I'm not necessarily disagreeing with your entire argument, just your "Muslim countries should take in the Syrian refugees" one. Your own source revealed that one of those countries, which you specifically cited, may actually an undesirable place for them to emigrate. The fact that your own source kind of disproved your Turkish argument reveals you to be (understandably) ignorant of the facts of the region, and for all we know there could be different reasons why even a religiously conservative Muslim wouldn't be welcome in Saudi Arabia or Iran.

All I'm saying is that if you don't know what's actually going on, then maybe you shouldn't be putting forth a solution.
