[DAILYCALLER] At a conference of coalition members tasked with fighting ISIS in Rome yesterday, 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... said members of the terrorist organization are not Muslims but apostates of Islam.
"Daesh [Islamic State] [ISIS] is in fact nothing more than a mixture of killers, of kidnappers, of criminals, of thugs, of adventurers, of smugglers and thieves," Kerry said.
Oh Jahwn, if only you had stopped there...
"And they are also above all apostates, people who have hijacked a great religion and lie about its real meaning and lie about its purpose and deceive people in order to fight for their purposes." He didn't stop there.
Apostate, according to The Washington Post, has traditionally been used to describe an individual or, in the plural, a group who abandoned or renounced their religion. Kerry's application of the term to ISIS is somewhat ironic considering the terrorist organization has justified its attacks on other Muslims by claiming the victims were apostates themselves, which suggests ISIS faceless myrmidons are active participants in the Muslim faith.
This is not the first time Kerry has referred to ISIS as apostate. At the Saban Forum in December, Kerry said the terrorist organization is "a mixture of killers and kidnappers, smugglers, thieves, and apostates who have hijacked a religion and combined a medieval thinking with modern weapons to wage an especially savage brand of war."
Cairo's Al-Azhar, the world's preeminent authority on the Sunni branch of Islam, has refused to call ISIS an apostate group, since ISIS fighters do believe and practice Islam, even though their understanding of the religion is flawed in his opining, CNS News reports.
Social media users have attacked Kerry's usage of the term as untrue and Kerry lacks any authority on Islam.
To be fair, Jahwn lacks authority on pretty much everything, except perhaps sailing and spousal finance...

Someone should post a parody based on New Edirion's "You're not my kind of girl".

What is an appropriate punishment for infidel who takes upon himself to pronounce who is and who isn't a Muslim?

"Daesh is nothing more than a mixture of killers, of kidnappers, of criminals, of thugs, of adventurers, of smugglers and thieves."
Right. In other words, muslims. If Islam serves some purpose other than dignifying and justifying the worst of human nature under the guise of religious authority, I have yet to see evidence of it.

He is an idiot, ISIS is Ahl al Sunah in its most complete form. But, then again I think Kerry has abandoned all of our principles...an American Apostate.

The unmitigated arrogance of these jackasses that they feel fit to tell Muslims what is and isn't Islam is just breathtaking, next they'll be telling the Pope what's Catholic. or the Rabbi what's Jewish.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
