BREAKING : Saudi Arabia’s TENT CITY Could House 3 Million Refugees
Saudi Arabia has a beautiful (empty) tent city, complete with plumbing and air conditioning that could comfortably house some 3 million refugees.
Yet, they refuse to take anyone in.
Why are liberals lecturing fellow Americans, when filthy rich gulf states are refusing to help their neighbors?
From Washington Times
As Saudi Arabia faces mounting criticism for refusing to take in any of the millions of Syrians fleeing conflict in their homeland, it was revealed this weekend that the country has over 100,000 empty, air-conditioned tents that could house up to 3 million refugees.
The tents, located roughly 2,150 miles from Syria in the city of Mina, are only used a few days a year to house pilgrims on their way to Mecca for the hajj, the news station TeleSUR reported.
The huge tents are also fireproof and equipped with kitchen and bathroom facilities.
But while Europe struggles to find space to take in the millions of asylum seekers making the perilous journey there, Saudi Arabia has been largely unresponsive to the crisis.
According to the to the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), there are about 500,000 Syrians living in Saudi Arabia, but they are not classified as asylum seekers and it is not known when they arrived in the country.
Other reports indicate that Saudi Arabia has not taken in any new refugees, along with Kuwait, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates.
No Gulf country has signed the U.N. Convention on Refugees, an accord standardizing the level of treatment of people fleeing to new countries.
Saudi authorities insist they had done all they can to support refugees by allowing them residency in the country, but say they do not brag about their support to the media.
“[The kingdom] was keep to not deal with them as refugees or to put them in refugee camps,” said one Saudi spokesman Friday, Reuters reported, adding they did so to “preserve their dignity and safety and gave them complete freedom of movement.”
The representative added that Saudi Arabia has given $700 million in humanitarian aid to Syrians.
Last week Saudi officials offered to build 200 new mosques in Germany to accommodate Muslim refugees.

Saudi Arabia needs to fill that tent city up with the muslim filth,and they can deal with what they support.I hope Trump wakes up to the games the saudi’s play and lands on them sand people heavy.Enough is enough.
I agree Saudi Arabia needs to Pony up. I don’t agree with calling refugees filth. And by the way, president Trump is fully awake to the games Saudi Arabia play. Didn’t you hear any of his campaign speeches?
We do not want or need Muslims in this country! We are not of their beliefs. We do not believe in cutting someone’s head off, honor killing or stoning a woman to death. One of a few needI go on listing the reasons why.
Or veil covering, or women’s rights taken away, or multiple wives, or honour killings, or rape, or 12 year old brides, or ‘arranged marriages, or wife beating, or genitalia mutilation, or driving privileges taken away… oh and we are allowed to speak to any man and go night clubbing in heels & a dress, we wear bikinis and gasp! show our hair! Ohhh the horror. We even tell our men that it’s their night to watch the kids while we have a girls night out. And don’t get beat for it. Shall we go on why we don’t want your 1300’s mentality on our soil. Stay on your side of the pond with your own.
