U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and actress Angelina Jolie attended an iftar dinner on Monday an iftaar dinner in Sterling, Va., as part of the World Refugee Day events.
Speaking at the event held at All Dulles Area Muslim Society (ADAMS) Center, Kerry began his speech with the Muslim greeting "Assalamu Alaikum" [Peace be upon you] and congratulated Muslim's on their holy month of Ramadan.
He added that refugees are not a threat to the American society and that it is not part of American values to discriminate against people based on their religion or nationality.
During the event, which included members of various faiths, the call to prayer was recited by a Muslim U.S. officer.
Kerry addressed the issue of the high and rising global number of refugees. "If we were to compile all refugees in one country, it would be the world's 22nd most crowded country," Kerry said.
Kerry also criticized the increase in Islamphobic incidents in the U.S. "Hatred against Muslims, making them a target serves the interest of the terror groups. There is a tendency to show that there is a war between the U.S. and Islam. This is not true. There is no other country like the U.S. where Muslims can live freely," Kerry said.
Jolie also spoke during the event, expressing her appreciation for attending the iftar dinner with members of various religions.
Like Kerry, Jolie drew attention to the increased xenophobic incidents, in addition to refugee numbers, calling on all states to share the burden and responsibility in tackling these problems.
"All humans are born equal and entitled to the equal rights," Jolie said.
I have a NEVER HILLARY bumper sticker but I won’t put it on my brand new Tahoe because I don’t want my Tahoe keyed by a liberal . They put stickers because Conservatives are for the most part, not people who are going to damage their cars.
Jolie drew attention to the increased xenophobic incidents, in addition to refugee numbers, calling on all states to share the burden and responsibility in tackling these problems. "All humans are born equal and entitled to the equal rights," Jolie said.Like Kerry, the entertainment industry nitwit supports abortion on demand. She will also NEVER condemn Islamic mass murders as "xenophobic incidents".
Re: He added that refugees are not a threat to the American society
If you have to go out of our way to point that out, it likely is not true at all.
"We used to be thought of by everyone who knew us as stupid, sloppy, wild, and overrated. Now we have transformed ourselves into elegant states people and no one knows that we are still really, really dumb."
Personally, I like the “coexist” stickers. It shows us clearly who the mentally deficient are among us and thus are easier to avoid on the road.
49 Americans were unable to register their dissent.
I see “COEXIST” stickers around the town in which I have my business. Most people there are affluent, and thus not likely to be mentally deficient (e.g., low IQ, schizophrenic, etc.)
However, having such a sticker identifies one as being brainwashed, as well as being literally spiritually blind. One “faith” is NOT as good as another!!!! And neither islam nor militant atheism is willing to coexist with, for example, Orthodox Christianity.
He’s just that stupid.
They both look CRAZY in this picture. Look at the eyes!!!!
Both of them are also sworn enemies of the Serbian people and of the Orthodox Church. It is by no means benign and “peaceful” that they show up at an Iftar.
PHOOEY!!!!
I have admired her in the past but we part ways with her thinking savages have the right to be my neighbor while I am forced to pay the savage’s bills.
NO WAY!
He’s an asshole and she’s dumb.
So you are saying all those people went to Amazon to get their sticker?
I thought it was an organized group that was distributing them?
In that picture, you can literally SEE Jolies’ sense of “I’m REALLY, REALLY doing something special and I’m like totally awesome and stuff”.....
SJW’s and Political Correctness is all about the ego.
There probably was and is an original source. But now, if you think that a COEXIST sticker is “cool”, you can get one through Amazon.
One has to be totally blind in one’s noetic eyes (”the eyes of one’s heart”; spiritual eyes) to think that a COEXIST sticker is “cool”. And by displaying a COEXIST sticker, one is spreading the disease of spiritual blindness! PHOOEY!!!!
Here’s the original source! Their operations are VERY insidious!!!!

Her’s some info on the original design and designer. Note the involvement of Bono and U2 in this insidious campaign!!

Like the clintons, Bono runs a “charity” where heard his associates rake off most of the cash, and the needy get the crumbs. PHOOEY!!!!
I like the coexist sticker where the letters are made up of various armories and gun manufacturers logos
There’s also the the one where all the other letters are running for their very lives, from the C (whose wielding a knife).
That’s the best one of all!!!!
The COEXIST bumper stickers are sometimes accompanied with the DARWIN Walking Fish sticker.
