Incredible statements made in speech by Bilal Hafeez, Deutsche Bank's global head of FX strategy, says Jesus is perfect role model because of His holiness and unquestionable respect by Europeans.

The excerpt from the speech, as reported in the publication Business Insider, reads:

"Who else has entered the terrible teens? The Euro-Area! It was born in 1999 and so is currently fourteen years old. It has all the hallmarks of teenage angst. It is ridden with internal conflicts, it is groping around for structure, and it is suspicious of authority."

"So who can be a positive role model for the Euro-Area?" he asks. "Well, it cannot be the 'fathers '—Germany or France. It has to be an external figure that all Europeans respect and whose motives and character are beyond dispute. That rules out anyone living, as even the most competent person will make missteps or have something from their past dredged up to undermine them. That leaves us with historical figures whose lives have been laid bare by history." (Photo: Getty Images)

"I can only think of one figure that is respected by most Europeans and has never sinned," he concludes. "Jesus!"

Incredibly, Hafeez goes onto suggest that if everyone lived by the injunction to not be the "first to cast stones unless they were without sin" then the "constant accusations would stop."
