(CNSNews.com) – Declaring that “you cannot defeat what you don’t understand,” Secretary of State John Kerry on Thursday suggested some reasons why tens of thousands of young people are flocking to join terrorist groups in the Middle East.
Among some of the likely motivations he listed were deprivation, a desire to avenge the death of a loved one, a response to “acts of discrimination or repression,” the desire to belong to a group, and “rebellion against anonymity.”
Absent from the list was any belief – misguided or otherwise – that joining a terrorist group was an Islamic duty or demonstration of religious zeal. (He did make reference to proselytizing in prison.)

They just want good jobs with good benefits, right Hanoi Boi?
1, 2, 3, what are we fighting for ?
quote “you cannot defeat what you don’t understand”
huh?
what kind of tripe is that!?
Give me a gun, I blow the murderers brains out, and I never for one second had to “understand” him. But he is defeated.
The Eastern world...it is exploding...violence raring....
O’Neil/Corsi exposed johnSkerry’s “Patriotism” in Vietnam and to the world!!!
You have to understand traitors to defeat them.
Which clearly disqualifies everybody in the Obama administration from playing any role whatsoever in the war against Islamic terrorism.
You have to understand them to defeat them????
You can’t even name them. You’ve got to be kidding.
This lying and denial by our Sunni POTUS and his Muslim Brotherhood buds is forcing leaders from other countries to take matters in their hands re killing off Isis. These good leaders will not tolerate ISIS and its supporters.
We sure understand Kerry, Obama, Hillary, and the rest of the lunatic liberals.
So, Fraud, when is the James Taylor scheduled for?
I do understand them...
They are muslims who want to take over the planet and kill everyone who is not muslim.
How hard is that?
” This lying and denial by our Sunni POTUS and his Muslim Brotherhood buds is forcing leaders from other countries to take matters in their hands re killing off Isis.”
It has been that way for years.
With ISIS serial killers acting in full violence, the leaders of the countries impacted by their violence are taking matters of killing ISIS members in their hands.
“Why do people make what to many of us would seem to be an utterly wrongheaded choice and become the kind of terrorists that we’re seeing?” he asked. “It’s a question that we need to approach with humility, but also with determination, because you cannot defeat what you don’t understand.”
“Certainly, there is no single answer,” Kerry continued. “In our era, poisonous ideas can come from almost anywhere – from parents, teachers, friends, preachers, politicians – from the pretty woman on a radical website who lures people or the man in the next cell who proselytizes while in prison.
“They might grow from pictures seen on the nightly news or from acts of discrimination or repression that you don’t think much about on the day of occurrence, but which come back to haunt. It could come from the desire to avenge the death of a loved one,” he said.
“In some cases, they may come from a lost job or from the contrast between one family’s empty dinner plate and a fancy restaurant’s lavish menu. The poison might even come from within, in the form of rebellion against anonymity, the desire to belong to a group, people who want a moment of visibility and identity, or the hunger for black-and-white answers to problems that are very complex in a remarkably more complicated world.”
I wish everyone of these morons would go to Iraq with a handful of daisies and understanding and see where that gets them.
