Against this simplicity of universal unification, Kerry the sophomore whisked back to reality and pronounced, “It’s a very complex time… The extremism that we see, the radical exploitation of religion which is translated into violence, has no basis in any of the real religions. There’s nothing Islamic about what ISIL/Daesh stands for or is doing to people.”
Having ripped out half of the Koran that preaches the murder of Jews, Kerry’s next thread in his maze was demographics.
“When you have 65 percent of a country, as you do in many countries in the Middle East or South Central Asia or elsewhere, in north Horn of Africa, that are under the age of 35… and 50 percent under the age of 25, you are going to have a governance problem unless your governance is really addressing the demands and needs of that part of the population.”
This is the reason for the chaos in Syria, according to Kerry.
And how does he propose to stop the killing? It’s simple. Get Israel on the same track as the Palestinian Authority, of course.
“As I went around and met with people in the course of our discussions about the ISIL coalition, the truth is we – there wasn’t a leader I met with in the region who didn’t raise with me spontaneously the need to try to get peace between Israel and the Palestinians, because it was a cause of recruitment and of street anger and agitation that they felt – and I see a lot of heads nodding – they had to respond to. And people need to understand the connection of that. And it has something to do with humiliation and denial and absence of dignity, and Eid celebrates the opposite of all of that….
“What’s happening in Iraq is an interesting beginning of that, where Daesh has kind of drawn a line and made people stop and think, and Sunni and Shia are beginning to realize there’s a common problem out there and there is a way to try to work together.”
Kerry now can God, or perhaps Allah, for the Islamic State.
The ISIS, or ISIL as the Obama administration insist on calling it, gives Kerry another tiger’s tail to grab and continue to turn the other cheek to the incredibly complex thought that the radical Islamic theology is the root of radical Islamic violence.
