There have been a number of attacks on journalists in Kosovo in recent years. Now, conservative Muslims in the southern Kosovar city of Prizren are agitating against a news portal and a journalist.

There are conservative and liberal versions of any religion. Christianity has evangelicals but also Quakers. Judaism has Reform and ultraorthodox. But we only hear about the extreme radicals and conservatives in Islam.

Christianity has evangelicals but also Quakers

Which one is supposed to be liberal?

I supposed “unitarians” would have been a better choice. There are also nondenominational branches that believe in actually helping the poor and opening their doors to all.

And for the record, I’m not Christian, so I don’t have a dog in this race.

I think "liberal" here is just in comparison to the extreme conservative side of the religion
