>>I appreciate the honesty — so rare among Muslims — but this hatred is exactly in accord with the teachings of the Koran. <<
But it ISN’T honesty. As you point out, this cleric is attempting to lull us into a false sense of security by knowingly lying about islam. It is called “Taqiyya” and is not only allowed but demanded by the gutter ideology.
His initial statement embodied in "Muslim scholar stated publicly last month that his community is rife with “horrific” antisemitism and racism against non-Muslims" is certainly true.
I agree with you that his motivation for this admission is nefarious. He lies in the next breath, telling us that this hatred is not the "real" Islam. You are correct about the pervasive taqiya(however one spells it).
