Why, those little "mischief makers!" After all, "boys will be boys."

Dalai Lama Decries Mischievous Muslims

In Buddhism

According to the all-knowing Dalai Lama, it’s just a tiny minority of mischievous Muslims that give the whole faith a bad name.

After all, even Buddhists can be mischievous.

ROME (Reuters) - The Dalai Lama said after meeting Pope Benedict on Friday that “a few mischievous Muslims” should not be allowed to give the Islamic faith a bad name.

Muslims worldwide were offended by a speech by the Pope last month in which he quoted a Byzantine emperor who said the Prophet Mohammed spread Islam by the sword. The backlash has been sometimes violent and hardliners declared war on the Pope.

The exiled spiritual leader of 6 million Tibetan Buddhists living under Chinese Communist rule said Benedict and his predecessor John Paul II, who died last year, shared with himself a vocation for “the promotion of religious harmony.”

“Nowadays I often express that due to a few mischievous Muslims’ acts we should not consider all Muslims as something bad. That is very unfair,” the Dalai Lama told a news conference organized by a Rome university hosting him for a seminar.

“A few mischievous people you can find among fellows from all religions — among Muslims and Christians and Jews and Buddhists. To generalize is not correct,” he said.
