Google Donates €1 Million To Help Refugees In Need

Mark Wilson writes: The on-going refugee crisis in Europe, Africa, and the Middle East has grabbed hearts and headlines around the world. As European governments argue over who should take in the thousands of desperate people, European citizens have criticized the speed and scale of the help offered, whilst simultaneously donating money, food, and equipment to help those in desperate need. Now Google has stepped in, offering €1 million ($1.1 million) to the organizations providing help to refugees. In addition to this, Google.org (the branch of the company 'using innovation to tackle some of the world's biggest challenges') is setting up a page to make it easier for people to make donations, and says that it will match any money donated by Google users.

    The ISIS war in the Middle East is Muslim against Muslim. Any action from the U.S. or other civilized nations is irrelevant. It's Muslim against Muslim, they cooked their own stew, and now must eat it. Which means that I am not really enthused about them bringing their barbarian ways to Europe. When will we see Muslims immigrants burning folks in cages in their Ghettos? Really soon!

    OK, Germany is expecting 600,000 immigrants from Syria. Take the half off for women and children, and that leaves 300,000. Another lop for young boys and old men. That still leaves 200,000 of fighting age. Give them some training and weapons, and send them back, and tell them to do their duty, if they want to save their country. ISIS will be gone really soon!
