Kerry: Real Face of Islam is Health Care Not Beheadings

QATAR-US-DIPLOMACY

John Kerry tried to read the Idiot’s Guide to the Koran, then he switched to a tape of Islam for Dummies and then he finally gave up and just assumed that Muslims were like the Amish but with longer beards.

Kerry spoke to a largely-Islamic audience at the State Department Wednesday, which had assembled to recognize State’s new “special representative for Muslim communities,” Shaarik Zafar. But the planned event was overshadowed by the brutal beheading of Sotloff by ISIS fighters in Iraq, pushing the secretary to again publicly condemn the group.

“But here today, what is really important — and I want to take advantage of this podium and of this moment, to underscore as powerfully as I know how — that the face of Islam is not the butchers who killed Steven Sotloff,” he continued, to immediate applause. “That’s [ISIS].”

“The face of Islam is not the nihilists who know only how to destroy, not to build,” Kerry went on. “It’s not masked cowards whose actions are an ugly insult to the peaceful religion that they violate every single day with their barbarity, and whose fundamental principles they insult with their actions.”

“The real face of Islam is a peaceful religion based on the dignity of all human beings,” the secretary asserted. “It’s one where Muslim communities are leading the fight against poverty. It’s one where Muslim communities are providing basic health care and emergency assistance on the frontlines of some of our most devastating humanitarian crises.”

What better moment could there be to push a completely revisionist history of Islam than while commemorating a man murdered by the Islamic State.

But which Muslim country represents this peaceful religion that offers dignity to all human beings? Saudi Arabia? Qatar? Kuwait? Yemen? Iran? Turkey? Indonesia? ISIS?

Muslim countries are poor because of their feudal structure. Their best doctors become terrorists. The real face of Islam is ISIS, not an army of Muslim NGOs fighting poverty and then funneling the money to Al Qaeda.

    Wow.

    Does Kerry pay attention to anything? Is he aware of the abject poverty in which so many Muslims live? He has to be totally unaware because the reality for the average Muslim in just about every Muslim country is not a fight against poverty and disease. If he were to open his eyes when he travels to the Mid East he would see the reality does not match his claim.

      Has Kerry ever walked through a Muslim city instead of being chauffeured? There is a big difference.

      • IslamDownpressesHumanity

        His trips through moslem cities consist of shuttling from international airports to government buildings in armored SUV convoys stuffed full of men w/fully automatic machine guns.

          …these armed escorts presumably to protect him from sudden attacks from Islamophobes, Christians, Buddhists, Quakers, and especially Jains.

      The two main exports of Islamic countries—oil and terrorism.

    Professor Kerry is teaching a graduate-level master class, “Dhimmitude 101.” Merely following the example set by his naive boss, who is such an intellectually dishonest and myopic apologist for the ideology of Submission, he can’t even concede that there is a causal, scriptural connection between Submission’s tenets as stated in the Qu’ran, and, the totalitarian-fascistic savagery of a large number of its adherents.

    CAIR’s outreach director couldn’t have said it better.

    Beheading is Muslim brain surgery. So they’re on the same page there.

      Kerry, the spokesman of “wimpism.” The biggest problem in the world is not terrorism, but global climate change – another gem and an example of “wimpism,” This is the foreign policy of the US under King Barack.

      Now, if Kerry has said that stopping the spread of the Ebola Virus was an international concern, he would have made sense. Instead, we get appeasement or “wimpism.”

  • Libslayer

    I’ll say it again. I doubt that Kerry has an IQ over 70.
    He makes Obama look smart, and that’s not easy.

    • Pete

      “In fact, Bush’s were a tad higher. His four-year average was 77; Kerry’s 76. Both were C students. Kerry graduated from Yale in 1966; Bush in 1968.”

      Generally, your IQ does not go up after you reach maturity but it can go down.

      If you get trapped thinking in small circles (if you are in an echo chamber) you couldvbery well become an idi0t.

    • Crassus

      Kerry, the Secretary of Wind Surfing, makes Thunder Thighs Hillary look competent and that’s harder still.

    Lmao @ the opening paragraph. How true!

    Really??
    Are there State department special representatives for Buddhists, Hindus, Santerians, Christians etc?

    The fact that John Kerry, Obama and other such willfully blind dhimmis keep belabouring the point of peaceful Islam, says it all.

    We don’t see academics, lamestream media pundits, politicians and other government officials bending over backwards to tell us “Hinduism is peace”, “Buddhism is peace.”
    They don’t need to, because it is abundantly evident that other non-Islamic religions are peaceful.

    Stop, stop! I have to catch my breath! He must get his writers from SNL!

    “…are on the frontlines of some of our most devastating crises.” Wait, wait.

    Whew!

    Of course they’re on the frontlines, who do you think is doing the devastating?

    Not since Henny Youngman!

    In Islamist entities, Beheading is Out Patient surgery.
