I'm not trying to sound Eurocentric at all but I do believe many European countries are largely peaceful and fair. We should all be doing our bit to accommodate those asylum seekers who are seeking refuge from wartorn countries in the Middle East and Africa.

That's the point though, people shouldn't have to "put up and shut up" with certain things just because we're not a war-torn country.
The kind of argument offered by the OP IMO is akin to telling a homeless person to appreciate they're in the UK and are not one of the dying kids in Africa.
