Saudi Arabia offers Germany 200 mosques — one for every 100 refugees who arrived last weekend

[maomao]

Saudi Arabia has reportedly responded to the growing number of people fleeing the Middle East for western Europe - by offering to build 200 mosques in Germany.

Syria's richer Gulf neighbours have been accused of not doing their fair share in the humanitarian crisis, with Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman and the UAE also keeping their doors firmly shut to asylum-seekers.

According to the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, which quoted a report in the Lebanese newspaper Al Diyar, Saudi Arabia would build one mosque for every 100 refugees who entered Germany in extraordinary numbers last weekend.

It would be unfair to suggest that the Gulf Arab states have done nothing to help the estimated four million Syrians who have fled their country since the start of the conflict in 2011.

Just this week, the Al-Hayat newspaper reported that 500,000 Syrians had found homes in Saudi Arabia since the civil war began - as workers, not refugees.

There have also been significant contributions from rich individuals towards the upkeep of refugee camps round the Syrian border, estimated by the BBC to total around $900 million (£600 million).

But amid a history of competition between the Gulf states and Iranian-allied nations, there is a deep fear that allowing an influx of Syrian refugees could also let in Syrians loyal to Bashar al-Assad.

There also exists a more general concern about demographic change, leaving the states opposed to the idea of welcoming refugees. In the UAE, foreign nationals already outnumber citizens by more than five to one.

Back in Germany, Angela Merkel welcomed two refugee families at a home for asylum-seekers in the Berlin suburb of Spandau on Thursday.

She told reporters after the visit: "Their integration will certainly take place in part via the children, who will learn German very quickly in kindergarten. And I hope and believe that the great majority will want to learn our language very quickly."

Whether she will welcome Saudi Arabia's reported offer, which Al Diyar noted would "have to go through the federal authorities", remains to be seen.

Brilliant! Agenda is clear! Are Europeans completely dumb as Indian secularists or left liberal discourse has complete put a veil on their non-functioning brains?

These fellows only think about religion and terrorism. Instead of wasting money on building mosques they should have provided the money for building schools, colleges, hospitals and housing as these would be stretched to the limit due to the refugee influx.

But then as they say, 'Allah will provide everything'. All you need to do is pray five times a day and all will be well! Oh yeah!

Like I said in the other thread on Europe's refugee crisis as well "Europe is royally screwed".

@jouni, is this compatible with "European Values?"

@Gabriel92, how do you react to this?

 

[Hari Sud]

Soon Muslim imams will begin their sacred task of converting all Germans to Islam. If they do not covert easily then terror and bombs will be used in the name of God to force conversion.

Saudis must be amused. Creating the refugees , sending them to kafir lands and getting to build mosques abroad.

Foreign men are in high demand particularly in the capital region and other university cities as young women struggle to find viable partner candidates among Finnish men, says Minna Säävälä, a senior researcher at the Family Federation of Finland.

"The problem is that [young] women are beginning to be more educated than men and struggle to find men of similar educational background. Such foreigners do exist," she explains.

The phenomenon is manifested in marriage statistics: Finnish women in their 20s and 30s not only marry foreign men much earlier than Finnish men marry foreign women, they also do so in growing numbers.

"Unforgettable"

Although no statistics on dating or pairing up are available, many foreign men have encountered the phenomenon first hand.

Todd, a 25-year-old engineer from Australia, describes his recent nine-week business trip to Finland as unforgettable. "I've tried to explain to my mates in Australia how easy it was to find company in Finland. They don't understand how easy it is. You must experience it first hand."

Finnish women, he estimates, must simply love the Australian accent as they were not afraid to make the initiative.

"I took at least one woman back to my place every week."

Attractive stereotypes

Luchino Sivori noticed the same during his recent one-year stay in Finland, although he did not respond to the flirting because his girlfriend was waiting for him in Spain. The 31-year-old Spaniard estimates that the interest may stem from the fact that Finnish men are not as willing to talk about feelings, sex and love.

"Women are perhaps drawn by the self-confidence of foreign men and partly by the stereotype of a hot Latin lover."

Indeed, stereotypes may to a degree explain the popularity of foreign men, confirms Johanna Leinonen, a research coordinator at the University of Turku. "Many Finns admire the American culture and associate the French with a number of positive images stemming from films and literature," she points out.

Säävälä, in turn, estimates that the phenomenon may spread among friends similarly to any other social phenomenon.

She also points out that women living in cities accept immigrants more readily than other population groups, according to studies. "The older generations may be more sceptical about the prospects of a multi-cultural marriage. Studies indicate that the risk of divorce is higher for multi-cultural couples. Young people don't necessarily consider that a crucial factor when pairing up."

"Foreign men are much better-looking"

Saara, 32, from Jyväskylä has had roughly a dozen short-term relationships with foreign men. In her experience, foreign men are easier to talk to, better-mannered and considerate by nature. "They don't simply stare from a corner without saying a word but come up to talk to you," she highlights.

"Naturally, I'm not claiming that all Finnish men are tongue-tied."

Lotta, a 29-year-old woman from Helsinki who has had an Italian partner and is currently dating a Frenchman, is similarly more prone to fall for a foreign man. "With Southern European men, it's easier to talk about anything during daytime. They can also make the initiative when they're sober."

"In addition, there aren't too many interesting single Finnish men in Helsinki," she argues.

Both Lotta and Saara are looking for a long-term relationship.

"I would rather want a man for a long-term relationship than for a fling. In the end, what is crucial is his character, not his country of origin – although foreign men are often so much better-looking," concedes Saara.

Regardless, neither are willing to move abroad with their partners, at least not without a job.

"Studies show that Finnish women are not interested in moving abroad, not even for love. They would rather live here with a foreign partner," says Säävälä.

Fcuk Yrpean values... Viva la Bang bang!!
