these people are mainly sunni muslims - why don't the sunni majority countries that are in close proximity to syria take these refugees? you know... societies which come much closer to resembling their culture and which they would have a much easier time assimilating into? why not turkey, saudi arabia, egypt, etc...? why sweden, germany, england, etc...?
the answer is simple. the world knows that western countries are just one big charity at this point. the leaders of saudi arabia and turkey are simply too smart and their stakes are too high for them to make that same mistake.
