Religions don’t require adherence to raze villages and blow up people.
What an idiot. That is the stupidest comment I have heard from a politician since I last heard Pelosi speak. The guy is either utterly ignorant of 'religion', or he is living living some la-la land in outer space. He may as well have been trying to convince us that the moon is really pink, and the sky really green. It is the most complete statement of denial, and rejection of actual fact I have ever heard cross his withered lips.
Well, after all, he is just following the 'Obama model of reality'. Obama and his crew, including Kerry, come up with something they 'want' to be true', or that they 'wish' to be true, so, they simply declare that it is 'true', reality and facts be damned. Listening to the SOTU speech from Obama, was a real window into the fantasy bubble in which he lives. And Kerry is same way.
But, let not your heart be troubled, the World at large is not buying their bullshit at all. In fact, many countries have openly said that they consider Kerry to be a fool, and do not want to deal with him at all. Partially because of statements like this. He is not grounded in reality. He floats around in his own little delusional world which he makes up. And that is fine. It is just that the rest of the world does not have time to deal with a guy who is obviously not serious, and not really 'all there'.
BTW, in closing, you can take heart that many Muslims have expressed outrage at both Obama and Kerry. The last thing a Muslim wants to hear is Kerry explaining and lecturing to them what their religion is really all about, and the same with Obama.
Muslims are insulted by these two attempting to redefine their religion to be what they want it to be. Both Obama and Kerry want to define Islam in politically correct terms which do not actually exist in the dogma and practice of Islam. And I agree with the Muslims on this. I wouldn't want a Christian lecturing me about what so called 'real' Judaism actually is. I would be insulted too.
Can you imagine Kerry and the American atheist Left lecturing the Pope on what 'real' and 'true' Catholicism is? Oh, wait a minute, they did do that.
Looks like the Left has all religions figured out and defined. Now, if they could just convince the people and leaders of all religions to ignore their traditions, dogma, and practice, and just do as they are told to do by their intellectual superiors on the Left.
