Jordan’s king: Over 100,000 Muslims killed by Daesh in Iraq and Syria

VIENNA, Austria - Jordan’s King Abdullah says that over 100,000 Muslims have been killed by Daesh (ISIS) in Syria and Iraq over the past year, adding the world needs a “holistic approach” on dealing with the terrorist scourge.

Abdullah says he is optimistic the world will come together to fight terror in the wake of the Paris attacks, noting they were only the latest in a series of attacks that represent a global threat.

He was on an official visit to Austria when he made the comments to reporters.

On Monday, a Jordanian man who defected from Daesh and turned himself in to Jordanian authorities was sentenced to four years in jail.

The man, in his 30s, was accused of “membership in terrorist groups”.

Possibly he only noticed because they were the "wrong sort" of muslims killed. Sunni instead of Sh-ite (or vice versa 'cos I don't know or care about the difference)

A bit rich coming from the leader of a country responsible for training the jihadists who eventually broke away from the Free Syrian Army to form the nucleaus of ISIL!

Holistic approach? About about just an honest one for a change.

Training by Western military forces, not Jordanian
