State Department: ‘This Isn’t About a Religion’

(CNSNews.com) – Tuesday’s terrorist attack in Brussels was not about religion but a “depraved ideology,” State Department spokesman John Kirby told reporters.

“This isn’t about a religion,” he said. “This is about a warped and brutal, depraved ideology that continues to be attractive to a small number of people in the Muslim faith – radicals and extremists.”

“And we don’t believe that it is indicative in any way of the Muslim faith or the people who practice Islam as a religion,” Kirby continued. “But it is a group that remains deadly, remains lethal. And we are going to remain focused on defeating them.”

I hope that President Trump gives Admiral John Kirby a Captain’s Mast. This slimey bastard sullies the uniform he wore. Take away his retirement.

Only 2 kinds of people could make this statement:

1. Muslims and Muslim-lovers engaging in a cover-up.
2. People who don’t have the slightest idea what Islam is all about.

Yeah, the outrage from the worldwide “Muslim communities” is deafening, isn’t it?

Well, Mr. Kirby.... what you think the Moose-limb faith is, and what you would like it be and what it actually is are really three different things. It’s not that hard... but in the meantime, let’s not spout off something as fact that you really know nothing about, ok?

These obamanoid b*stards are aiding and abetting the Muslim killers who are slaughtering innocent men, women, and children around the world.

Obama is a Muslim, born and bred. What’s this guy’s excuse?

This is a major issue, in that, liberals won’t allow us to say where this ideology originates. We are told that Islam is a religion of peace and that the terrorists do not reflect true Islam. As if Islam has nothing to do with it.

I look forward to presidential debates dealing with this issue. The GOP candidate will not mince words about who the enemy is, while Hillary will spout the nonsense that Islam is a religion of peace. Should be an interesting discussion.

Aside from the fact that they are all muslims...???

The PC perfumed prince Kirby is perfect at State.

“And we don’t believe that it is indicative in any way of the Muslim faith or the people who practice Islam as a religion,” Kirby continued.

The last 1400 years of history tells a far different story.

Support for Islamic terrorism is far broader within Muslim populations than Kirby suggests. Polls suggest that up to one forth of Muslims in Britain were sympathetic to the London Jihad bombings. And even among those Muslims who don’t support the tactic of mass murder, the broader goal of Islamic supremacy is still shared. Some forty percent of Muslims in Britain want Sharia law there.

He got that part right. Islam is not a religion. It is a political ideology and death cult all wrapped in one.

Fair enough.
Islam is not a Religion. Shout it loud and wide.
It is an offensive roadmap to destroy civilization - clothed with some mumbo-jumbo promises of eternal life for its jihadists, and admonishments to 'be excellent to one another' (as long as the 'one another' is a muslim. If not - kill 'em)...
