“Europe is for Europeans” With too many Muslim migrants, “the continent could become ‘Muslim’ or ‘African.’” “Only a ‘limited number’ of migrants should be permitted to reside in Europe” According to globalist labels, these are the “racist“, “Islamophobic“, “intolerant“, “EU democracy-threatening“, “far right“, “Nazi” words of populists like Hungarian leader Viktor Orban, and Italy’s Matteo […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: Two Versions of the Dalai Lama (Part III)
I used to wonder if the Dalai Lama was deliberately trying to pretend that the real Islam was all those nice things — peaceful, tolerant — he claimed, in the hope that if enough Muslims heard this repeated by enough Infidels, it would change their behavior; Muslims pleased to hear themselves described as such would […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: Two Versions of the Dalai Lama (Part II)
At the same gathering, the Dalai Lama insisted that “India is the only country where different religions have been able to co-exist.” This was a bizarre remark, but the Dalai Lama is given to strange remarks. First, could he have forgotten that all over the Western world, people of different confessions have coexisted peacefully? Or […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: Two Versions of the Dalai Lama (Part I)
There seem to be two Dalai Lamas when it comes to Islam. The first Dalai Lama, like that other expert on Islam Pope Francis, knows that authentic Islam is opposed to terrorism, that Islam is all about peace, and that any Muslim who engages in violence for that very reason can not be a “genuine […]
Dalai Lama to migrants: “Europe belongs to the Europeans”
A refreshing statement coming from the Dalai Lama. He is a better friend to Europe than the Pope, who has been indifferent to the sufferings of the victims of jihad. Unfortunately, jihad by immigration is perpetuated by Islamic supremacists, who relentlessly seek to dominate people of other faiths; the hijrah is a means to subjugate […]
Dalai Lama: There are no Muslim or Christian terrorists
“There are no Muslim or Christian terrorists because terrorists are no more religious once they embrace terror, Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama said.” The Dalai Lama is assuming that Islam and Christianity teach peace, and that to do violence in the name of either is to depart from its teachings. He apparently cannot conceive […]
Hugh Fitzgerald: The Dalai Lama: In Every Sense, On Islam He’s All Over the Map
In 2008, the Dalai Lama said what lots of Western leaders have been saying about Islam. He said “it was wrong, it was entirely unfair,” to call Islam a violent religion.” But six years later, in September 2014, at a conference of religious leaders he had organized, the Dalai Lama seemed to modify his earlier […]
Dalai Lama: Unfair to associate terrorism with Islam
Terrorism should not be associated with Islam, says the Dalai Lama, because all Muslims are “neither terrorist nor its sponsorer.” Sponsorer? Anyway, the Dalai Lama is right that all Muslims are neither terrorists nor “sponsorers” of terrorism, but he says nothing about the texts and teachings of Islam. What if they contain exhortations to “slay […]
