They do and have done as Turkey, Pakistan and Lebanon have approximately 30% of worldwide refugees.

Erm...Turkey, Pakistan and Lebanon are different to Saudi and UEA, etc. Question was why muslim countries don't take refugees and they do. More than others actually.

If you read the mirror, mail, express you won't understand logic because you'll be too used to your fears and anxieties being played on.

Never mind...

Simple. Just destroy imperialism. I think that's the right solution.

They shouldn't have to stay anywhere besides their country of origin. Yes, their country is in a sorry state but nothing gets solved when everyone tries to run away.

you mean, we should stop Turkey, Iran and Saudi Arabia (and their respective allies) fighting for regional predominance in the Middle East ? how could we do that ?

Establish a Caliphate?

It seemed to have worked well for the EU thus far.

good idea

a Caliphate where Sunni, Alaouites, Jaafaris, Hutus, Ibadis, Druzes, etc will live in peace and harmony .... as they have done for centuries...

Given that they have survived this long, I'd say that was testament to the ability of a Caliphate to address their needs, don't you?

What was done once, can be done again.

the various Caliphates, through their long history, were in a state of quasi-permanent civil war

since no clear method of succession to power was ever devised, civil war broke out regularly. The unity of the Caliphate barely outlived Muhammad's demise by a few dozen years

as to surviving - of course that people will survive most everything, except death

When you are talking about events that took place over a period of 1300 years, some semblance of centuries, to which you refer to, may not go amiss.

Up until the 12th Century, there were various factions with their own individually held territories and whilst they may occasionally have gone to war with each other, it was mostly a succession which led to the capture of more territory, as opposed to direct hostilities with each other.

All that changed when the Mamluks and Ottomons gained prominence and power so yes, the revival of a Caliphate (along the lines of say, the EU) may turn out to be good for the region.

it's much more likely that present States will split along religious/ethnic lines, rather than a Caliphate emerge, uniting the Ummah

present developments in Muslim-dominated States point to more fractiousness and sectarianism, rather than anything else

as to the distant future, no one knows (not even Allah)
