Not to worry. John Kerry is on the case. And once he has secured peace in our time, he should travel to Raqqa to explain to the Islamic State’s caliph how he is misunderstanding Islam.
“As Kerry, Lavrov grope to secure Syria truce, Islamic State blasts claim at least 127,” Japan Times, February 22, 2016:
SAYYIDA ZEINAB, SYRIA – A string of suicide bombings near a Shiite shrine outside Syria’s capital and in Homs claimed by jihadis killed at least 127 people Sunday, as Washington and Moscow worked to secure a cease-fire.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said a provisional deal had been reached on the terms of a truce in Syria’s brutal five-year conflict, only for the bloodshed to intensify on the ground.
Near Damascus, the attacks, including a car bombing, ripped through the area of the Shiite shrine of Sayyida Zeinab and killed 68 people, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
And two car bombs killed at least 59 people and wounded dozens in the pro-regime district of Al-Zahraa in the central city of Homs, said the Britain-based monitoring group.
The Islamic State jihadi group said it was behind the day’s carnage.
State television footage from Homs showed emergency workers carrying a charred body on a stretcher past devastated shops and mangled cars and minibuses.
Al-Zahraa — whose residents are mostly from the same Alawite sect of Shia Islam as Syria’s ruling clan — has been regularly targeted.
Islamic State said in an online statement that two jihadis drove explosive-laden cars into crowds of local residents.
Two more of its suicide bombers carried out the Sayyida Zeinab bombings, the Sunni extremist group said.
State television said a car bombing and two suicide attacks hit the area, killing 30 and wounding dozens in a preliminary toll, whereas the Observatory gave a death toll of 68 in four attacks.
An AFP reporter said the blasts struck about 400 meters from the shrine that contains the grave of a granddaughter of the Prophet Muhammad and is revered by Shiites.
At least 60 shops were damaged and cars reduced to mangled metal in the area, where a January attack also claimed by Islamic State killed 70 people….

JUST LIKE IN SODDY BARBARIA! The Soddies are doing the same thing to the Shi’ites in their country!
Wow! No difference between ISIS and KSA!
Same Salafism…same savage barbarians!
Do you see a difference? I don’t see a difference.

And again Obama could claim that the IS is killing mostly Muslims because of that lasting already 1400 years “misunderstanding within religion of peace.”
CogitoErgoSum says
So who are the good Muslims and who are the perverted Muslims again? I can’t wait until the kinder, gentler European Muslims start showing everybody the way a REAL Muslim is supposed to act.
Charli Main says
Anyone interested in how the ” kinder, gentler European Muslims ” will behave when they make Europe a part of Dar al Islam, should read the history of the 400 year Ottoman Muslim occupation of Eastern Europe.
Feminists should be particularly interested in what the Ottoman Muslims did to European women who refused to ” service ” them.

Paladin says
Why don’t Kerry, Obama, et al understand that in order for a cease fire to work, all parties have to want it to work? ISIS never signed on to that. This is a cynical ploy by Obama to get the Russians to stop attacking his proxy army ISIS in their war against Assad.

I guess the Transportation Security Administration must have things under control state side, because the Sunnis are back at work killing Shiites just to keep in shape …
Oliver says
I see nothing wrong with that- so long as they do it in Syria; Iraq; Iran: Lebanon; Pakistan, Yemen; Somalia; and the the other countries. In the US- if they confine their killings to the (il)liberal elites and assorted asshole leftists support them. And leave normal people alone.
(And, they can kill some of their benefactor “leaders”- no great loss, there, either).
Just my Politically Incorrect views.

Kerry is like an angel of death. If he starts attending and promoting peace talks and blabbing how peace is around the corner, you know the bloodshed is only going to intensify and whole new wars will start. Israelis can tell you as much.
mortimer says
How can John Kerry (who has not read Islam’s source texts) explain Islam to Caliph al Baghdadi who is better read on Islam than most university professors who teach Islam? (That assessment is according to al Baghdadi’s BA, MA and PhD teachers.)
John Kerry like most Western elites feels that his enormous LACUNA of knowledge about Islam and by merely hearing comments and interpretations from Saudi princes about Islam.. those factors make him an ‘expert’ on Islam in some way that has not been measured by anyone but himself. How can knowing almost nothing on a topic make one an ‘expert’? Clearly, it cannot. So Kerry is a preposterous self-promoter when it comes to the topic of Islam. Has he no shame?
Kerry hasn’t an inkling of how complicated Islam truly is and how it takes up to 20 years to truly master the subject…so complicated is Islam’s reasoning based on its massive tangle of contradictions and its inventive interpretations.
People like Kerry truly make the jihadists laugh. They can tell him piles of taqiyya and trick him to believe it practically every time.
Western journalists and their editors are truly letting the Western world down as well when they do not respect their readers and viewers enough to get journalists with a solid education in Islamic knowledge and the bases of jihadism in Islam’s foundational sources texts.
An abysmal LACUNA of learning about Islam all around! It is culpably negligent. Western politicians are making disastrous decisions based on speculative interpretations of Islam not based in fact. They are throwing away thousands of lives, billions of dollars and the stability and prosperity of Western countries.

Ah, let’s just hope and pray that the Sunnis will retaliate, that the Shias will retaliate, that the Sunnis will…..
Atheists, you pray too!
Oliver says
DFD– right on, and may the numbers increase ( in each retaliation).

Pretty good example of the absolutely useless contribution has they have made! All religions by the way! Time for a new paradigm!
