The Dalai Lama said this week that Europe belongs to the Europeans and that refugees should eventually return to their native countries to rebuild them.

The Tibetan spiritual leader made the comment during a conference in Malmo, Sweden's third-largest city, known for its large immigrant population, Agence France-Presse reported. "I think Europe belongs to the Europeans. ... Receive them, help them, educate them but ultimately they should develop their own country." - The Dalai Lama

He noted that although Europe was morally responsible for helping those refugees fleeing danger in their home countries, the countries should let the immigrants know that they ultimately should rebuild their own country and go back.

Receive them, help them, educate them but ultimately they should develop their own country, the 1989 Nobel Peace Prize winner added. The Buddhist leaders comments came just days after the populist party Sweden Democrats made significant strides in Swedens general election.

The party, which ran on a platform of opposing immigration, came in third, receiving nearly 18 percent of the vote, nearly 5 points up since the 2014 election. The small Nordic country reportedly took the most refugees per capita in 2015.

The Dalai Lama, whos been living in exile since 1959 after escaping Tibet and settling in India following the Chinese communist takeover of the region, also echoed his remarks he made in 2016 concerning Germany and the influx of migrants from the Middle East.

Europe, for example Germany, cannot become an Arab country, he said, according to the Washington Post reported. Germany is Germany. There are so many that in practice it becomes difficult.

From a moral point of view, too, I think that the refugees should only be admitted temporarily, he continued, adding that The goal should be that they return and help rebuild their countries.

not seeing anything wrong with the statement... are you trying to use it to support nationalist bullshit? because that's not their belief, their belief is that refugees shouldn't be helped at all.

You're not helping Syria by taking 1/100th of their population, Syria can only be fixed by the people living in Syria.

This makes sense given the whole dream that Tibet will one day be an independent place, but choosing to put the "Europe belongs to Europeans and refugees should ultimately go back home" part front and center is 1. kinda misleading on the whole sentiment, and 2. way oversimplifies/ignores the reasons of why people seek refuge in other countries and mostly stay (because it is unsafe to go back, typically ever).

It's more possible for people living in Syria to help Syria than the several foreign governments who just want to use them as a proxy in a war between the US and Russia.

what I mean is, can people in Syria just tell the US, Russia, etc. to fuck off?

until they remove the negative foreign influence, which outguns them, idk how much autonomy Syrian people have over the fate of their country

He didn't say to send everyone back today, he said they should eventually go back.

This.


yes, the only way to help Syrian refugees is to send them back to an active war zone where they'll be drafted by IS, arrested or gassed as enemies of the state by al-Assad, or killed in one way or another by some foreign army and be written off as acceptable civilian casualties

Of course it is. It's your opinion that the refugees only benefit Europe and any statement that's at all contradictory to that narrative is proof of that person being a Nazi and or white supremacist.

Fact of the matter is lefties need the refugees for votes since their voter base is basically dead.

Now they basically hope getting third world people on government assistance will get them to vote Democrat for life.

I'll say it again as this topic already came up a few days ago, this is not saying what the ethno nationalists are trying to claim it said. He is saying Europe has a responsibility to take in and help the refugees, feed and educate them, and when Syria isn't a fucking war zone that they should return to rebuild their nation. All of which is perfectly fine and accepted. It is not saying "All refugees must leave immediately and we shouldn't take anymore in!" narrative that hardliners are trying to twist it to mean.

Just stop fucking using other peoples innocent comments and twisting them to fit your shitty nationalist agenda

Not really though. The African slave trade by Muslims isnt ever brought up, and it was brutal beyond belief. The cartoon version of history where everything bad was caused by Europeans while the rest of the world lived in angelic peace and cooperation doesnt hold up.
