Dalai Lama Thinks Europe Has Let In 'Too Many' Refugees




Mainz, Germany — The Dalai Lama thinks Europe has let in "too many" refugees.

The Tibetan spiritual leader said that "we feel the misery" of each individual refugee and that humans have a "responsibility to help" — but that there are "too many" who have been accepted in Europe.

"Europe, for example Germany, cannot become an Arab country. Germany is Germany," he laughed in an interview published Tuesday with Germany's Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung newspaper. "There are so many."

The Dalai Lama said that "from a moral standpoint" he thinks refugees should "only be accommodated temporarily" — with the goal of them returning home to rebuild their countries.

Germany took in over 1 million refugees last year from war-torn countries such as Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan over the past year.

The influx of migrants and refugees has led to a spike in anti-foreigner sentiment in Germany.

I don't see how they can let them in to find jobs and start to make homes for themselves, Then they'd round them up and send them back? Might be easier to send back the ones that can't adjust and end up in jail.

How I love selective reporting....let's not tell the whole story....let's just tell the bit that supports our agenda....

Dalai Lama was also asked "In Europe, there's an increasingly hostile to Islam mood. How do you assess that?"

And he replied: There are Muslim individuals and small groups who kill each other in their own countries. Shiites, Sunnis. They represent not the entire Islam and all Muslims. Love is the core message in Islam in any religion. There are malicious people among the Buddhists, Christians, Jews and Hindus. Just because of some sad events emanating from a small number of Muslims, we should condemn not the entire Muslim world.



"In Europa gibt es eine zunehmend islamfeindliche Stimmung. Wie bewerten Sie das?"

"Es sind muslimische Individuen und kleine Gruppen, die sich in ihren eigenen Ländern gegenseitig umbringen. Schiiten, Sunniten. Sie repräsentieren nicht den gesamten Islam und nicht alle Muslime. Die Liebe ist bei jeder Religion die Kernbotschaft, auch im Islam. Bösartige Leute gibt es auch bei den Buddhisten, den Christen, den Juden und den Hindus. Nur aufgrund von einigen traurigen Ereignissen, die von einer kleinen Zahl Muslime ausgehen, sollten wir nicht die gesamte muslimische Welt verurteilen."

love is the core message of islam...mmmmmmmm that is stretching it a bit and history states otherwise

submission is the core message of islam..submission to ALLAH..and if allah isn't around then submission to islam is mandatory.....convert pay jizzy or die...the message and the implimentations are clear enough

not every German was a Nazi or facist.....not every Japanese was a supremisist thug...not every Roman catholic was a member of the inquisition and
not every muslim is a terrorist....

it cerytainly doesn't alter the fact that we have indeed let in far too many muslims into Europe and definitely too many into the UK..actually in to England
in fact we have allowed far too many from every where into the UK -England..without in any way checking backgrounds or abilies...and it simply isn't sustainable on any front..economics/social/infrastructure
the Dalai Lama is absolutely correct...and yes there is an increasingly hostile mood toward islam amd all things Islamic.....but ask your self WHY....
by their deeds they are known....and that is why there is hostility towards muslims
the only people creating hostility towards muslims are.....muslims

I don't think anybody would criticize the entire Muslim world if they would show some respect for the countries they migrate into. The way it is, they want everything from social interactons to supermarkets to schools to change to their way of doing things. They would not stand for that from westerners moving into their countries. They should be ready to change to western ways when they move here. If they won't, they need to stay in their home countries and work to build them up to western standards.

We don't hate all Muslims but we are not ready to stand by and let them take over our countries.

well said Dex.....the only people doing harm to muslims...are muslims them selves...
by their deeds and the inactions against those who do harm
