Syrian Refugees

[OHEng]

I'm curious as to why none of the middle eastern countries are accepting the Syrian refugees? I mean, isn't Saudi Arabia, Iran, Irag, etc, etc much closer to them than Europe and America?

Some of the refugees are Christian and aren't exactly welcome in those other countries. Some are from different schools of Muslim faith (Sunni vs. Shiite for example) and are equally unwelcome.
