The Dalai Lama: Religious Harmony or Hypocrisy

The Dalai Lama in his speech says that promotion of Religious Harmony is very important. And Harmony comes from respecting everyone’s faith and religion. But on the other hand when Dalai Lama was interviewed regarding his first meeting with the Arab Muslim. Dalai Lama commented that the Arab Muslim is not interested in other peoples culture or religion but only think about money. That’s very confusing. On one hand Dalai Lama says to respect other people’s culture and religion. And now he sort of offend the Arabs by saying they only think of money. Arabs are not Buddhist. They don’t have to follow what we Buddhist and the Dalai Lama practices if they don’t wish to.
