Obama Condemns Those Who Seek to ‘Distort OUR Religion’

President Obama condemned those who seek to use religion as a rationale for carrying out violence around the world, declaring Thursday that no god condones terror.

FOX NEWS REPORTS:

We are summoned to push back against those who would distort our religion for their nihilistic ends,” Obama said during remarks at the National Prayer Breakfast. He singled out the Islamic State group in Iraq and Syria, calling the militants a “death cult,” as well as those responsible for last month’s terror attacks in Paris and deadly assault on a school in Pakistan.

Among those attending the annual gathering of politicians, dignitaries and faith leaders was the Dalai Lama, the spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhism. As with the Dalai Lama’s past visits to Washington, his attendance at Thursday’s breakfast drew criticism from Beijing, which sees him as an anti-Chinese separatist because of his quest for greater Tibetan autonomy.
