Saudi offer to build 200 mosques in Germany for Syrian migrants is slammed as 'cynical' because the Kingdom has not offered to take any refugees themselves

Conservative politicians in Germany have attacked an offer from Saudi Arabia to build 200 mosques in the country for the 'spiritual needs' of the Syrian refugees arriving daily in their thousands.
Andrea Scheuer, general secretary of the CSU party in Bavaria which is Chancellor Angela Merkel's ally in the state, called the offer 'cynical' given that the Kingdom is making thousands of refugees of its own in its military campaign in Yemen.
'No, it is more than cynical. This is no Muslim Brotherhood. Where is the solidarity in the Arab world?' he asked, given that the Kingdom has not offered to take in refugees fleeing from the civil war in Syria.
