Armstrong's Stretch

Well-known apologist for Islam Karen Armstrong invites MuBros offshoot ISNA to represent their co-religionists in her cockamamie interfaithy scheme:

The Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), one of the largest Muslim organizations in North America, has been chosen to implement the Charter for Compassion.

“ISNA is leading the way in bringing compassion back to the center of the religious life and is a wonderful example to other religious traditions and institutions,” prominent scholar Karen Armstrong told OnIslam.net in exclusive statements.

The Charter for Compassion is a worldwide cooperative effort to restore not only compassionate thinking but also compassionate action to the center of religious, moral and political life.

“The Charter’s vision for a just and compassionate world deeply resonates with the message of the Qur’an and it is wonderful that Muslims are taking such a committed lead,” Armstrong said.

“If nothing else, this runs dramatically counter to the widespread, stereotypical view of Islam as a violent and intolerant faith.”...

You sure got that right, sister. Meanwhile, Salim Mansur puts a different--a truthful--spin on the violence, intolerance and, um, stereotyping.
