Kerry: It would be an 'error' to refer to extremists as Islamists

Violent extremists killing children and others in Iraq, Syria, Nigeria and other parts of the world may cite Islam as a justification, but the West should be careful about calling them Islamic radicals, Secretary of State John Kerry told an audience of opinion leaders Friday at the World Economic Forum.

In a speech calling for a global effort against violent extremism, Kerry said it would be a mistake to link Islam to criminal conduct rooted in alienation, poverty, thrill-seeking and other factors.

'We have to keep our heads,' Kerry said, according to the Associate Press.

'The biggest error we could make would be to blame Muslims for crimes...that their faith utterly rejects,' he added.

"We have to keep our heads..."

Ironic choice of words considering how the fanatics do business with men, women and children who disagree with them.

Kerry would be the first to label a WHITE BALD headed man a WHITE RACIST. But not call a Muslim / Islamic Terrorist a Muslim or Islamic person a terrorist when they proclaim they are.
Another two faced liberal.
