Three dead in attack on Jewish museum in Brussels

So the guy got caught in a routine check in Marseille after coming by bus from Amsterdam. Buses coming from there are the most checked, for drug reasons. Not so professional after all. Buses are even monitored in general than trains (Eurostar being the exception), not just for Amsterdam.

I read last week the UN is asking western countries to take many more of the Syrian refugees - imagine that: more battle hardened jihadis in our midst. 

Any particular reason why Western Countries have to take them?  Why can't China or Japan or India or South Africa or something?  Or is everybody taking tons of these guys and the West needs to take their fair share?

I'm not seeing why we should be taking refugees either.

[CountDeMoney]

So far the US has offered to take up to 2000

That should only cover about 130 convenience stores and 22 Dunkin' Donuts franchises.

There are 40000+ Somali's in Ohio. Normally, as the king of tolerance, I wouldn't mind. But these fuckers are gonna shoot up a mall.

[CountDeMoney]

Somalis are some icky-pooh stank ass motherfuckers, even when they've been here a while.

[Ed Anger]

They also have weird misshapen heads.

That is a lot.

[CountDeMoney]

For one mall, yeah.

I thought it was illegal to transport Africans to the United States.

Well India's dirt poor - on last estimates poorer than Syria before the war - South Africa and China are richer, but still very poor. Japan should do something

Any particular reason refugees have to be given the opportunity to be rich?  It is not like China, South Africa, and India lack plenty of opportunity for anybody with ambition and talent.  I would sure the hell prefer to live in one of those places than Syria.

Sheilbh, like many brits, appears to be afflicted with an accute case of White Man's guilt syndrome - where the crimes of the West have to be atoned for in perpetuity.  Hence Third World strays should always be allowed to come here and bring us ever closer to the shithole status of the countries these refugees originate from.

And it goes without saying Muslims are the worst possible candidates.

But that has nothing to do with this.   My question was why the UN was specifically asking Western Countries.  That makes no sense to me, there is nothing about Western Nations that make them particularly well suited to take Syrian refugees.  In fact, our cultural values seem particularly poorly suited to take them unless these are particularly Godless Syrians

Largely economic, it's quiet expensive to look after or settle refugees.

Now that Lebanon and Jordan are full to bursting, the next places are further afield and flying them out is a costly endeavor in itself.

However it's financed, moving refugees to China, India or Latin America will be rather expensive, so to some extend it's easier to 'badger' Western governments, especially if they have tradition ties to the region or have existing small immigrant communities of the country themselves.

[Valmy]

Well they could just put them on a train or a bus and send them to China or India.
