Can you give any actual examples of a prominent Muslim denying some
brutal aspect of his religion for propaganda purposes, when he
actually believes in the thing he is denying? Unfortunately, religious
fanatics differ from self-seeking politicians in that they believe not
only that what they are doing is right, but that it ought to be
obvious to the whole world that it is right.
