At first, I thought this had to be a joke in the style of “The Onion”. Sadly, no. I have video of this dolt saying this on C-Span. I don’t know who’s more dangerous to humanity, Kerry or ISIS.
The video:
Here is some history leading up to this epic inanity. In February, Kerry said climate change is as ‘big a threat to the world as terrorism, poverty, and weapons of mass destruction’. Last month Kerry said climate change is the “biggest challenge of all we face right now.” And on Tuesday September 3rd, at a ceremony to appoint Texas lawyer Shaarik Zafar as special representative to Muslim communities, Kerry told the crowd that it is America’s Biblical “responsibility” to “confront climate change.”
“Our faiths are inextricably linked on any number of things that we must confront and deal with in policy concepts today. Our faiths are inextricably linked on the environment. For many of us, respect for God’s creation also translates into a duty to protect and sustain his first creation, Earth, the planet,”
“Confronting climate change is, in the long run, one of the greatest challenges that we face, and you can see this duty or responsibility laid out in Scriptures clearly, beginning in Genesis. And Muslim-majority countries are among the most vulnerable. Our response to this challenge ought to be rooted in a sense of stewardship of Earth, and for me and for many of us here today, that responsibility comes from God.”
I do hope Mr. Kerry travels to the heart of an ISIS stronghold to deliver this message personally. Maybe then he’ll gain a sense of priority and perhaps, some sanity when he realizes his epic mistake.
Isis are no more Moslem than the Westbro church is Christian. They are just using a convenient label for their Satanic intent. Many Islamic countries are in poorer equatorial regions. They are not always oil rich nations. To me as a European Kerry sounds as if he is making some reasonable points.

Michael Crichton, as usual, was ahead of the curve:
I think Kerry is confusing the Hebrew term Tikkun olam in an attempt to bring us all together in some moral imperative. The problem is the reform definition of “repairing the World” has been perverted to mean we should all be environmentalist. The real intent of its use in prayer (it’s Rabbinical, not biblical) was that the we should strive to make the World more harmonious by bringing honor to G-d’s sovereignty. The term actually means “to establish” or “to perfect”, not “to fix” or “to repair” and you can do that by abandoning idolatry and fulfilling the mitzvot (613 Mosaic/biblical commandments). Obviously, those devoted to Gaia or other false messiahs (Obama, Muhammad, etc.) actually have no hope.
So Kerry is going to tell ISIS to reduce their carbon footprint when they blow up cities and behead people? To help them, I suppose Kerry already has a business model for greener beheadings. Or maybe the EPA is working on that one.
You only have to look at John Kerry to know that he is mentally unstabe. When you hear him talk, you really know that he is seriously mentally ill. Unfortunately, in politics, being insane is not a great handicap.

And with that, I’m closing this thread as it has gotten a bit out of hand with a number of off-topic comments (some of which were removed) and other detritus that didn’t contribute to the discussion.
