New York Times: How Trump Took Up the ‘Christian Genocide’ Cause in Nigeria

Sitting at the grand wooden table, they outlined their concerns to Sebastian Gorka, the National Security Council’s senior director for counterterrorism, who has falsely argued that violence is a fundamental part of Islam.

I thought the MSM was going to clean up their act. This is editorializing if ever there was one. An omniscient voice denouncing someone as making a false argument without any counterargument whatsoever (it links to an 'expert says' article that names no one).

Mr. Gorka, a vocal defender of the administration’s efforts to temporarily ban travel from some predominantly Muslim countries, has said violence is a fundamental part of Islam and emanates from the language of the Quran. He rejects scholars’ assessment that Islamic militancy is an outgrowth of poverty, poor governance and war.

So the Islamic world has been poorly governed since its beginning? Including by the PDF-file? I assume Islamic militants would not like to hear that from these 'scholars'.
