Poop, it's a bit of a stretch to call Hasan intelligent, but it can be forgiven since a lopsided pile of bricks looks intelligent when sat next to this Jesse Lee Peterson guy.

Jack, don't be absurd. JLP's views are horrible on this and many other things, but he's saying they should be left to (in his view) suffer, and then die (without salvation.) There are all sorts of implicit problems with believing that people that don't share your faith are going to die and suffer for eternity, but it's not the same as violently enforcing religious norms.
