LTE - Angry protestors

Regarding "Angry worshippers lash out against Trump" (Saturday Pg A15), "worshippers" is a curious word to use to describe the people protesting President Trump's decision to acknowledge Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. There's nothing inherently worshipful about throwing rocks, destroying property or setting flags on fire, unless the author's intent was to besmirch the faith of the protesters, who were overwhelmingly Muslim.

It's fair to debate whether their behavior was justified, but no devout Muslim would ever confuse those actions with worship.
