So far, the refugees have fled via Egypt into Israel, where they are being given new homes in a village near Sderot. Why didn't the refugees stay in Egypt, which is a Muslim country? Why are none of the vast, wealthy Muslim states offering sanctuary to the refugees? I think it's amazing that Israel is helping them, given that she is a country small than Wales. Why aren't the Muslim countries helping the Sudanese refugees?

The refugees are worthless to the Muslim countries as far as helping spread their agenda of terror and mass murder , so why help them ?
Let them find new homes in the Jewish and Christian countries , then once they`re settled in , they`ll naturally bite the hand that feeds them , and the Islamic nations will have what they want ...................... their own people living in our midst , ready to take up the cause and destroy us all !!
Israel , regardless of their good intentions , is eventually going to suffer greatly for helping these Muslims , as are other countries including the U.S. and Canada .
Muslims cannot be made to see the light .......... their one single purpose is total destruction of non-Muslim countries , and their citizens ! In this , they`re all united , every man , woman , and child . What better way to infiltrate the non-Christian countries ?
The Koran demands this !

Same thing as to why Palestinians were never given refugee status after Israel was made a nation or after the 1967 war, the Muslim countries leaders could care less about the people and Israel now is surely the humanitarian nation in the area to help Darfur.

Well done Israel for taking on its share of the Dafuri refugee problem. However there are hundreds and hundreds of thousands of refugees, most of them in camps in Chad or scattered across the wider region. Most live in the most abject poverty under constant threat of murder or rape from Sudanese Government militia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darfur_conflict
Why would Black African muslims take refuge in a non-Muslim country like Israel? Simply, a sense of security. The Dafuri's are Muslims like most Sudanese, yet for a number of years they have been under attack from government backed militia, the Janjaweed http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Janjaweed who are "Arabised" tribesmen from the north. They are under attack for preserving their own African culture and languages which are dispised by the Arab elite.
This has its roots in the Arab slave trade, when this region was exploited for its "resources" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery_in_Sudan. British attempts to suppress the trade resulted in the Mahdist revolt 1883-98 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Sudan_%281884-1898%29
I recently attended the showing of a film at the Front Line press club in Paddington London http://www.frontlineclub.com/. The film was originally made by the Al-Arabiya telivision station in 2004 and presented by the International Crisis Group http://www.crisisgroup.org/home/index.cfm?id=3060&l=1 who now own the rights. The film was never shown on Al-Arabiya as pressure on its Saudi owners was brought from official sources to supress it.
The film clearly shows that the Sudanese central Government was deeply involved in the reppression of the Dafuris through Arabised tribal leaders. This information plus the fact the film was effectively censored suggests that Darfur is the Arab worlds "dirty little secret" which they do not mention in public. Hence the negative reaction of the Sudaness Interior Minister to the Israeli initiative and the deafening silence and lack of practical assistance regarding the ongoing Darfur Crisis across the Muslim world.

Because the Muslim countries are not particularly interested in helping them. A lot of Muslims do not seem to get along with a lot of other Muslims. (That is a good thing - If they could unite better, they probably could have destroyed Israel in 1948.)

Muslim countries have strict laws. There is really no freedom for women and they have very strict laws. Muslim countries are usually more violent than free countries.
I am glad that these refugees are seeking help in free countries...It shows that democracy is working better than Islamic run states.
