Clickbait?

When a blog cites a blog that cites a tweet, why not just post the tweet?

When a blog cites a blog that cites a tweet, why not just post the tweet?

To get the tweet, you have to go to the Western Journalism article:

Hey @realDonaldTrump, many *progressive Muslims* — the ones we should support in ideological fight against extremism — believe in Sharia!!

— Sally Kohn (@sallykohn) August 16, 2016

She completely misses the point that "belief in Sharia", as in the belief that Sharia should be followed and should be supreme over secular law, is the DEFINITION of "Muslim extremist".

And, yes, we have too many people facilitating clickbait.

If you MUST excerpt, have the excerpt be the MEAT of the article, NOT the click tease.
