Kerry at Davos: Don’t Blame Muslims for Crimes Not Committed by Muslims Alone
American Spectator ^ | 1/24/2015 | Aaron Goldstein

Posted on 01/24/2015 5:19:09 AM PST by HomerBohn

Here is an excerpt from John Kerry's speech to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland:

Against this enemy, we are increasingly organizing and fighting back, but in doing so we have to also keep our heads. Obviously, the biggest error that we could make would be to blame Muslims collectively for crimes not committed by Muslims alone – crimes that the overwhelming majority of Muslims oppose, crimes that their faith utterly rejects, and that Muslim leaders themselves have the greatest ability to address.

Religions don’t require adherence to raze villages and blow up people. It’s individuals with a distorted and an even ignorant interpretation of religion who do that, abetted by networks of individuals who have a different agenda and who incite and finance those actions. And we will certainly not defeat our foes by vilifying potential partners or by suppressing the very freedoms that terrorists try to destroy. Unless we direct our energies in the right direction, we may very well fuel the very fires that we want to put out.

Blaming Muslims collectively for crimes not committed by Muslims alone?

What the hell is Kerry talking about?

“Do liberals really know so little about islam or is it just another dreary liberal lie? “

Islam is the military wing of the Communist party. When you look at it from that perspective, everything starts to make sense.

Actually, between Biden, Obama is winning. Neither of the former have spoken of visiting 57 states. Neither has claimed Hawaii is in Asia. Neither tried to name their birthdate and were off by nearly two weeks. Neither claim Afghanis speak Arabic or that Austrians speak Austrian.

I daresay both Biden and Kerry can pronounce corpsmen, and even OB-GYN. Has either of them said we can’t drill our way to lower oil prices? I bet they can both spell ‘respect.’ Have either of them spoken of the US-built “intercontinental railroad”?

And my favorite Obama dumbism:

“The Middle East is obviously an issue that has plagued the region for centuries.” —Tampa, Fla., Jan. 28, 2010

Kerry’s got three valid points there.

1. White cops also kill with impunity. They’re not Muslim.

2. Theoretically, Muslim leaders COULD loudly protest terrorism.

3. If we don’t do what the Islamists want, we might lose our heads. We’d better be careful.

I think he soundly realizes beheading hurts even more than a grain of rice in the butt. And that bravery is too hard.

If the terrorists are NOT Muslim, why do we permit them to receive “proper” Muslim burials?

Shouldn’t we feed their fragmentary “remains” to large, hungry pigs, instead?

How could the silent hordes of violence-hating Muslims object to THAT?

Those Islamics seem to have no trouble applying
collective guilt to western civilization, why
should we be any different, if it means our
survival.

Islam is hegemonic ideology from beginning to end
and I hope it’s soon.

We cannot hope to extinguish a billion and a half
people, but we CAN extinguish the pillars of their
belief.

Destroy Mecca, Medina, Qom NOW.

Tie goes to Kerry as Biden laughs off his gaffes, while Kerry doubles down on sanctimoniousness. He takes himself too d*mn seriously.

I get the same feeling watching Kerry as I do watching Obama. I want to throw something at my TV.

Sounds like Hanoi John’s speech to Congress when he accused us of acting like Ghenhis Khan.

It's his base speech. All his others derive from it or some variation thereof.

GREAT point! The U.S. government treats these terrorists like Muslims in death.

Looky here at this CNN headline from 2012:

Military e-mails: Burial at sea of bin Laden followed Islamic procedures

Talk about cognitive dissonance. Talk about logical fallacies, Talk about hypocrisy. Obama/Kerry/Clinton and the Left have set a world record.

Someone needs to ask Obama/Kerry/Clinton if bin Laden was considered a Muslim. If not, why was he given a respectful Islamic burial-at-sea by the U.S. government?

In Kerry’s world a chair is not a chair if nobody is not sitting there. IS is not ISLAMIC, even when the yell God id Great in Arabic while beheading people.

Lurch doesn’t agree with Gen. Al Sisi the President of Egypt that there needs to be an Islamic reformation, because the world hates Islam. But then again Al Sisi is a brave a very brave man who speaks the truth.

Really, you don’t hear the Imams talking about
how there are good, moderate Americans so don’t
jump to conclusions...

Obama and Biden, Kerry have set a bad example that
is going to cost American lives.

If anybody is keeping score for the most dimwit comments between Kerry and Biden, could you please posts the results. It has got to be a pretty tight race.

Good one ImNotLying...

During World War ii the majority of Americans weren’t killing Germans or Japanese. I wonder if Kerry knows that...

Islamic terrorists mass murder people in the name of Islam.

How does dodging it make Kerry’s argument stronger?

It doesn’t.

I think it is so condescending when people don’t take what other people say and do seriously, i.e., “he can’t really mean that”.

Now, it’s like Kerry is saying don’t blame bad guys who had help. They are obviously retarded and can’t be held accountable for their actions.

It is ironically less patronizing to take these calculated killers at their word. They are acting out their faith. It’s not ours to say whether they got the doctrine right. Just believe it when they say they want others to convert or die.

Fight back and stop apologizing for it.

He’s referring to the person in this country that has been collaborating with the muslim terrorist as a path to power.

The muslims help them get into power, they use that power to help the muslims reestablish the caliphate.

It’s the same person Obama referred to as a dictator in his comments to the news media right before Christmas about the Sony hack.

Obama let the news media know if they exposed the dictator the same thing that happened to Sony would happen to them.

The person both are referring to is Hillary Clinton.
