President Obama and members of his administration frequently state that there is nothing Islamic about the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), but Secretary of State John Kerry on Tuesday went further, labeling the Sunni terrorist group "apostates."

Even the world's pre-eminent Sunni institution, Cairo's Al-Azhar, has refused to declare ISIS apostate -- on the grounds that its fighters are "believers" in Islam, however misguided or "false" their interpretation of the faith may be. ...

The fellow who said “Inshallah” to the notion of a deal with Iran going through is now a self-appointed imam who knows more than Al-Azhar.

And ISIS considers many so-called moderate Muslims apostates as well.

So John Kerry is now an ayatollah. He knows so much that he can make judgments about what the real Islam is. This is beyond farce. Kerry’s arrogance, which is legendary to begin with (”Do you know who I am?”), has achieved a new impressive level — it has rocketed into the stratosphere beyond where the arrogance of most politicians dares to tread. He knows Islam. What??!?! You disagree?!?!? Do you know who he is????

I love the way all these guys are suddenly Islamic authorities and telling Muslims what they believe. Anybody think the Muslims would even bother to give them the time of day?

Kerry, if you're going to make these pronouncements, you have to grow a beard first.

Oh, you started one but you shaved it? What's that about?

It always amazes me when secular progressives scold the rest of us about what a particular religion teaches or doesn’t. It is doubly amazing when the religion would aggressively impose itself upon those same progressives should it ever gain power.

Progressives think the future world will be increasingly progressive, eventually leading to the progressive Utopia.

Muslims think the future world will be Muslim with the few infidels paying jizzya.

Progressives think they can co-opt the Muslims. But of the two groups, Muslims can be far more ruthless far more quickly than can the Progressives. Guess who wins that contest? Guess what Muslims do to the infidel losers.

I don’t think they are apostates at all.

They aren’t even phony believers in their religion like Kerry himself - a divorced man who professes to be a Catholic yet takes Holy Communion against the dictates of the church and supports abortion in violation of one of the most strongly held beliefs of the church.

No...

These savages are just regular old garden variety muslims who are a little more ready to openly practice what they believe instead of putting up a pretense of being moderate.

“Kerry is mentally retarded.”

Or, Kerry is a Mullah. Not much difference.

ISIS is only apostate if they stop taking orders form the chief Mullah, BHO.

What is "apostate" about Muslim believers who are simply following the plainly written dictates of the Koran?

Didn't Kerry ever take a course in Logic?

I can see why he shaved it. That looks more like some kind of fungus growing on his face than a beard.

I’m waiting for Mullah Obama (or is he an Ayatollah now?) to issue a fatwa. I think I’ll be waiting a while...
