Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Kerry: Scripture commands USA to protect Muslim countries against global warming

Sep 3, 2014 3:12 pm By Robert Spencer

Remember a few years back when some company was found to have put Biblical quotes on gunstocks it sold to the U.S. military — even just a few months ago the Islamic supremacist apologist Mubin Shaikh used that in a debate with me on Michael Medved’s radio show to claim that the misadventure in Iraq was a “Crusade.” Will Leftists and Islamic supremacists start charging that Kerry’s campaign against “global warming” is likewise a Crusade? Will he be roundly excoriating for resorting to nineteenth-century colonial paradigms of the “White Man’s Burden” to civilize the rest of the world? Somehow I doubt it. But it is telling that he would do so: I have often noted that there is an unspoken paternalism and ethnocentrism at the heart of the Left’s refusal to hold Muslims to the same moral standards to which they hold Westerners — e.g., in their continued turning a blind eye to Hamas’s bloodlust and open calls for genocide of the Jews. The assumption is that these uncivilized folk just can’t be expected to behave decently and ethically, and it is our job to raise them to a loftier station. Kerry here confirms precisely that paternalism and ethnocentrism.

“Kerry: Scripture Commands USA to Protect Muslim Countries Against Global Warming,” Breitbart, September 3, 2014:

Wednesday at a ceremony to appoint Texas lawyer Shaarik Zafar to be special representative to Muslim communities, Secretary of State John Kerry said it was the United States’ Biblical “responsibility” to “confront climate change,” including to protect “vulnerable Muslim majority counties.”

Kerry said Scripture, in particular the Book of Genesis, make clear it is our “duty” to protect the planet and we should look at Muslim countries “with a sense of stewardship of earth,” adding, “That responsibility comes from God.”

    This brings to mind Robert Mitchum’s character in “Night of the Hunter.” Using his imagination of what the Bible says to get what he wanted from those who either trusted him or just didn’t know any better. He made trouble and brought death.
    I liked Mitchum, but not in that part.
    I can’t stand kerry.

      I remember that movie, although it has been years since I have seen it. I can’t recall if the Robert Mitchum character REALLY believed how he interpreted the Bible, or, if he merely had found it a useful tool to dominate and use other people. A very scary movie. There is a personality disorder called “narcissism” which is just like that. When you learn about mohammad and what he did and said, you can spot him right away as being a narcissist. He changed his mind and received contradictory revelations from “allah” according to what he needed at the time. Narcissists really believe that they are the center of the world and can effect the nature of reality through force of their own will.
      Look at a lot of our politicians and news media people. They spout nonsense and tell big whopping lies and say whatever needs to be said in the moment for their own purposes. They are empty shells, no one is inside.

        And, I forgot to say, the ONLY way they see other people are as things to be used for their own benefit in some way. That includes spouses and children, they are actually incapable of having anything approaching a relationship or of really caring ANYTHING about the well-being of others. They can’t even really care about their pets, except in whatever way the pet can be used. (like a guard dog or something)

    So there are at least four things wrong with that one sentence: “Scripture Commands USA to Protect Muslim Countries Against Global Warming”. Firstly, anthropogenic global warming is utter bilge. Secondly, why would he need to mention muslim nations here at all instead of any other nation on the “globe”… he must be bending so far backwards that he is actually bowing to the kaaba. Thirdly, the Bible also teaches to be wary of false prophets who “come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves”, who just want green tax money. Both Muhammad and man-made climate change proponents fall into this category. Fourthly, why does the US or the UK have to act as the world’s policemen all the time when the morality and intelligence of the leaders of these countries is lower than that of chimpanzees. Sickening really.

      “why would he need to mention muslim nations?”

      – Because he was “at a ceremony to appoint Texas lawyer Shaarik Zafar to be special representative to Muslim communities.”

      Many of the nations most threatened by rising sea levels in coming decades happen to be Muslim nations, Bangladesh for example.

    Combining the stuffed shirt Sec. Kerry and the clueless VP Biden, someone could put together a pretty good comedy routine.

    No worries, kerry …since obama stated that the United States is no longer a Christian nation.

    Is this selective morality? I mean the left screams “division of church and state” That is until it can be USED to suit their purpose. Of course kerry inter prates Scriptures the same way he does the Constitution and that oath office he to swore to. Where’s a lightening bolt when you need one?

  11. Denise Matthews says

    Sep 3, 2014 at 4:45 pm

    That is simply absurd! No where in scripture does it say anything about USA protecting anyone from “global warming”;global warming IS NOT biblical!

    Global warming doesn’t matter to muslims–they don;t support science and they still believe the world is flat!!!!

    The worst kind of fool is a well-educated, influential fool. John Kerry could win awards in this category with ease. So, of course, could his boss. Also Kerry’s predecessor at State. Brennan at CIA. McCain et al. in the Senate. And then there is…., followed by….., and not to be forgotten…..

    Oh yeah, lots of well-educated, influential fools out there leading America right now. A confederacy of dunces to be sure.

    The Islamic world is counting on such a confederacy—–to be sure. Right now, this warped Islamic world has it.

    Islam + a foolish West = a recipe for disaster.

    G lobal waming is as true as the claim that Islam is a religion of peace. Both are hogwash.

    Sak, I understand you. It’s very important to pray for our enemies, first for our own good, then, for theirs.

    I’ve felt exactly what you describe, but much more often. Perhaps it has to do with being female: We tend to have softer hearts. And to think of the yawning abyss within these people! It’s terrifying.

    Particularly as one gets older, there is the necessity to have oneself grounded. Not on a foundation made of sand, but on rock. This is why I’m so grateful for my Faith, which of course is a gift, utterly free, no one can ‘merit’ it. It’s been bought and paid for.

    My Church teaches that we must never, never cease praying for the conversion of those who are lost. As I’ve gotten older I’ve found great wisdom in obedience! Particularly when I don’t understand something. Of course, that’s Faith.

    Speaking of these things is, I think, very much ‘on point’, when speaking of the horrors of Islam. Otherwise we could be submerged in that darkness.

  17. Roz Klaiman says

    Sep 4, 2014 at 12:19 am

    Exactly what scripture is that? The Bible, Old and New testament precedes Islam which accepts the prophets and Christ as a prophet of Islam? Maybe Mr. Kerry needs some education as he seems to be misguided.

    I want to vomit everytime one of these leftist moslem sympathizers decides to quote the bible ; which they neither believe in nor obey.

    • somehistory says

      Sep 4, 2014 at 1:22 pm

      Me too. Kerry and those like him think by saying these things, they can get those who do believe and obey the Bible into questioning what their own eyes see and their minds understand. And to try to send us all on a guilt trip.

    He is a very dangerous man: a second Dr. Stranglove. We have a secretary of state who is clearly crazy. He will say anything and think himself brilliant. What arrogance. A narcissist. Next he will tell us that that he is a prophet of G-d. It makes me sick.

  24. Prinz Eugen says

    My guess is that our lying Hanoi Hero Kerry did not offer a specific Biblical passage to support his lie?

    Our islamo-marxist regime is fully committed to the caliphate crusade against the world.

  25. Jimmy Stewart says

    Sep 4, 2014 at 4:21 pm

    What a fool. There is NO scripture which speaks of this. Who knows what he’s talking about? I’d like to know what scripture he’s referring to.

  26. DP111 says

    Sep 6, 2014 at 5:16 am

    God does give stewardship of the planet to human beings. In effect we are commanded to look after living creatures, including plants. So what does Kerry mean if he includes Muslims in the above category.
