Here is yet another example of why we do not see more genuine Islamic reform.
“Prominent cleric shot dead while praying in Yemen’s Hadhramaut,” Al Arabiya, March 2, 2018 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Unknown gunmen assassinated cleric Al Habib Aidroos Ben Abdullah bin Sumait, a prominent scholar and imam of Al-Mehdhar Mosque in his home in the city of Tarim in Hadhramaut, southern Yemen.
The gunmen pretended to be joining the cleric to read Quran…
Yemeni Prime Minister Ahmed Obeid bin Daghr condemned the assassination, which he described as an attack on moderate thinking…
He added that Bin Sumait was one of the moderate voices…
The attack is the first of its kind in the city of Trim, which is renowned for its role in advocating tolerance, rejecting violence and advocacy for moderation.
