What they lack is a more important ingredient - the will.
They’ll be coming next month with the kids after the males settle down in Germany.

Reminds me when Bill Clinton announced that if he was elected President that he would stop forcibly returning Haitians caught trying to come to the US.
Thousands of Haitians, in anticipation of the policy change, wound up drowning as a result.
I stand corrected with regard to Jordan and Turkey as they have taken in refugees since 2011. Still what about the rich Gulf states Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Qatar. They must do more.
Before the civil war started, Syria was 13% Shia, 10% Christian and 3% Druze. Although, of course, there are no reliable figures, it would be reasonable to assume that the proportion of each of these among those fleeing ISIS would be rather higher. I imagine any of them would do anything to avoid ending up in a hard-line Sunni state such as Saudi, although some of the (relatively) more liberal Gulf states would presumably be possible.
For all its faults, the Assad regime has long had a reputation as one of the most tolerant of minorities (particularly Christianity) among Arab states.
This may sound bad, but….
How many of these people are truly fleeing ISIS, and how many are looking to mass migrate to countries who will “take care” of them. Saw cell phones, well dressed, clean cut people, mostly men….
“For all its faults, the Assad regime has long had a reputation as one of the most tolerant of minorities (particularly Christianity) among Arab states.”
That was the impression I was under also.
...agreed, where are their ARAB BROTHERS???
The Arabs are too tribal, too ethnic and too educated on hatred to even make an attempt to help the “other”.
Of course what they ARE good at is blaming Israel and the Jews for all their misery - that is their forte.
