As usual, the NY Times is wrong. Apparently, they have never read the entire Quran nor the Hadiths.

Beat me to the punch.
While I cannot state that the NYT hacks are always wrong, I fully believe the probability of being correct by assuming they are wrong is a number considerably above 50%.
They certainly haven't read the Hadiths.
This disingenuous author would have you believe the Hadiths are not a major part of Islam.
We might even have a little Taqiyya going on here.

All of the middle east has descended into an “honor culture”...they must not be dishonored; it is the only thing they have.
Their culture is stuck in the stone age...what has islamic culture contributed to science, literature, art, music, medicine in the past several centuries?? Nothing! They continue to be shackled to a cult that insures they will never escape into the modern world.
Their culture continues to shrink in the rear-view mirror of the west and they cling to their view of honor as who they are.
