Kerry tells Western leaders it would be an 'error' to refer to violent extremists as Islamists
2015-01-25
[DAILYMAIL.CO.UK] Violent bandidos turbans killing children and others in Iraq, Syria, Nigeria and other parts of the world may cite Islam as a justification, but the West should be careful about calling them Islamic radicals, Secretary of State John F. I was in Vietnam, you know Kerry
Former Senator-for-Life from Massachussetts, self-defined war hero, speaker of French, owner of a lucky hat, conqueror of Cambodia, and current Secretary of State...
 told an audience of opinion leaders Friday at the World Economic Forum.

In a speech calling for a global effort against violent extremism, Kerry said it would be a mistake to link Islam to criminal conduct rooted in alienation, poverty, thrill-seeking and other factors.

'We have to keep our heads,' Kerry said, according to the Associate Press.

'The biggest error we could make would be to blame Moslems for crimes...that their faith utterly rejects,' he added.

#12  The only 'error' the west has is not calling it what it is and rooting it out at home and abroad.

Instead the western leaders double down on stupid and import more of the same and wonder why they have problems with Islam in their countries.

#11  'We have to keep our heads,' Kerry said, according to the Associate Press.

Translation: If we call them Islamists, they'll cut off our heads.

#4  By the way, the guy who wrote that article used to be a Boston Globe ass-kisser political writer, so it's not much of a surprise to guess who he's working for now.

#2  Because they have centrists beliefs for the Muslim faith?

#1  As for the Paris death squad:

The OIC has for years openly demanded that non-Muslims in the West be subjected to Sharia law.

The death squad meted out Sharia punishment and neutralized those who would interfere with its (Sharia-)lawful execution of a punitive measure.

IOW the OIC i.e. mainstream Islam got exactly what it wanted.

But there's no connection to Islam.
