Dalai Lama slams killing in name of religion, says concept of jihad being misused
2014-09-23
[ABNA.IR] The Dalai Lama on Saturday condemned mindless violence in the name of religion, saying the concept of jihad was being misused and misinterpreted by forces of Evil in the Middle East.

The Nobel Peace prize winner and Buddhist spiritual leader was referring to bloodshed unleashed by the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
 (IS) group in Syria and Iraq where it has overrun swathes of territory.
