| Men praying at Badhriyya Jumah Mosque, Kattankudy, Sri Lanka |
The subject headline is that in the print edition of the New York Times of April 27-28.
Note the word "rogue". So the Islamic cleric is not kosher, as it were.
But let's see how often various words were used, by my own personal manual check of the print edition:
"Radical" 2
"Crazy" 1
"Failing true Islam" 1
"Extremist" 3
So the picture being painted by the New York Times is that this is out of the norm, that the cleric is "rogue", "crazy", "extremist". But check the Koran, the inerrant word of God:
"Kill them wherever you find them" (Qur'an 2:191, 4:89);
"Kill the idolaters wherever you find them" (Qur'an 9:5).No one can say anything that contradicts the Koran.
So this cleric is "extreme"? Only if Islam itself is extreme.
