Kerry repeats this yet again without explaining it. In reality, the Islamic State’s beheadings (47:4), sex slavery (4:3, 4:24, 23:1-6, 33:50, 70:30), subjugation of Christians (9:29), global imperative (8:39) and more are all based upon the Qur’an. Indeed, everything the Islamic State does is scrupulously based on the Qur’an and Sunnah. But Kerry doesn’t feel any need to explain his claim; he knows it would be “Islamophobic” to dispute it.
As for expecting Pakistan to be more energetic in fighting against jihad terrorism, it has only been fifteen years since 9/11. The U.S. has given billions to Pakistan to fight the jihadis. Much of that money has ended up in the hands of the jihadis themselves. Yet no one in Washington ever wakes up to what is happening.
“Pakistan needs to work harder against its indigenous terrorist groups: John Kerry strikes again,” PTI, August 31, 2016:
US Secretary of State is currently on his visit to India and addressed a session at IIT-Delhi.
US Secretary of State John Kerry on Wednesday said it is clear that Pakistan has to do more for eliminating sanctuaries of terror on its soil and push harder against indigenous groups engaged in terrorist activities. However, he conceded that Pakistan itself has also been a victim of terrorism and lost over 50,000 people.
In what is seen as a clever balancing act, while pitching for strong action by Pakistan against terror outfits, Kerry said when Islamabad takes action there is usually “pretty intense pushback and blowback which makes it harder”. Addressing a session at IIT-Delhi, he said terror groups like Daesh, Al Qaeda, LeT and JeM cannot be fought by a single nation.
“We are working on it. I have been working on this issue very hard. I have had many engagements with (Pakistan Prime Minister) Nawaz Sharif. We have been talking on the sanctuaries in the western part of the country, how to deal more effectively with the Haqqani network and the LeT. It is clear that Pakistan has work to do in order to push harder against its indigenous groups that are engaged in terrorist activities. They must work with us to help clear sanctuary of bad actors who are affecting not only India- Pakistan relationship but also our ability to achieve peace and stability in Afghanistan,” Kerry said.
Without elaborating, Kerry said said he believes that in the last few months, progress has been made and the Pakistanis are moving at a greater pace. The US Secretary said that “in fairness” Pakistan has suffered greatly from terrorism.
“More than 50,000 people have been killed… people define a great religion Islam in a way that doesn’t reflect that religion. They steal it, hijack it. When Pakistan do take action there’s usually pretty intense pushback and blowback which makes (tackling terror) it harder,” he said….

First, is just John Kerry is determined to keep on exposing his own complete and total ignorance of the subjects of Islam and ISIS. Second, the malice –filled heinously cruel misogyny because their religion in not only anti-female but it also teaches extreme harshness to non-Muslims .The Koran as in 9:123. Third, the vicious and murderous jihadists thugs who compose the brutal and deadly jihad entity ISIS are actually putting in to the practice ,with all their ruthless actions, the violence and killing that is part of the teaching of the “holy book” of Islam ,the Koran. Which contain the doctrine of extreme violent force for the advancement of Islam. As seen in the Koran, for example, 2:191. 4:89. 5:33. 9:5,111,123. 47:4. So in spite of the strong denials by many, ISIS is an actual Islamic organization. Likewise the malicious, bloodthirsty violence jihadists who make up ISIS are real Muslims. Nevertheless, there are some who might , understandably, wonder and then ask “Just how can those jihadists of ISIS ,being so very religious , also at the time also be so very malice-filled ,unfeeling and deadly ? “ The answer to that question is found in the Bible. For the Bible teaches that there are some people who are extremely heartless, cold, callous and dangerous because they have had “their conscience seared with a hot iron.” First Timothy 4:2. [ K.J.V.] In this case of the members of ISIS this “hot iron” is Islam.
Trico (@tricolorro) says
“J…ohn Kerry is determined to keep on exposing his own complete and total ignorance of the subjects of Islam…”

Watch this short video of George W Bush’s “Islam means Peace” speech made after after 9/11. note that Georgie Boy is surrounded by members of the Muslim brotherhood, oops, I mean members of CAIR. It’s hard to see but I’m pretty sure one of the CAIR boys has his hand up Georgie Porgie’s butt and is working his lips like a Ventriloquist.
Disclaimer: I take no responsibility should you feel nauseous or vomit either while watching the video or shortly afterward. some viewers have reported contracting an incurable, highly contagious disease known as infidelitis. Watch at your own risk.

To Trico…,Yes I agree that Bush that made a false and ignorant statement when he said that “Islam means peace.” Bush was very wrong in saying such a fool thing. Nevertheless that does not excuse John Kerry from his own total falsehoods that he keeps on proclaiming.
August West says
Interestingly enough – I saw the Weiner movie on Amazon last night. During the movie Weiner got into an argument in what appeared to be a bakery or similar establishment. This was 2013 during an election for which Weiner was a candidate.
In the movie was a clip from CNN which covered the altercation. What was interesting was that running on the bottom ticker was a news feed that Russia was disputing Syria’s use of chemical weapons in the war.
It occurred to me that we are still talking about Weiner exposing himself on the internet 3 years later (another story on him broke this week) and we are still talking about Russian involvement in Syria.
My point is that the Islam = Peace propaganda from Kerry will just keep coming unaltered, and we will still be hearing this crap well into the future. It will not matter how many people die or are tortured in the process. Kerry/Obama/Clinton et al simply do not care. They will not be killed or tortured.
Muslims vote in large blocks and they have a LOT of money.

Part Eight; Islamic Apocalypse!
(from The Undoing:Islam by its own words, the amazing free e-book that’s turning heads in some very high places. Get your free copy or read it online here;- http://abelandsolomon.simplesite.com/424568444 , for the bigger picture read our full length book Islamic Apocalypse;- https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01AS09LYW )
A World Caliphate
Surveys have consistently shown that a clear majority of Muslims around the world want to live under a Caliphate governed by Sharia Law. In Europe, 65% of Muslims immigrants thought Islamic rules were more important than the laws of the country they were living in. Every day the news media carry stories of the Islamic State beheading enemy fighters, brutal executiing gays, enslaving and raping non-Muslim women and more. Thousands of Muslim volunteers from around the globe have rushed to be part of this new Caliphate. The Islamic State openly tries to emulate Mohammed’s original Islam. This is not surprising given the millions of dollars of oil revenue that Muslim countries have invested around the world in building mosques and funding preachers who are actually just spreading true Mohammedan Islam. The ultimate aim of Islam is to bring the whole world under Islamic government and Sharia law, to be governed by the Koran.
666 – The Mark of the Beast
The Book of Revelation (13:15) says that the False Prophet causes those who will not worship the image of the Beast to be killed. Isn’t that what the Koran does; (9:5); “Kill the unbelievers…”? Are you aware of any other religion which orders its followers to kill everyone else? Revelation (20:4) even says the Christian martyrs will be “beheaded”, which is what the Koran commands in verse (8:12) “I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads… ” Another clue to the identity of the Beast comes from Revelation verses (13:16-18); “Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the Beast, for it is the multitude of a man and its number is 666”. The Greek symbols for 666 were handwritten on St John’s original manuscript of the book as well as in early copies such as the Codex Vaticanus and they are uncannily similar to the Arabic word “Bismillah” meaning “in the name of Allah”. In fact, the handwritten Greek symbols are its mirror image accompanied by two crossed swords, a symbol for both Islam and jihad. Google “666 Allah” and see!
World War III and Satan’s Throne
It seems like the Apocalypse is very near, an end time prophecy that is materialising now talks about Iraq, Isaiah (13:16) says; “Their children will be smashed to death before their eyes; their houses will be looted, and their wives raped.” This is exactly what the Islamic State have been doing. We also now know from recently discovered documents that both Al Qaeda and the Islamic State have deliberately sought to provoke a worldwide military conflict between Islam and the rest of the world. There are a number of Islamic nations too which are being driven by Apocalyptic theology. These Muslims deeply believe that it is their duty to Allah to push the world towards a final great Armageddon; “Proclaim this among the nations: Prepare for holy war; rouse the warriors; let all the men of war advance and attack! …Let the nations be roused…. Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.” (Joel 3:9,12,14)
Armageddon; the Valley of Decision
Indeed, we are already in that war, it is wrongly called the “war on terror” but it really is a sort of war between Islam and the “West”. As the true Islam of Mohammed and his Koran are the very root of this “terror”, (and don’t forget that over 95% of all terrorism in the world is Islamist), we are currently in a World War III of ideas and ideals under another name. A spiritual and intellectual war of ideas and ideals. But a physical one too.

gravenimage says
Harbidoll, the Ottoman Empire was not the only Islamic Caliphate. Erdogan has been playing footsie with ISIS, though.
As for the idea that Iran’s leaders are “Turks”, this is just like the claim that they are “Jews”–some Iranians are not fond of the Mullahs, but do not want to admit that they are orthodox Shi’ite Muslims, but are instead other-sect Sunnis. The claim that they are Jews, of course, means that the Mullahs are (supposedly) not even Muslim.
J-A palmaer says
“More than”… This idea excludes all other millions and millions of people that has been mrudered out one and the Sam “religion” with it one and the same “cause”… Now, how come such a wonderful “religion” being able to keep on growing the same sentiment that was there from the very start 1400 years ago? I assume there is actually no progress – it all is regress – they want to “reestablish Islamic law” (I have heard this myself…and the meaning is to “re-establish according to the predicting Koran, which was there “before creation”…) all “over the world”. It is not only so called “jihadists” saying they want to “re-establish a chaliphate” from some previous age, but the “idea of the Koran” from a “pre-creational” “spiritual(?) state… This is not about some murders in Pakistan – it is “theology” – even it should be called “demonology”… Sorry about these harsh words. Any ideas of progress???
“More than 50,000 people have been killed… people define a great religion Islam in a way that doesn’t reflect that religion. They steal it, hijack it. When Pakistan do take action there’s usually pretty intense pushback and blowback which makes (tackling terror) it harder,” he said….

Islam is as Islam does. How is it possible that non-Muslim Kerry knows more about Islam than men who have been fed a steady diet of the Quran and Sunnah at every meal since they were just wee little child Jihadis. Simple….it is NOT possible. Kerry’s Islam is what’s known as “Fantasy Islam”, as opposed to the one that actually exists.
Kerry’s obliviousness is due to the fact that he lives in an alternate reality….or unreality, in his case. This guy should be sailing his yacht off Montauk on a permanent basis, he’s so out of his depth. Fact is, ISIS and all the other bearded, Allah Akbar shouting, wife-beating, child marrying, infidel beheading, slave driving, child raping, ultra violent, sharia-loving, homophobic, devout Muslim imbeciles currently setting the world on fire and murdering thousands in the name of their 7th century God, have not done one thing their deranged, mentally disturbed, murderous, sex slaving, con man of a prophet didn’t do first. I’d tell Kerry to get a clue, but he wouldn’t know a clue if it came up and bit him in the bum.

He’s using the first old saw: it’s been hijacked. But he doesn’t give any reason why the *real* moslims haven’t done more to *take it back* from the hijackers.
When thieves hijack a truck with goods in it, it remains a truck with goods in it. They just take the profits from it for themselves.
When thieves hijack a plane, they still fly it someplace, to reach a destination…even if that destination is into the side of tall buildings full of innocent people.
Even if isis, al queda or the moslim brotherhood *hijacked* islam, they are still using it just as those who haven’t “hijacked” it.
In one country, he says we shouldn’t be told what the moslims are up to. In another country, with fewer moslims in the audience perhaps, he spouts off other nonsense.
Wonder what his home life is like? Wonder if he covers over burned roast with ketchup as he tries to cover evil with lies?
Liars are bound for a destination that they will not like. And that’s the truth.
Xero_G says
So tell us Lurch, what’s so “great” about Islam? Is it the mind-numbing repetition of praying 5 times a day? The obligation to globally spread Islam by any means necessary including mass murder? The sick, twisted story of their founder who promoted genocide, marrying children, beheading captives, raping sex slaves, drinking camel urine, and much more? Islam is a “great” religion alright – a GREAT scourge on the Earth that needs to be eradicated in its fundamental form.

MR. KERRY, WHOM DO YOU THINK YOU’RE FOOLING?

Well, I can see yet again that Kerry is flapping his gums and emitting winds. Doesn’t this man ever bother to read the bloody Quran? Here is the description of Allah in a nutshell in the Quran: 51:56. I have only created Jinns and men, that they may serve Me.
Allah is incapable of love. He does not love mankind. He only created mankind to serve him. There is no relationship between Allah and mankind. Allah is as hateful as Satan and as hateful as Muhammad. So Allah is either Satan, or he is the figment of a charlatan’s imagination. Islam is not a religion. It is a bloody death cult and it must be destroyed. Kerry for the firing squad along with Hillary and Obama. Vote Trump.

eduardo odraude says
There is a “good side” to Islam. The problem is that in Islamic doctrine, the good side is maybe 20%, the totalitarian side is more like 80%. Though one can’t always neatly separate the 80% evil from the 20% good, either. Apart from doctrine, just referring now to Muslims, polls seem to indicate that the majority of Muslims in the world favor totalitarian aspects of Islam. Maybe 20% of the world’s Muslims strongly believe in free speech and full freedom of religion, and strongly reject Islamic law.
Of course, because Islam punishes its critics with violence and death, it can be difficult to know the exact percentages, but Pew polls give a pretty good idea.
Mirren10 says

Is Kerry, the so-called Sec. of State, really so ignorant of the Qur’an, Hadith, and Sira, the core Islamic texts? Or is he just lying?
Is it possible he knows Islam is a religion of war, conquest, and totalitarianism, but he thinks it can only be contained, not defeated, and he (and Obama) think that the only realistic way to contain Islam is for Islam’s enemies to exercise an Orwellian gambit against Islam, to keep as many Muslims as possible asleep to their own religion’s sharia-jihadist doctrinal core based on the life of Muhammad, all while the American government quietly seeks to kill off the jihadis where prudent and practicable to do so? In short, is the goal a quiet, under the table dominance over pure Islam? Is covert control believed to be the least risky, most conservative path, the path of least global instability, and fewest mass deaths?
No, I think the administration is really trapped in the PC paradigm that rejects or marginalizes all evidence that Islam is not like other religions.

Obama has already brought 10,000 Syrians into the U.S., reminding me of the lyrics of “The Snake” which says “you knew I was a snake when you took me in”.

Just remember. John F’n Kerry, “Swift boat veteran,” winter warrior who teamed up with frauds to lie about Vietnam vets pillaging that country like “Jinjis Khan,” junior Senator from Massachusetts, parked his brand new New Zealand built $7M yacht in Rhode Island because that state had repealed its Boat Sales and Use Tax and saved tax-loving hundreds of thousands of dollars than if he had parked Isabel in his home state of Taxachussetts. Taxachussets would have charged him the 6.25% that little Rhody didn’t. Do the math. $7M yacht. And he must have had his US-designed yacht built in New Zealand, thus denying Americans the job, because he saved a few bucks. Patriot, he.
The whole episode was emblematic of this creature, who can’t be described as a man. Theresa Heinz’s gigolo has never been a man.
There is no religion being hijacked here. The only thing being hijacked is my reputation. He dishonored the same Navy uniform I wore for twenty years. He continues to dishonor it, what with his shameless suck uppery to the Iranians after they transgressed and took our sailors hostage. Not that there isn’t blame to go around given the inexcusable laxity at that command, as any sailor who operated in the Gulf and didn’t let that happen to them knows. But Kerry betrayed the Navy and the country AGAIN by thanking the Iranians for the humiliation.
Yes, Kerry knows a great deal about theft and hijacking. Also marrying up. Nothing about Islam, though.

Sec. Clinton replaced with an empty headed John Kerry, both have done enough damage to our nation.
