Dear fellow human beings (sorry, Hollywood-Stars),
A three-year old Syrian boy had to die that the world finally took notice of the immense amounts of Muslim refugees flooding Europe and especially Germany. Aside from the fact that many Germans welcome the thousands of arriving refugees, Germany and the EU are engulfed in the tunnel vision that this is solely a European problem, resulting in state and community rivalries, extreme logistical challenges and utmost violence against the refugees by some European countries. But it isn't a European problem. It's an Arabic and Muslim one! So I dare to ask the all important question: Why don't the Emirates, Katar or Saudi Arabia help their Muslim brothers? Particularly in view of the fact that they are enormously rich (e.g. the wealth of the Al Nahyan Clan of Abu Dhabi: estimated 600 billion Dollars)? Not even the US-media asked this very important question, until recently, when the picture of a small dead boy on the shore got the attention of the media. (Being Viennese and thus very sarcastic, I dare to ask the question: Were the reporters really emotionally shaken or did they just get a good headline?)

Since
an unkown person or underdog as myself cannot achieve anything, this open letter is
the desperate attempt to reach a few stars who are motivated enough
to nudge those super-rich billionaires that they help their Muslim
brothers where help is really needed, like those areas in Greece, Italy and Spain, where refugees land from sea and are placed in overcrowded camps.
Respectfully

P.S.:
The Open Letter to the Sheiks and Royal Families of the rich Arabic
countries (found in the next post: http://v.gd/FrypMV) is a blueprint you may paste/copy and change according to your
humanitarian viewpoints or wishes if you want to put it on your website, blog, facebook-page etc.
Thank you.
Thank you.
