Islamist Pope Francis listen up: The Dalai Lama says Europe is becoming Arabised & migrants need to go home.

Who gives a fuck what a deposed theocratic dictator thinks? Also, the Pope, the head of the largest Christian denomination by a long shot, the Roman Catholic Church, is a radical Muslim? Are you kidding me?
The Pope lives in (a joke of a nation in) Italy amd represents one of the relevamt branches of the dominant religion in Europe which is also related to Islam. The Dalai Lama lives in northern India and represents a regional branch of a religion that is utterly unrelated to Islam and is only followed by a minor ethnicity at the farthest periphery of Europe. The Pope is far more qualified to talk about the European refugee crisis than the Dalai Lama.
Maybe, India should finally send a certain refugee named Tenzin Gyatso back to China.

People who do not realise that being the enemy of an evil faction does not necessarily make you good, especially if the person in question is from an exotic location, and those who believe Buddhism to be an enlightened religion of harmony (unlike evil old-fashioned oppressive Western Christianity and evil soulless amoral Western Materialism) instead of nihilistic nonsense and the most blatant "opium of the masses" ever conceived. I. e far too many people.
Taken out of context, the Dalai Lama's words in the interview with the German daily seem to fit right in with messages from the anti-immigrant Alternative fuer Deutschland party. "There are now too many," he said. "Europe, for example Germany, cannot be an Arab land. Germany is Germany."
Europe's Refugee Crisis
It's as important, though, that he said two other things. One essentially signifies approval of Chancellor Angela Merkel's initial urge to accept the escapees from the Syrian war: "If we look into the face of each individual refugee, especially the children and the women, we will feel their suffering. A person who is doing somewhat better has the responsibility to help them."
