Grandma Ens: Orphans, AIDS and Jesus in Cambodia

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Sometimes they deserve, sometimes not, but where is all the Muslim Aid for Syrian refugees? how many refuges have muslim countries taken from Myanmar? you don't see massive airflifts from other religions or governments when the shit hits and they never get criticised?
Agree, but which 'Christian' country, aided by the regional Jewish state, started the crap in Syria? It wasn't an Islamic state.

Hint: one of the usual suspects
Take your pick. Plenty of people share responsibility for creating the mess. if you go back far enough it would be the British carving up of the middle east at the end of the war, or Christian countries establishing Israel, or perhaps even Germany for creating the circumstances which led to the formation of Israel. I am sure the historians i here could probably point at events further back than that. Russia is orthodox Christian, America is also Christian, Iran, Saudi Arabia and Lebanon are (mainly) not Christian. All have been involved one way or another. Nothing is every black and white when assigning blame for conflict. But once the shit has hit the fan the question is whether everyone should do their bit to help or just turn their backs on it
The British didn't carve up the middle East, the French and British carved up the middle East. The French created the shit-show that is now Syria. Admittedly it's now a shit-show because the Yanks got upset with them trading with the Soviets, so decided to stick a fascist in government instead of some fucking lefty. Too bad it turned out he was a fan of the soviets, too. So no, actually we had very little influence in the middle east, due to being broke saving everyone's asses from the Germans twice.
I am relived to hear that. I thought we were somehow connected with the shah of iran and Saudi and setting up israle. glad it was the French and americans. ican sleepeasy
The French created modern Islamist terrorism in Algeria. The ideas of Sartre are basically responsible for the modern idea of positive liberty, i.e. killing some to make the whole free. c.f. Pol Pot, Ho Chi Min etc. EDIT: can't spell Sartre. Or Camus
