Man, that is weird. I hate hearing about stuff like this, especially the homogenizing of the diverse cultures and religious traditions within Islam, as you mention, and the division into "good" and "bad" Muslims.
Whenever I hear about stuff like this, I automatically think not only of my own friends and colleagues who are Muslim, but as a Jewish person, I also knee-jerk think, "What would this sound like if someone said X about Jews [Catholics, Jehovah's Witnesses, other religious minorities]"
I would say that someone like the owner was kooky enough to render her harmless, but then again, she almost certainly owns firearms?

Sigh.
