There are no Muslim or Christian terrorists: Dalai Lama


Imphal, Oct 18 (IANS): There are no Muslim or Christian terrorists because terrorists are no more religious once
they embrace terror, Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama said on Wednesday.

"People cease to be Muslim, Christian or any group the moment they became terrorists," the Dalai Lama said at a public reception here on the second day of a three-day
visit to Manipur.

The Tibetan leader also said that he does not like the "America first" slogan of US President Donald Trump.

A strong votary of non-violence, the Nobel Prize winner said violence does not solve any problem.

"India, which has a tradition of 1,000 years of non-violence, could ensure world peace by reviving the ancient knowledge."

According to him, almost all the problems people face today were "our own creation".

He underlined the need to control emotions. Anger weakens people's immune system and as such was bad for health, he warned.

"Out of seven billion people on earth, six billion are children of god while one billion are non-believers."

Problems around the world can be solved through dialogue, said the Dalai Lama, who has lived in India since fleeing his homeland in 1959 and who is hated by the
Chinese Communist regime.

India with her ancient knowledge and education could ensure world peace, he said. "China has also potentialities except for the Communist ideology."

The spiritual leader said that the widening gap between the rich and poor was morally wrong. "This gap is visible in India and Manipur also."

In his speech, the Dalai Lama recalled how he came to India as a refugee 58 years ago. India is also home to some 100,000 Tibetans.

    I’m sure Dalai Lama is aware of what is happening around the world. Perhaps he doesn’t dare to speak the truth. It’s totally incorrect to say all terrorists don’t have religion. Terrorists belonging to organizations like Naxalites and Maoists don’t have religion since their ideology is derived from Communism. Communists officially do not believe in God and religion. They believe in the supremacy of state. On the other hand members of organization like ISIS, Al-Qaeda, LeT, etc. do have a religion. They carry out their nefarious activities in the name of their religion and whatever they do is for the sake of religion. This is a fact that everybody knows.

    Its coz, world is hiding the terror activities of people from other communities and only behind Muslim and Islam. Be it USA, UK, Israel, India etc. As long as there is Zionist and Fascist regime in power, the Terrorist tag will always go to Muslims.

    Very true Jossey Bhai. They do not even spare innocent infants who were killed by not providing oxygen and teen age girl by not providing food. Innocent people are being lynched on flimsy reasons. Internal terrorists are dangerous than external terrorists.

    Quote: Once Narendra Modi said All the Muslims are not terrorists
    Un quote: but all the terrorists are Muslims


    Dear Henry,
    You are right. Gandhi's killer Nathuram Godse is muslim, Martin Luther king's killer is muslim, IRA Ireland separatist are muslim, Hitler is muslim, John F kennedy's killer is muslim, even Gujarat massacre's master mind Narendra Modi is muslim....etc etc and many many there and all tragedy in this world is did by muslim.
    Come on dear, first define the word of terror but now a days it's become fashion to decide the tragedy depend on suspects "Name" whether it's terror or error. Just a example is recent massacre in USA, a person mercilessly killed 60 innocents who enjoying their day out with music and fun, but because of his "Name" the president declared that this guy is "pure evil minded" and just think if this guy's "Name" is anything related to muslim, he would be declared as "terrorist" and imaging how the world would react and bombs would already dropped on some poor muslim countries.
    Just keep it in you mind that we are the victim and scapegoat of politics and corporate business.

    Jai Hind
