From The Washington Post, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, an Indian guru known best for his Art of Living foundation, which has a vast global community of followers, claims to have attempted to start peace talks with the militants of the Islamic State. But his efforts proved futile. "I tried to initiate peace talks with the ISIS recently but they sent me a photograph of a beheaded body of a man," he told Indian media http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Photo-of-beheaded-man-ISISs-reply-to-Sri-Sri-Ravi-Shankars-peace-message/articleshow/51938940.cms, using another name for the extremist organization. "Thus, my effort for a peace dialogue with the ISIS ended." The advocate for meditation and harmony offered this frank conclusion: "I think the ISIS does not want any peace talks. Hence, they should be dealt with militarily." It's not clear when this overture was made or to whom — whether actual militants in Iraq and Syria or proxies elsewhere. According to the news agency ANI https://twitter.com/ANI_news/status/723462185607946240, Shankar said he made a phone call in which he proffered the failed invitation for dialogue.
