Hostility to Israel, dark warnings about the perils of global warming, and an anxiousness to absolve Islam of any responsibility for the evils done in its name — this single address by John Kerry sums up the Obama Administration’s foreign policy in a nutshell.
“Kerry: Extremism Not Linked to Islam; Factors Include Deprivation, Climate Change,” by Patrick Goodenough, CNS News, October 17, 2014:
(CNSNews.com) – Secretary of State John Kerry on Thursday night rejected any link between Islam and extremism practiced by the likes of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS/ISIL/Daesh), pointing instead to factors such as poverty among youthful Mideast populations, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict – and climate change.
Addressing a reception at the State Department in honor of the recent Islamic holiday of Eid al-Adha, Kerry told an audience of Muslim community representatives, diplomats and others that the world was facing “a very complex time, and there are many currents that are loose out there that have brought us to this moment.”
“The extremism that we see, the radical exploitation of religion which is translated into violence, has no basis in any of the real religions,” he said. “There’s nothing Islamic about what ISIL/Daesh stands for, or is doing to people.”
The situation was “complicated, and for other reasons,” Kerry said. “We’re living at a point in time where there are just more young people demanding what they see the rest of the world having than at any time in modern history.”
He said with large youthful populations in some countries in the Middle East, South-Central Asia and the Horn of Africa, “you are going to have a governance problem unless your governance is really addressing the demands and needs of that part of the population.”
Kerry said extremist violence was just a symptom of underlying causes that needed to be addressed. He spoke in that context of a need for a partnership – to pursue peace, shared prosperity and the ability to get an education and a job, as well as “sustainability of the planet itself.”
“And that brings us to something like climate change, which is profoundly having an impact in various parts of the world, where droughts are occurring not at a 100-year level but at a 500-year level in places that they haven’t occurred, floods of massive proportions, diminishment of water for crops and agriculture at a time where we need to be talking about sustainable food.”
“In many places we see the desert increasingly creeping into East Africa,” he said. “We’re seeing herders and farmers pushed into deadly conflict as a result. We’re seeing the Himalayan glaciers receding, which will affect the water that is critical to rice and to other agriculture on both sides of the Himalayas. These are our challenges.”
‘Humiliation and denial’
Kerry also linked the threat of ISIS-type extremism to the Israeli-Palestinian situation.
“As I went around and met with people in the course of our discussions about the ISIL coalition, the truth is we – there wasn’t a leader I met with in the region who didn’t raise with me spontaneously the need to try to get peace between Israel and the Palestinians,” he said, “because it was a cause of recruitment and of street anger and agitation that they felt – and I see a lot of heads nodding – they had to respond to.”
“And people need to understand the connection of that,” Kerry added. “It has something to do with humiliation and denial and absence of dignity …”…
The 56-page latest edition of its publication, Dabiq, does not refer once to the plight of the Palestinians, although there are numerous hostile references to Jews, “Crusaders” and others.
Pain in my Brain says
“The extremism that we see, the radical exploitation of religion which is translated into violence, has no basis in any of the real religions.”
Right, Islam is 15% religion and 85% politics. What we see is political Islam, not religious Islam.
“… there are just more young people demanding what they see the rest of the world having …”
No, they don’t want to participate in the modern world, they want all of us to live in the 7th century.
Kerry said extremist violence was just a symptom of underlying causes that needed to be addressed. “And that brings us to something like climate change …”
This guy is unable to structure his thinking.
Jerry says
Who says that Islam, invented by a fake, self proclaimed prophet is actually a true religion?
Tradewinds says
Agree. It’s not a religion just because they say it is. An analysis of Islam via Koran and Hadiths shows that Islam is not a religion but a supremacist hegemonic political ideology, as Spencer often elucidates.
Champ says
Right, Islam is 15% religion and 85% politics. What we see is political Islam, not religious Islam.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Exactly, Pain in the Brain! …the small percentage of islam that is “religious” is merely a religious facade: comprised of a false god, allah, and a false prophet, moohamhead ..islam is primarily a governmental system intent on world domination. Yeah, islam and islam is evil to the core, nothing more.
Champ says
whoops! there should be one “islam” in that last sentence …

Jaladhi says
OMG, this going beyond stupid and traitorous!!!! And these people are our leaders who spout only lies and lies and nothing but lies. Can anyone figure this out what is driving our leaders into such madness???
TruthWFree says
I think Satan is the answer. No non supernatural answer makes any sense. “They have eyes but do not see, and ears but do not hear”.
chase says
Most of these people belong to satanic cults and brotherhoods[Freemasons, the brotherhood of the snake,skull and bones, alpha lodge,mormons, and many more]]they are not mad but simply evil.In a nut shell the plan is to destroy Jesus Christ and Christianity and become gods.They follow the Babalyonian religions and believe Satan is the true creator.
Islam is Satans violent arm, and is being used as a means to an end, as are the feminist and homosexual groups.The bible tells us they will have a very short reign on earth, beforeJesus Christ anihilates them all.
chase says
Again the devil taketh him up into an exeedingly high mountain,and shewith him all the kingdoms of the world,and the glory of them,and saith unto him,”All these things will I give thee,if thou wilt fall down and worship me.”Then saith Jesus unto him,”get thee hence,Satan:for it is written,’thou shalt worship the lord thou God and him only shalt thou serve.’Then the devil leaveth him,and,behold,angels came and ministered onto him. Matt 4:8-10
Jesus resisted the temptations of the devil, so obviously Satan took this offer to someone else.
carpediadem says
UN Agenda 21. Look it up.
Watcher_ 87 says
Compared to Kerry, Chamberlain was Churchill…
Jaladhi says
Islam is so contagious that it is worse than ebola and we are seeing the effects of Islam on Western leaders, media and academia. While ebola kills in a short time, Islam will take its due time to kill us!!

Jen says
How do these lying assholes live with themselves. No feelings of embarrassment at all?
“We’re living at a point in time where there are just more young people demanding what they see the rest of the world having than at any time in modern history.”
– And what? Does that lead to a caliphate being set up where the people living there have *less* than what they had while living in the west? Hasn’t he read the memo. They clearly say on their blogs that they’re there to “give up everything for Allah” and that they could have stayed in the west with all it’s material comfort but “wallahi this is not what we want.” They have even openly criticised the media and politicians for misreporting on this fact. This man can’t even use Google before writing his speech.
Jacksonl03 says
The really sad part is that they are not in fact “lying assholes”. This is what they really believe. Lying requires that you actually know what you’re saying is wrong, and they don’t.
Jen says
I’m actually starting to wonder if they’re not just outright lying though. It’s like he’s clutching at straws by even bringing up all these other bizarre things about climate change and material-envy. Anyone would be stretched to draw a connection between these things with ISIS. I believe they’re not as in the dark as they claim to be. Not to say that he’s knowledgeable about Islam, but that he knows more than he’s saying.
voegelinian says
I’m normally loath to accuse PC MCs and even most Leftists (whether “Elites” or not) of evil, and would rather seek another explanation. I’m not absolutist about this predilection, however, and reasonably acknowledge exceptions. John
“the U.S. Military is “reminiscent” of Genghis Khan” Kerry — not flip-flopping from John “helping our enemy the Viet Cong in Paris” Kerry — would surely qualify.
Coolio says
Kerry and his like either get all their information from Cambellesque spin doctors and muSlum ‘experts’, and arn’t allowed access to the Internet beyond golf rating sites, or they know exactly what iSlum is, and are traitors.
Beagle says
Kerry makes drug-addled homeless schizophrenics living out of shopping carts sound reasonable.
jihad3tracker says
Go get him, Beagle ! ! Right at the ankles ! !
el-cid says
These comments are truly frightening. Muslims always have one reason why they fight each other or for any other evil: “The Jews”. Their governments and economies are in shambles because of their idiotic ideology and mythical beliefs like this one.
For a person of Kerry’s sophistication to support this self-defeating view shows a level of cynicism that is truly frightening.
He might as well have said that if only there were no “Jews” global warming would end.
TruthWFree says
Liberals and Islamists (true followers of Islam) are guided by Satan. Neither can see the evil that is Islam. We are governed by either fools (Kerry and Biden and Pelosi and Reid?) or evil people (Obama, Reid and Obama’s appointments like Lerner and of course his CZARS). I would also put Hillary in the evil camp. At some point if either gets total power, they will turn on each other. My bet is that the Islamists will be the ones to keep their heads if that happens….pun intended.
jihad3tracker says
He does not come up with that 24 karat bullwash by himself, so don’t pile on; he is only doing his seditious job.
BHO ( in full mental meltdown since the R.O.P. showed what Islam’s essence is ) gives Kerry the points to be made, and Mr. Great Hair supplies adverbs and adjectives.

No problem getting what Europe has—just jump into the back of a lorry or float across the channel in a boat to Britain and you will get everything you want.
A FREE house, FREE healthcare, FREE education and FREE bags of money. Best of all you won´t have to do a thing to get it. You can just sit on your arse for the rest of your life and the Kaffir taxpayer will keep you in the comfort which is your “human right”.
Don McKellar says
Kerry is hollow shell of a man doing his job no matter how ludicrious, because that’s what his boss wants him to say. Perhaps he actually believes it, perhaps not — we’ll never know, and probably he doesn’t know, either! That’s how far gone he is.

Beagle says
This is significant in that now IS has gone from a group which much be “degraded and destroyed” to just another interest group with grievances to appease. I wonder if Kerry was winging it or if this is a real policy shift?
a Gaulois says
It should be obvious to anyone that Kerry, and some other foreign ministers beleive the general public to be complete imbiciles incapable of sensing the re-engineering of western civilization, or rather it’s final destruction. The question really is, why does’nt the westerner react? Why are we not organizing to face this clear and final threat? Why are we so dumbed down without resistance? And why do we continually crawl away from “buzz-words” and acusations? No-one will ever defend the west, only the west can do that. To not do-so, is to passively await our demise by the barbarian’s blade. This is not science-fiction, but a fast approaching fact.

Kerry is a disgrace! What else are the Muslim representatives going to say besides deflecting the blame from their religion to the so-called “Israeli-Palestinian” conflict.
News flash: Kerry and Obama — ISIS is behaving as muslims did in the 7th century at the dawn of Islam. Their purpose, as they have said time and again, is to implement Sharia law throughout the middle east and ultimately throughout the world!
David says
What about the siege of Vienna and the Barbary Pirates? This is how Islam has operated for most of its history.
SpiritOf1683 says
Or the Battle of Tours in 732? Had Martel lost, Western civilization would have gone down the tubes before it got going.

jewdog says
Kerry is hardly alone in his opinions. Recently, Sweden, Britain and probably now Spain have passed resolutions recognizing “Palestine”. Apparently, as the Mideast melts down, a lot of people seem to think that the Jews must somehow be at the bottom of it, so they are shaking the usual bones and sticking pins in their Jew dolls. It won’t work.
Bezelel says
That’s the kicker. I can accept Kerry being deranged or having a nefarious agenda. That there are more of them in leadership positions in the, whats left of, the civilized world, that is spooky. It is getting harder to believe that any of them can believe their own BS. That koolaid is some strong stuff.
Bradamante says
Oh. My. God. Rather than call Muslims to account for the evil prescribed in the Quran and Hadith, Kerry seems to be coddling their denial-of-responsibility instinct, which is already highly developed. So in short, it isn’t that Muslims decided to go jihadi and follow the Quran word for word; it’s the rest of the world, warming the climate and supporting Israel, that’s creating IS. Who wrote this speech? CAIR?

Secretary Kerry,
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt. (Thank you, Abraham Lincoln).
Boston Tea Party says
The ironic thing is that Kerry’s approach is not simply dangerous for the West, but it’s absolutely toxic to the people in the Muslim world. When someone is a dysfunctional drug addict, you’re really not helping them by declaring that they’re doing well and they bear no responsibility for their situation Kerry is doubling down and helping to reinforce the pathology that’s KEEPING the Muslim world in its political, military, religious and social quagmire.
Boston Tea Party says
Sorry, should be a period between “situation” and “Kerry” above.

Absolutely unbelievable.
there should be a number of TREASON trials occurring sometime after No 2016 I would think…?
Mark says
He was speaking to Muslims, what else was he going to say except ‘it’s all the fault of the Jews’. I’m only surprised he didn’t blame it all on the crusades as well, topic for next time maybe.
SpiritOf1683 says
You can bet the Crusades and the Reconquista are on the ‘to say’ list, as are the fightbacks at Tours, Vienna, Lepanto and on Malta.
Ralph says
Muhammad posed as an apostle of God. Yet his life is filled with lustfulness (12 marriages and sex with a child, slaves and concubines), rapes, warfare, conquests, and unmerciful butcheries. The infinitely good, just and all holy God simply cannot tolerate anything in the least unjust or sinful. What Muhammad produced in the Qur’an is simply a book of gibberish consisting of later evil verses abrogating (superseding) earlier peaceful verses. These verses in Arabic poetically “tickle” the ears of Arab listeners. Islam is a caustic blend of paganism and twisted Bible stories. Muhammad, its lone “prophet”, who made no prophecies, conceived his religion to satiate his lust for power, sex, and money. He was a terrorist.

Sure, there are indeed many young people in the world living in poverty, despair and desperation. So how come it’s only ONE group of these people who see fit to blow them selves up, murder and behead infidels, create murder and mayhem everywhere they go? Huh, Kerry? Why aren’t the poor young Hindi in India, or the poor non-Muslims in Africa, doing these things? Huh? Why do you suppose that is, Mr. Kerry? A real headscratcher to be sure.
I think I’ve just run out of barf bags…
SpiritOf1683 says
Exactly. There aren’t any Zimbabweans or Bolivian infidels to our knowledge plotting and carrying out mass atrocities in the US and Europe.
Ayatrollah says
Kerry got one thing right. Muslims don’t like Israel because Islamic law clearly says a Jewish state can’t be in Muslim lands. At some point in time the Islamic state will turn its attention to Israel.
Dave J says
This violence “has no basis in religion”?
Have you read their holy terrorist training book, you dork?

Addressing a reception at the State Department in honor of the recent Islamic holiday of Eid al-Adha,
Well, a little over a week ago ended, for Jews, The Ten Days Of Repentance.
Rosh Hashanah through Yom Kippur). Tonight ends the end of another Jewish holiday ( yesterday in Israel, tonight here).
Since the State Dept. had a reception for a Muslim holiday, WILL THEY BE HOLDING ONE FOR THE JEWISH HOLIDAYS THAT JUST OR ARE JUST ENDING?
How about, do they have one at the end of the Xmas season; Easter time, or for any other Christian / Catholic holiday?
Just asking.

All we need to hear now from Kerry is that rain doesn’t wet you. His statements are so idiotic that he seems to be braindead.
As for so called climate change, previously global waming, it is another big leftie hoax brought on by the Left and the UN. Scientists are hardly going to tell the truth about climate when there are billions of dollars being handed out by the Feds to prove that it is a grave danger. The truth is that there has always been climate change, that carbon dioxide is necessary for life and that if there is an increase of the temperature of 1 degree celsius, so what. It will be good for many people. When politicians get in on a sceintific quesiton, they make a mess of it, just like what they are doing in Iraq.

“… you are going to have a governance problem unless your governance is really addressing the demands and needs of that part of the population.”
apparently the SoS doesn’t know this is not a problem in Muslim countries.
impose SHARIA (tool of enslavement) and the “young” know what are to be their demands and their “needs” are already proscribed … starting with the theoretical Muhammad (lately contrived; a grotesque, full of lust),to be imitated. Include the Allah god of Islam (unknowable; the best of all deceivers), and note the noble Koran (no savior), which gives permission to execute the amazingly malevolent and belligerent rage these savages have exhibited throughout their history.

Secretary Kerry, doesn’t ISIS realize that every time they blow something up they are expanding their carbon footprint? You better get yourself over to Iraq and give them a good talking to. And bring along some reusable shopping bags for them to keep heads in.

Hmmmph. Back when Lebanon was imploding, before 9/11 and before I dusted off the bits and pieces of Islamic studies I had before, I concluded that the Middle East was a volatile place with or without a Jewish Israel right in its middle. My guess is that Kerry and other Lefties don’t want to disparage some central elements of Islamic theology, lest they admit they were wrong to turn Malcolm X into a secular saint.
David says
John Kerry reminds me of Chauncey Gardner in Being There. This guy is an absolute idiot. Although he may be an idiot savant with an exceptional talent for marrying rich women.
“ISIS is the result of global warming.” “ISIS is the result of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.” “ISIS is the result of poverty and deprivation in the Islamic world.” “ISIS has nothing to do with Islam.”
If he wasn’t in a position of power or expressing the views of those in power, I would be ROFL.
Bezelel says
ISIS is a result of $3.50 per gal for gas. Let’s try defunding islam via stop buying their oil and let them eat and drink their friggin oil. They would at least have to be more conservative with the munitions.

“There’s nothing Islamic about what ISIL/Daesh stands for, or is doing to people.”
So, there is nothing Islamic about IS.
Is there also nothing Islamic about Islamism?
Further is there nothing Islamic about Sharia Law?
What about Muhammad – is there also nothing Islamic about him?
After all, among many other things he married a 6 year old girl; he decapitated hundreds of POWs; he burned out the eyes and cut of the hands and feet of apostates who stole from him, leaving them to slowly perish in the desert sun.
So according to Mr Kerry’s logic there is nothing whatsoever Islamic about Muhammad and Sharia.
This is how ridiculous our “leaders” have become and we are ridiculous if we believe them.
Mark says
There’s nothing Islamic about the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. In fact, there’s nothing Islamic about Islam.
TruthWFree says
Either the Muslim Obama is pulling the strings or Kerry and other politicians are afraid to pin this on Islam because they are afraid of Jihad assassination if they told the truth. Both excuses or possibilities are bad for us as a nation and for freedom.
In the first case, Kerry puts his fear of firing by his Muslim boss over his allegiance to his country and his oath to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and DOMESTIC.
The second possibility above is in line with Muhammad’s “I have been made victorious through terror”. That would indicate that “war hero” Kerry is a coward as I think was set forth in the Swift Boat disclosure, and fears assassination if he told the truth about Islam.
Can you think of any other possibility? Stupidity, as a possibility, is beyond my ability to accept it as a reason, given the rising knowledge about Islam since 9/11. One does not need to even educate himself now on Islam (like reading the violent verses in the Quran and other Islamic sources and the history of Muhammad and Islam) other than by reading opposing viewpoints to the tired and old incorrect PC explanation as to why Islamic killers kill (deprived conditions) and what drives the ISIS/Al Qaeda/Hamas/Hezbollah/Iran/etc. motivation (Islam).
It’s the religion, stupid!
TruthWFree says
Meant to say “Good Post” and the last comment was directed at all those (unbelievers) who still come up with some excuse for Islamic murderous behavior…not you.
I truly believe that Obama is still a Muslim and wants to see Islam conquer the world…with him at the top, of course. Who knows for sure what’s in this guy’s mind? Obama cannot be so stupid as to not understand Islam’s goals to “make the religion supreme” (Sura 2-193). He’s doing his part in Jihad IMO.
Yohananw says
What pollyanna appeasement or ignoble collaboration is this? Deprivation? climate change? humiliation, denial and absence of dignity at the existence of Israel. These excuse political and personal responsibility for Muslims?

Thanks for posting that.
Our erudite Uncle “Willy” certainly had a very apt insight to human nature, as well as a beautiful terseness in language in expressing that biting insight.
Compare that quote of his with that of the nouveau arriviste Kerry…..just stepped off of his wife’s yacht at the Watergate there at the edge of the Potomac to drop in as the Hon. Secy. over at our august State Department [“august”, indeed, just ask those “diplomats” themselves] over at that Foggy Bottom neighborhood in the District.
That nickname for that area was infinitely more prescient than the coiners could’ve ever imagined.
When will we as voters learn that we sow what we reap at the ballot box?
[ doesn’t that seem to warrant a change in voter registration/eligibility? …..not as ‘off topic’ as may be imagined]
Oliver says
Mr. Griffin,
But of those who voted for nobtainer
MANY ARE DEAD– THEY ARE BEYOND CARING
and others are illegals ( many illiterate, or as a friend used to say-bi-lingual– stupid in two languages.
then there was/is the IRS scandal -against the tax status for conservative groups as a hindrance; then the anal pores who knowingly voted for these assholes.
But, in my view, the first three ( dead; illegals and IRS stopping conservative groups) are the main reason nobrainer won.

“We’re living at a point in time where there are just more young people demanding what they see the rest of the world having than at any time in modern history.” But, if that were true, which it isn’t, why is it only muslims who are slaughtering, both other muslims and non-muslims?
And, I fail to see the connection between ‘receding glaciers’ and muslim violence, there may be one but it escapes me!

Anyway I think I’ll just go one better:
“Islamic State not due to Islam, but due to little green men from the planet Zargon”.

I never believed our leaders could possibly become so Kafkaesque.
This seems more like a Saturday Night live skit except that’s its for real and not funny.
Neville Chamberlain has been reincarnated as John Kerry.
1938 is upon us and our leaders want to either hide their heads in the sand of political correctness and multiculturalism or perhaps heir motives are far worse? I’m starting to suspect the later.
George Orwell screams from the grave. I never thought his brilliant works of “Animal Farm” and “1984” could ever become true in the USA. As we know, “all animals are created equal”, said Orwell. But “some animals ( the progressive elite), are more equal than others”.
Folks, were in big trouble. Elections have consequences. Vote to remove these awful people from the greatest Government the world has ever known…….

“more young people demanding what they see the rest of the world having ”
Well rather than expending massive amounts of energy and money killing and beheading others, these “young people” could get their $ht together and get a job or start a business and earn money to acquire what others have. Rather than going to school they follow their eyemams, killing teachers and blowing up schools. Of course they murder women because they don’t want anyone to be seen as more intelligent than the average male muslim islamist terrorist.
Kerry shows repeatedly that he blindly follows his muslim leader who is hell bent to destroy America. I suspect he runs over to the White House every morning to give his great leader a BJ. Even the guys at work wonder why he and akbar ( sorry – barak – same letters) obama are still employed.
Oliver says
Obama * ( and Kerry) work and Obama elected (Kerry could not get enough) OF THE DEAD PEOPLE AND ILLEGALS TO VOTE FOR HIM.
OBAMA DID, TWICE.
Ever since the 1960 elections, when the dead in Illinois (primarily the Chicago area) and parts of Texas ( a strong dem state then) voted overwhelmingly for Kennedy (in a close election), the dems have used the dead voters whenever and wherever they can.
Their other is the “mail in” ballots that are discovered late; or the mail in votes from service people never arrive, but those from prisoners do.
that is why they are in power. My views.

I thought that Kerry was just a duffus, now I realize that he is a stupid duffus.
The drought is one of the causes of turmoil in the Middle East? They are located in the worlds greatest desert, which has been a desert for at least a thousand years.
The West is responsible for poverty? Where did Arafat get his millions? From robbing the Palestinians blind. Where does Iran spend it’s oil dollars? On arms and atom bomb research. The West is responsible for the Middle east poverty.

This sick, sick lyinhg bastard has been busy bashing Israel and supporting islam lately:
Islam Exposed: Kerry: Eid Idiot
http://islamexposed.blogspot.com/2014/10/kerry-eid-idiot.html?spref=tw
Kerry’s lying hate-speech spew deconstructed in excruciating detail:
Re: “Here in the State Department … We have the first faith-based office; we have the office reaching out to the Islamic world.”
First Amendment is seemingly against “Establishing religion,” and yet these busy little bees are hard at work doing just that, globally.
And, Re:
” And obviously, history is filled with that. I mean, you go back to the Thirty Years’ War in Europe and other periods of time, Protestants, Catholics, others who have fought. It’s not new to us. Tragically, it’s more prominent because media is more available today, the messaging is there, everybody is more aware on an instantaneous basis of what is happening. And of course it’s exploited by people who engage in this.”
Argumentum Tu Quoque; i.e:
“Christians have raped and beheaded each other in accordance with their religions’ official tenets, doctrines and commandments. Islam isn’t an evil crime because we all do it, too! Whee! The only difference is, the mopdern media is able to take note of it more quickly than in the past, so it’s really quite unfair of them to demonize islam at all for what we all used to do and occasionally still do to one another in the names of our religions! Whee!”
And besides, re:
“We’re living at a point in time where there are just more young people demanding what they see the rest of the world having than at any time in modern history.”
i.e: It’s really just natural for disaffected youths anywhere to demand that which their parents didn’t bother to earn, from those whose parents did decide to earn it. Poverty causes crime, don’t you know, especially in all those oil-rich but otherwise completely impoverished islamic countries.
Besides, re:
“And I don’t care who you are or what kind of government you have, nobody is impregnable with respect to those demands and those needs, and they have to be responded to at some point in time.”
i.e: “Our youths have formed armies who exult in beheading non-members and in raping their way across our continents, all in the name of Christianity, too! It’s just what youths everywhere do, don’tcha know!”
And as you know, it’s also the main job of governments everywhere to provide jobs to everyone:
“Don’t forget that what is happening now in Syria started with young people going out and demonstrating for jobs and for opportunity and for dignity and respect. And when they were met by clubs and repression, their parents went out to defend them. They joined in and said, “No, don’t do this to our kids. We want this.” And then they were met with bullets. And that’s what has brought this incredible, chaotic moment where we now have 10 million people or so displaced.”
Yep – that big bad Bashir Assad refused to employ everyone in his country, like any good self-respecting Western communist government like ours would have done, so of course they revolted, got Obama to fund and create ISIS to attack him, and chose to become homeless refugees raped and enslaved by islam. Perfectly natural and totally understandable human behavior, as can be commonly found anywhere on earth at any given time.
And why is there such a lack of jobs and global anger anyway?
Why, it’s the JEWS, of course!
“As I went around and met with people in the course of our discussions about the ISIL coalition, the truth is we – there wasn’t a leader I met with in the region who didn’t raise with me spontaneously the need to try to get peace between Israel and the Palestinians, because it was a cause of recruitment and of street anger and agitation that they felt – and I see a lot of heads nodding – they had to respond to.”
i.e:
“We – America and islam – must obviously, therefore partner together to stop the global denial of the Jews’ fault in all this, and to stop those Jews from continuing to take away all the Arabs’ dignity by humiliating them simply by existing.
Like you Arabs, we American Democrats aspire to a completely peaceful, Judenrein world at last.”

Kerry: Islamic State not due to Islam, but due to Israel and climate change
………………………….
What crap. Were this true, you would find Israeli Jews, Indian Hindus, Thai Buddhists, and African Christians all waging violent Jihad—after all, aren’t all of these places as hot as the Islamic State, Somalia, and Yemen?
And heck—we have drought conditions in California and Texas right now—but the only violent Jihad here is being waged by “lone wolf” Muslims—none of whom I have heard citing weather conditions as a factor.
More:
The situation was “complicated, and for other reasons,” Kerry said. “We’re living at a point in time where there are just more young people demanding what they see the rest of the world having than at any time in modern history.”
………………………….
More crap.
The Jihadists of the islamic State, Yemen, Somalia, northern Nigeria and elsewhere are not “demanding what they see the rest of the world having”—instead, they are demanding the “right” to mass-murder Infidels and use their women as sex slaves, to behead their “enemies”, and to impose Shari’ah on whoever is left.
We already know what lifts a society out of poverty—it is, broadly speaking, more freedom, especially more economic freedom. Taiwan, South Korea, Chile, India, Thailand, and other places have done a great deal to move toward first-world status in the last few decades, and the first three have virtually achieved it, though no would have guessed that they would have even thirty years ago. Even places like China and Mexico have made some moves, although things are still pretty uneven there.
But few things so doom a country to chaos, violence and poverty as the imposition of Shari’ah—it is, perhaps, even worse than hard-core Communism. The only “opportunity” under such a system is seizing the goods of murdered or enslaved Infidels.
But then, the purpose of imposing Islamic law is not to address poverty or lack of opportunity—it is an end in itself, and is the ultimate goal of every pious Muslim.
The witless John Kerry either does not understand this, or will not publicly admit it.

I didn’t know there was anybody left in the world who took any notice of the lunatic Kerry nor even the Muslim Hussein neé Soetoro born Kenya and a mafia pawn.

2nd time trying to post this.Addressing a reception at the State Department in honor of the recent Islamic holiday of Eid al-Adha,
This past week ended, for Jews, worldwide, three holidays, including our New Year ( Rosh Hashannah) and Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur). Did the state dept. hold a dinner for that?
If not why not. If not for Haym Solomon ( a Jew-who-although due to PC probably never mentioned in schools– financed George Washington and much of the American revolution-went broke, and the country did NOT BAIL HIM OUT).
Ditto for Christians (including Orthodox and Catholics) after Xmas and Easter.
Ditto Hindus and Buddhists after their holidays?
I cannot recall members of any of these religions (as an army officer-and a psychiatrist, no less) opening fire and killing people; beheading a worker in a food plant ( and wanting to kill more); or a few years ago (Buffalo, NY) running a cable tv station to show modern , peaceful Muslims, and beheading his wife.
WTF is going on?
My views.
