Comment worth noting because we have to laugh sometimes

Yesterday we received this comment to my post on Australia from reader ‘Ciccio.’    For longtime readers, you know that we have constantly criticised Arab governments, especially the Saudi government, for having no Muslim charity toward their co-religionist refugees (Palestinians being prime examples!).  Ciccio has found they do have compassion afterall!

Ciccio:

You keep accusing the Muslim countries of not doing anything for their own, I can now prove you wrong. They do not wish to see their own persecuted and are more than willing to see them repatriated to their homeland when they are no longer welcome in their country of adoption. One would have thought that Australia would have learned about import of non-indigenous from past lessons but it seems politicians never learn.

Here is the link that Ciccio provides to make his/her point.   Saudis do have compassion—for camels!

In January Arab News reported on some Saudis who initiated an Internet campaign calling for the transportation of Australian camels to the Kingdom.

The campaign followed an announcement by the Australian government that it would use helicopters and marksmen to corral and kill 6,000 feral camels in a small northern town.

Days later Australians welcomed the proposal to send their wild camels to Saudi Arabia instead of shooting them.

 Then this:

Glasson however said in an interview with a local news agency that the main objective of the culling program is to reduce the growing numbers in some areas and reduce environmental pollution.

She also pointed to the fact that gases emitted by the camels are equivalent to the polluted smoke coming out of nearly 300,000 cars.

Since we know we are all one big happy interconnected world, this begs the question, won’t the camels be producing just as much gas in Saudi Arabia as they did in Australia?
