Kerry: 'Root Cause of Terrorism' Is Poverty 'In many cases...' Jeryl Bier January 15, 2014 7:12 AM
Secretary of State John Kerry covered a broad range of topics with his counterpart Pietro Parolin at the Vatican in Rome on Monday. Besides Syria, the Middle East peace process, Sudan, and Cuba, the subject of poverty came up during their discussions.
In remarks following the meeting, Kerry linked poverty not only to terrorism, but to the "disenfranchisement of millions" [emphasis added]:
We talked about the common interest of Pope Francis and President Obama in addressing poverty and extreme poverty on a global basis. The United States of America is deeply involved in efforts in Africa and in other parts of the world – in Asia, South Central Asia – to address this poverty, as is the Catholic Church. And so we have a huge common interest in dealing with this issue of poverty, which in many cases is the root cause of terrorism or even the root cause of the disenfranchisement of millions of people on this planet.
Kerry's statement echoes comments he made in October 2013 at the Global Counterterrorism Forum after terrorist attacks in both Nairobi, Kenya, and Peshawar, Pakistan: "Getting this right isn’t just about taking terrorists off the street. It’s about providing more economic opportunities for marginalized youth at risk of recruitment."
“Root Cause of Terrorism Is Poverty”...NO it’s ISLAM!
Wrong, John. The root cause of Terrorism is bad ketchup.
I can see Kerry’s point, BUT...terrorist leaders are not using Catholicism or Buddhism to recruit trainees.
WE know which cult they’re pulling from...
The root cause of terrorism is terrorists.
Haiti is one of the most poverty stricken places on the planet.....yet you don’t hear of any terrorist acts emanating from there....hmmmm, now why is that?
Which is Dumber?
Poverty - such as is felt by the impoverished Saudi Royal Family.
Johnny, Johnny, Johnny - You shouldn’t be skipping your meds like this. It makes you silly.
The root cause of terrorism is ISLAM!
Osama Bin Laden and Yassir AraPIGfat both died with billions of dollars.
Class warfare bullstalin doesn’t float.
I don’t know the current standings but about a decade ago, half of the world’s 10 richest men lived in the Middle East.

It’s ISLAM, you f’n idiots!How hard can it be to see this?
That's what I was meaning and should have said it better. This regime is developing domestic terrorists!
And, to your point of the faux "IRS Investigation". It's a travesty for the American people to put up with that BS! Nixon did it and quit before he could be impeached. This b*st*rd in the White Hut deserves no less and maybe more!
The poor people are the biggest Dem constituency, so now they are terrorists, cool.
