The European media especially is aroar over this. How could an exiled religious leader make such an inhumane comment? Unbelievable.
It makes no difference that he’s right on the spot. These mostly able-bodied males should be in their own countries working to restore and rebuild. Not cowering in foreign lands suck up the social welfare from those rightly entitled to it.
The Dalai Lama made his remarks on Sept. 12 in Malmo, Sweden, which has a large immigrant population, reported the AFP. Malmo also has a major crime problem, largely due to the massive influx of immigrants from Middle Eastern and African countries. Malmo has been called the "rape capital of Europe."
Speaking to the crowd, the Dalai Lama said of refugees, "Receive them, help them, educate them ... but ultimately they should develop their own country."
"I think Europe belongs to the Europeans," he said, reported the AFP.
