Obama regrets distortion of Islam to justify violence
 
U.S. President Barack Obama on Sunday regretted that the “great religion” of Islam has been distorted by a few extremists to justify violence towards innocent people and called for isolating these elements.

.....

Mr. Obama said the phrase ‘Jihad’ has different interpretations. Islam is one of the great religions and majority of its one billion practices believe in peace, justice and tolerance, he added.

Definitions of jihad:

a holy war waged by Muslims against infidels
a holy struggle or striving by a Muslim for a moral or spiritual or political goal
