Kerry working to get state, religious and broadcast powers in the Middle east to condemn ISIS

[Dems to Win]

3. Your OP quotes Kerry: “to start drying up this pool of jihadis.”

That's why I used the word 'starting.'

If there were such a thing as responsible Muslim leaders, they would have been trying to dry up the pool of jihadis for over a decade now. No one would have to beg them to do so.

If there were any Muslim leaders with critical thinking skills, they would have long-ago realized that 'kill the infidel' talk is a threat to world peace and would eventually be a threat to them. No one would have to point out the threat.

There have been some mild statements made by Muslims that al-qeada is not the real Islam. But I've not seen large protest by Muslims at Saudi embassies, demanding they stop funding the worldwide madrassas that teach young boys to kill for Allah. Certainly no protests that compare to the protests against Danish cartoons, for example.

I agree with you that there is no harm in Kerry's speech. He can make a speech, I can write critical commentary. That's how it works.

My criticism is directed more at Muslim leaders and the total farce that requires Kerry to make such a speech.
