All news outlets issue a correction
All news outlets today in the US issued an apology for calling Muqtada as-Sadr a cleric. The lack of clerics in the Islamic tradition clearly makes such a title incorrect.

If only the press would bother learning to read. Rhetorical question: Can one write without knowing how to read?
IIA – Teaching Islam
