The Dalai Lama has told an audience that refugees should return home and help to develop their native countries because 'Europe belongs to Europeans'.

The Buddhist spiritual leader from Tibet, acknowledged that Europe had a responsibility to help them, but insisted they must also do their part.



he 83-year-old, who fled Tibet in 1959 in fear of his life, spoke at a conference in Malmö, Sweden, saying: "Receive them, help them, educate them. But ultimately they should develop their own country.

"I think Europe belongs to the Europeans," he continued in a controversial address, adding that it should be made clear to refugees that 'they ultimately should rebuild their own country'.

In 2016, he said: "Europe, for example Germany, cannot become an Arab country. Germany is Germany. "

To be fair, he also seems to be pointing out that the West does have a responsibility the HELP these people turn their own countries into places where they can live normal lives (or... you know... not trash them in the first place, as is sometimes the case). It would be very UNwise to latch onto the "they should stay in their own country!" part, while ignoring the rest as "tough sh*t".

If both Europe and the islamic countries are to have any kind of future, they need to mostly stay in their own countries and make them better, tis true. I'd much rather Western resources go to improving the ****hole countries while maintaining borders than having the somewhat open border approach.
