 67 Muslim states. If they did so then the crisis would not be a crisis.
