Step Up to the Plate

For the life of me, I cannot understand the impotency of the Gulf States, (and I’m not talking about Florida and Mississippi) to step up to the plate, and confront two major international issues head on.

Countries such as Saudi Arabia and The United Arab Emirates, among the richest nations on earth, have been remiss to involve themselves in what may go down as The 21^st Century Refugee Crisis, and the battle against the so-called “Islamic State” (or ISIS, or ISIL or Daesh).

Whereas, literally millions of Syrians, Afghans, Iraqis and Africans are on the move towards European countries, (and are experiencing different degrees of “reception” from said nations, partly for fear their entire culture will implode, and radical Islam will gain a foothold,) their brothers and sisters in the Gulf States have seemingly turned their backs on the fellow descendants of Ishmael.

… And have not given asylum to so much as 1, (count ‘em) 1 refugee.

Beyond this, the nations of the Mideast have also abdicated their responsibility in terms of the War on Terrorism. Whereas, NATO and allied nations are conducting airstrikes against these savage vagabonds who murder, loot, pillage and rape at will, the Arab states have only done enough to illicit a few headlines. These countries which have the most at stake have failed to do the one thing which would get the job done.

Raise up a massive army to march against that ragtag group of terrorists in Syria and Iraq and put an end to this nonsense before it’s too late.

Otherwise, it is altogether possible, some say probable, that the not so great Islamic State will continue to gain power and converts, and ultimately conquer and dominate each and every country of the Mideast. Five words.

Step up to the plate.
