John Kerry a Muslim?—says "Inshallah" when asked if Iran nuke deal was close to being done

‘Inshallah,’ Kerry says on possible nuclear deal with Iran

March 31, 2015
A nuclear deal with Iran is possible “if Allah wills,” U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry has reportedly said.

The chief U.S. negotiator at the Iran nuclear talks used the term “Inshallah,” an Arabic term which translates as “If Allah wills,” when asked by an Iranian student about the future of the talks when he was shopping for chocolates, IRN news agency reported on March 31, citing Al-Monitor reporter Laura Rozen.

With a deadline hours away, Iran and six world powers ramped up the pace on March 31 in negotiations over a preliminary deal on Tehran’s nuclear program, while officials cautioned that any agreement would likely be fragile and incomplete, Reuters reported.

For nearly a week, the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Russia and China have been trying to break an impasse in the talks, which are aimed at stopping Iran from gaining the capacity to develop a nuclear bomb in exchange for easing international sanctions that are crippling its economy.

But disagreements on enrichment research and the pace of lifting sanctions threatened to scupper a deal that could end a 12-year standoff between Iran and the West over Tehran’s nuclear ambitions and reduce the risk of another Middle East war.

“The two sticking points are the duration and the lifting of sanctions,” an Iranian official said. “The two sides are arguing about the content of the text. Generally, progress has been made.”

Negotiations among the parties on sticking points went into the night and continued on March 31. They were expected to run late and possibly into April 1.

Officials said they were hoping to agree on some kind of declaration, while any actual preliminary understanding that is agreed might remain confidential.

It was also possible they would not agree to anything. “We are preparing for both scenarios,” another Western diplomat said.

Officials said talks on a framework accord, intended as a prelude to a comprehensive agreement by the end of June, could yet fall apart.

“There still remain some difficult issues,” Kerry told CNN. “We are working very hard to work those through. We are working into the night.”

Kerry and his ilk are too clever for their own good. They think they are so clever in using a term like that to kiss up to the "other side." Then they turn to the English speaking side and say: "Well, it only means 'God Willing."

As to that, where are the offended atheists?

It's called "diplomacy". It's what you need to do in that role.

But isn't Inshallah Arabic rather than Persian? :)

Hi, ChiMM! :)

Actually it's the same in both Arabic and Farsi so it's good either way.

"Well, it only means 'God Willing."

Won't work on those that don't regard Allah as the same being as Elohim.

You're ignorant.

A Christian Arab wanting to say "God willing" in his/her own language says "Inshallah".

That doesn't make Kerry look less like a Muslim. More so, rather.

Was Bowe Bergdahl's father also "sucking up"?

Dhimmitude gets nobody anywhere with Iranian fanatics (or othewise).

Not a Muslim - just a vapid moron, the same guy who couldn't beat a wildly unpopular George W. Bush in 2004.

When one violates International Law, and can't give away the store fast enough with nothing to gain to strike a deal with the more superior religion, one has to use such terms in front of mixed company.

In'shallah, they'll call this thing the muslim bomb soon. I like the provisions that Iran doesn't really have to stop, give up, or allow inspections.
