Day: September 24, 2016

Following is from the video on this DailyMail article: 

The Dalai Lama has been interviewed by Piers Morgan on British television, saying that migrants should plan on returning to their rebuild their own countries.

Morgan:  “You’re a migrant—  a refugee.  There are now millions of people, mainly from Syria having to be displaced across Europe.  What do you think the answer is to this crisis?”

Dalai Lama:  “The main effort should go to help (their) own country bring peace, in Syria, Libya or even Afghanistan.  Generally the people always feel, ‘oh, one day we return’.”

Morgan:  “Ultimately all refugees should aspire to go back to their homeland?”

Dalai Lama:  “Yes.  (They) should rebuild their own country.”

The Dalai Lama has expressed similar sentiments in May of this year, warning that “Germany cannot become an Arab country.”  The following is a summary of this Breitbart article: 

In May of 2016 it was reported in Agence France-Presse that the Dalai Lama had stated that there are too many migrants pouring into Europe, warning against Europe becoming an Arab region and saying the solution is for the immigrants to be repatriated in order to help rebuild their own countries.

The Dalai Llama’s comments are similar to those made by Europe’s anti-Islamisation PEGIDA movement, France’s Front National, Germany’s Alternative Fur Deutschland, and to a degree Britain’s UK Independence Party, but those groups are often accused as being “racist” or “xenophobic” for having those views.

The Dalai Lama was recently named at the world’s most popular leader, with over three-quarters of adults (78%) having a good opinion of him.

Following are statements the Dalai Lama had made:

“When we look at the face of each refugee, but especially those of the children and women, we feel their suffering, and a human being who has a better situation in life has the responsibility to help them…  But on the other hand, there are too many at the moment…  Europe, Germany in particular, cannot become an Arab country, Germany is Germany.”

“There are so many that in practice it becomes difficult.”

“[F]rom a moral point of view too, I think that the refugees should only be admitted temporarily.”

“The goal should be that they return and help rebuild their countries.”

“‘Taking in a few thousand refugees is wonderful but in the meantime you have to think about a long term solution too – through development and education in these Muslim countries.”

Last night a man walked up to a makeup counter at a Macy’s store in a Washington state mall carrying a hunting rifle, then he proceeded to shoot and kill four women and a man ranging in age from teenagers to seniors after reportedly shouting a “woman’s name” several times.

Authorities describe the man as “Hispanic” in his late teens to mid twenties.  Surveillance video showed that he entered the building without a gun.  He was last seen walking toward Interstate 5 which is a few hundred feet from the Macy’s exit.

The above video report closes with the reporter saying “This is a local investigation right now.  The FBI is involved but they did say at the news conference that there is nothing that points to a terrorism act at this point.”

As many as 2,000 teenagers have been radicalized by the Islamic State in France, reports a security source in the French Le Figaro newspaper, also saying that the number of girls embracing the Jihadist ideology is increasing.

Following are points made in this Russia Today article: 

— The security forces said they have identified 1,954 young men and women as ISIS terrorist organization sympathizers since the start of this year.

— Levels of radicalization among teens in the country have increased by 121 percent compared to January 2015.

— Seventeen French youths have been killed fighting for ISIS in Syria and Iraq.

— 37 teens have recently been indicted in France on terrorism and extremism charges.

— An increasing number of teenage girls are sympathizing with the ISIS terrorists.

— The source said the jihadists prey on youths with physiological problems who are going through tough times for reasons such as their parents getting divorced.  They use special recruiting techniques to make the young men and woman easy targets for the radicals.

— French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said that the terrorist threat in the country is higher than ever before, and he said that 300 people have been arrested in France for links to terrorist activity since the beginning of the year.

— France has been on high alert since the Charlie Hebdo tourist attack in January 2015 where 12 people were killed, and the Paris attack in November of that year where 130 people were killed by ISIS terrorists.

— Other notable recent attacks in France include the terrorist truck attack in Nice, France on July 14 which killed 84 people, and the two Islamic radicals beheading a Catholic priest later in July in Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray.

Surveillance video from inside the home of a Gwinnett County, Georgia woman shows her rushing toward three home invaders while shooting at them.

The footage shows three men breaking into her house brandishing handguns, and then rushing out the door as she chases them while shooting her gun.  Two of the men escaped and the third died from being shot.  It is not clear if the other men had been shot.
