Saudis Might Take Zero Refugees

Pressure continues to mount on Saudi Arabia to take Syrian refugees after it was revealed that the Middle Eastern country has 100,000 air conditioned tents that could house more than 3 million people, sitting empty.

The 20 square km tent city of Mina is used for five days each year by Hajj pilgrims, and deserted for the rest of the time.

The neatly arranged campsite is made up of eight-by-eight meter fire-proof tents, with kitchen and bathroom facilities.

This reminds me of what Joel Osteen did following hurricanes Katrina and Rita - he refused to allow storm refugees into his church. What he did then (and what the Saudis are doing now) violates the fundamental tenets of both Christianity and Islam.
