anon4546543 Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 I believe most S.E. Asian countries have tried to curtail Islamist extremists. The Phillipines could do more in Mindanao, Malaysia could do more in Sabah. But moderate countries like Malaysia and Indonesia are pulling their weight. As for taking more refugees in these two countries, they are already full of refugees and have been for decades. (including Syrians) Not all refugees in these two countries are put in camps.

Of course this has nothing to do with Uighurs smuggled through Malaysia via Thailand / Turkey/ Syria/ ISIS, because they are nice Uighurs and can never be regarded as terrorists.
