    There are over 2 million Syrians in Saudi Arabia.

    As the Saudis have never signed up to any refugee agreement they don't have a refugee status.

      They also have over five million unoccupied air conditioned tents for refugees that have never been offered to a single refugee
      Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

      No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.

        Probably not, as her figures are complete bulltulip.

          Approximately 2.5 million over the last five years. However, they are not officially recorded as "refugees", as Saudi Arabia (like a number of other Arab states) are not party to the UN protocols on refugees, and therefore they don't appear on the UNHCR's figures. The Saudi government classifies them as "Arab brothers and sisters in distress". This applies to other Arab states, too.

          This anomaly relating to the way official bodies classify people for statistical purposes leads many to mistakenly (or, in some cases, knowingly) claim that the Arab states haven't taken any refugees, but in reality it's just a matter of semantics and the protocols of the UN.

              Not really, 15 to 25% is actually less than surveys in the UK suggest.

              Poll reveals 40pc of Muslims want sharia law in UK - Telegraph

              Note: By "radicals" I mean those who believe in principals of Shariah, society run based on Islamic rules. Most may see it as a distant goal to be achieved by peaceful means but it is still a huge threat to our future.

                  You mean the bit that starts "Muslims around the world strongly reject violence in the name of Islam. Asked specifically about suicide bombing, clear majorities in most countries say such acts are rarely or never justified as a means of defending Islam from its enemies"? How do the figures there support the assertion that 25% of the world's Muslims are radical extremists? Her figures simply don't add up.

                    What figures are you rejecting? The numbers murdered by other regimes where the (most likely) peaceful majority were powerless to stop it?

                    I'd agree that her estimate on the number of radical Muslims being 20-25% of the world population of muslims deserves some verification, e.g.
                    How many Muslim extremists are there? Just the facts, please. - CSMonitor.com

                    EDIT: and I wonder if the percentage (0.01% or 25%) matters ... did it matter in Nazi Germany, Stalin's Russia, etc. ?

                      Saudi Arabia has contributed about a billion dollars and continues to provide more to run the refugee camps around Syria. I doubt any of the refugees would want to go to Saudi where they will encounter oppression again.
