A Wholly Holy Useful Idiot: The Dalai Lama Claims the "Jihad" Is Misunderstood

Good golly, Mr. Dalai--you're such a Lama rama ding dong: 

DELHI – Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama has condemned violence in the name of religion, clearing misconceptions about Islam’s Jihad as misinterpreted by extremists. 

"Killing in the name of faith is unacceptable," the Nobel Pease prize winner told a meeting of India's religious leaders representing as many as nine different faiths including Islam, Agence France Presse (AFP) reported. 

Jihad or holy war should be a fight "to combat our inner destructive emotions", the 79-year-old spiritual leader said. 

"It (jihad) does not mean harming other people." 

The Dalai Lama was referring to the atrocities committed by the so-called Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). 

The opinion of the Dalai Lama reflected a growing anger with the militant group, especially after the killing of three British and American hostages...

Au contraire. The opinion of the Dalai Lama reflects a growing disinclination to address the Islam's jihad imperative and the jihadis' history of warfare and conquest in Allah's name.
