The greatest indictment on the practice of the Shari’a by some Arab countries, as a way of life, is the fact that pushed to a point of hopelessness and destitution, millions of Arabs {overwhelmingly Muslims} who have become refugees have shunned looking up to incredulously wealthy Arab states, such as Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the Gulf Emirates (despite their proximity to these countries) and would rather risk all in their quest to traverse continents and oceans to get to Europe and the US.
These mega-rich Arab countries have remained wickedly mute to the plight of millions of fellow Arabs (overwhelmingly fellow Muslims}, pretending that the unfolding carnage is of no moment. In a bid to rationalize the inhumane posture of these Arab States, some have posited that the countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council are not signatories to the International Convention on Refugees and so are not obligated to take in refugees. This excuse is hurtful to these Arab States – you do not need any agreements, domestic or international, to do good, to save lives, to be human!
It is hoped that the stance of these rich Arab states who are quite ‘generous’ in dishing out funds to ‘support’ Islamization causes across the world, particularly in emerging countries, and yet refuse to as much as open their doors to Muslims in extreme distress will not be lost on the several peoples and countries of sub-Sahara Africa where such largesse’s have served to foster and fuel internal ethno-religious conflict and disturbances – the lesson learnt ought to be: If they cannot step in when it mattered most to their immediate neighbors who also happen to share same faith, the motive for their ‘generosity’ is clearly not pure.
