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."
if you look at the who’s of terrorism. It the the sons of the wealthy who recruit the throw-aways and converts to go blow themselves up.
The real root cause of terrorism is islam
Dear Secretary of State,
You are a tw.a.tt.
Signed.

The man is a dangerous idiot. When the suicide bombs go off the terrorists don’t shout: “Money is Great!”
Osama Bin Laden was worth 500 million when he started out as a terrorist. If that’s what John Kerry calls poverty, I guess I’m way below poverty. Besides, the #1 common denominator with terrorism is Islam. Could it be something in the teachings? The Quran? The Hadiths? I’ve heard some democrats (Muslim Apologists) say it’s only 10% of Muslims who are terrorists. Well, that 130 million. Hardly a small group. John started out strong as SoS, now he is becoming an idiot just like Hillary

Dunce indeed! Also poltroon, idiot, gazoonie, naïf, pawn, cretin, jejune, Nd thoroughgoing clown
how f’ing stupid is this man?
The root of all terrorism is Islam. The root of all poverty is democrats.
he can start by giving them all his money..
Bingo. You are correct sir. It is deliberate deceit. They are a bunch of evil bastards aren't they?
Like Osama, right?? STRAIGHT FROM POVERY (Sarcasm) And the 9-11 hijackers, right? Straight from poverty.
Kerry is as much of a national embarrassment as the NAZI Dictator he gets his marching orders from.
(Anyone ever notice the IRONY of somebody named Usama, Osama, attacking us, and the American Public being DUMB enough to elect a jerk named Obama ten years later as President??????)
They are poor because they learn nothing but hate and anger for Jews and Christians, and are too stupid to learn anything.
The idiot needs a fresh round of swift boating.
Where are these savage terrorists when you need them?/s
Kerry must be right. He was in Viet Nam ya know.
Introducing Obama’s income inequality meme on a global stage.
Most terrorists - like most liberal radicals - come from the upper classes.
Sons of successful men who can’t ‘find their place’ because they’re ‘no where near’ as capable as ‘daddy’ - but they have ‘daddy’s’ money...
John Kerry is a perfect example of this type.
As were the killers on 9/11.
For those poor unfortunate folks that didn’t get the pleasure of living through the Peanuts Carter presidency, you summed it up perfectly and we are living through it again.
Didn’t work the first time, not going to work the second.
This is a demonstrable LIE. ISLAM is the root cause of most terrorism.
And I suppose Kerry can point to all the terrorists living in poverty in the United States. The stats should be huge according to dem politicians who scream about our high poverty rates.
Who are these people - Kerry etal? Are they even members of the human race?
