Every day I am bombarded with requests to help out the third world poor.
Starving people worldwide, needing the help of the west to grow, thrive and survive,
Many of these countries seeking aid are Muslim.
My question today is, why don't the very wealthy Muslim countries do more to support their brothers. The wealthy middle eastern countries, flush with oil money - where they waste money like there is no tomorrow. In Dubai, where they are building billing dollar resorts for the wealthy. In other UAE states where the rulers each have their own luxury 747 or A380 private jet. Where they drive in obscenely expensive cars. Why aren't they doing more to share the wealth.
We all hear about the suffering of the Palestinians. Why doesn't the Arab world do more to support their own peoples? Why is it up to the Western nations to prop up these countries?
Maybe if the Arab world stopped wasting money on unnecessary projects, and expensive toys, they could afford to help the rest of the world, and make the world a happier and more peaceful place to live in.
Maybe it suits the Arab world to leave the suffering to the West to fix?
Thats my 2 cents.
