[Tariqas] NYTimes.com: For Muslim Who Says Violence Destroys Islam, Violent Threats

[Frank Gorin]

Wafa Sultan apparently finds it easier to demonize Islam than 
to look into centuries of Mideast political corruption and 
failure of leadership.  To some extent this includes a failure 
of religious leadership.  But does it reflect on Islam per se?  
One might as well say that the Crusades were a reflection of 
the Gospel of Jesus.
