The Islamic State that is. According to our misesteemed Secretary of State, John fn Kerry. The Voice of America (which America?) has it.
Kerry said Islamic State jihadists claim to be fighting on behalf of Islam, but said the group’s activities have nothing to do with Islam. He said, “Its message of hate is rejected” by the majority of Muslims around the world.
Shouldn’t some one inform Mr. Kerry that Hamas hasn’t gotten the message?
Hamas published a “Covenant” of 36 articles on August 18, 1988, that details its aims and ideology precisely. Its philosophy is rooted in the totalitarianism and radical anti-Semitism that has undergirded Islamism since its rise in the 1930s and 1940s. Far from moderating its core ideology, Hamas’ seizure of power in 2007 gave it the opportunity to make policy based on its guiding goal—namely, the destruction the state of Israel.1 But even though the Covenant is the declaration of intent of a group now governing millions of people, it goes unnoticed by reporters, editors, and pundits who race to comment on Hamas’ war with Israel.
And how about the Wahhabis (rulers of Saudi Arabia) vs the Salafists (the Islamic State people). According to the wiki they are the same people.
For more discussion head over to Samizdata which got me started on the topic of our idiot leaders. The title of the discussion? Are these people stupid or do they think other people are?

Excess paucity of reason.

From Jack Wheeler’s To The Point News:
Amidst a lot of dumb stuff, Zero’s dumbest claim of all was: “ISIL is not ‘Islamic.’ No religion condones the killing of innocents.”
The Koran does just this and repeatedly. A quartet of samples from a myriad:
Sura 9:5. When the sacred months are over, slay the idolaters wherever you find them. Arrest them, besiege them, and lie in ambush everywhere for them.
Sura 8:12. I [Allah] will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them.
Sura 48:29. Mohammed is Allah’s apostle. Those who follow him are ruthless to the unbelievers but merciful to one another.
Sura 66:9. Prophet! [meaning Mohammed] Make war on the unbelievers and the hypocrites and deal harshly with them. Hell shall be their home. Evil their fate.
There’s lots more, all with the same message. Islam is a religion of war, not peace. There cannot be peace with a religion that declares war on “unbelievers” – those who do not ascribe to it – as a mandate from its god. It is a religion of Intolerance and Violence.
There are about 7.1 billion people in the world today, 1.6 billion of whom are Moslem. On the Koran’s own terms, for the world’s 5.5 billion Non-Moslems, it is the Moslems who are the infidel unbelievers, and those 5.5 billion are morally justified in making war upon them, slaying them wherever they can be found.
What’s good for the Non-Moslem goose is good for the Moslem gander.
Thanks heavens, the vast majority of humanity is vastly more tolerant and humane than the Koran (which thankfully includes many Moslems — see the Islamic Flag Challenge below). And for those who practice what the Koran teaches, such as those flocking to the banner of ISIS, there is only one solution: Hunt them down and kill them. It’s very Koranic.
