John Kerry: Jihadists Need “More Economic Opportunities”…

Weaponized cluelessness.

Via CNS News:

    Launching a new global counter-terror fund, Secretary of State John Kerry spoke of the importance of “providing more economic opportunities for marginalized youth at risk of recruitment” – although much research has debunked the notion of a link between poverty and Islamist terrorism.

    At a meeting in New York Friday of the Global Counterterrorism Forum (GCTF), Kerry and his Turkish counterpart Ahmet Davutoglu unveiled a $200 million initiative designed to leverage public and private funding in support of what the GCTF calls “countering violent extremism” (CVE) efforts.

    The aim of the first-of-its-kind fund, known formally as the “Global Fund for Community Engagement and Resilience,” is to support local communities and organizations to counter extremist ideology and promote tolerance.

Perhaps Kerry would consider establishing a fund to assist the unfortunate jihadis in learning how to seduce and marry wealthy heiresses.
"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

It's not "I wish I was Rich” the jihadist yell as they blow themselves up. Economics has zilch, zero, nada influence on jihadist recruits.
A nation that turns away from prayer will ultimately find itself in desperate need of it. :Jonathan Cahn

Liberals never want to help others with their own money, they always want to do it with your money and my money.  Remember, Lurch licensed his sailboat in Connecticut so he wouldn't have to pay Massachusetts taxes? :bolt:

Of course. But it is now considered politically incorrect or déclassé for public figures to attribute their motivation to radical Islam.

Actually, it was Rhode Island, but point taken.

...and we need an SOS that isn't delusional.

We all have needs.
