I agree baboucarr
The so called rich arab nations who sit on muslim owned oil money will only
succomb to US pressure ,unfortunately, so far they have given on $50 million
which is probably one day's revenue for one of them

Even when iran had the earthquake last year they did not help them as they
should because the were not sunni  - although  a muslim is a muslim no mater
what madhab they follow but that is another story - one should help victims
so matter whar religion they are muslims or not - period

I think eventually they will but when thier boss tells them ( ie the USA)
I pray that they will change and do the right thing soon
