CNN's Chris Cuomo made a gaffe regarding the religious faith of ISIS and other similar groups on the 16 December 2015 of New Day. When Senator Lindsey Graham accused Donald Trump of "playing into ISIL's hands," Cuomo replied, "Sixty percent of your party agrees with him. They think all jihadis are Muslim" Since jihad is a religious concept in the Islamic faith, a jihadi, by definition, would indeed be a Muslim waging a religious-based war for Islam.
