I think it's hard to "leave politics out" when the article is written specifically because he was muslim. If he was christian nobody would care. This is pro-muslim propaganda, and it's hard to "leave politics out" when discussing propaganda.

If you don't like politics as much as you claim you do, such stories wouldn't be allowed here. This is not hacker related, not news and not tech related in any way. The only purpose of this story is to improve image of muslims. It doesn't even matter if this is real or not - the fact that it is published is what matters , clearly showing intent. And the fact that you leave the story up while removing harmless comment which was just a hint that the article is likely political, means you, and probably HN in itself, is willingly participating in the propaganda.
I knew HN was overwhelmingly pro muslim, but I had some hope you would at least stay away from actual political propaganda. Good luck on your censor job. HN won't be missed.
What a bizarre phrase to see here. That is not a thing; it exists in the minds of people who believe they're in a religious war—and presumably want to be, since that's the only reason to think it. No one is welcome to conduct religious war on HN.

I guess it's true what they say. When you can't argue the substance, dismiss it as propaganda.
A semantic correction for you, there is only one Abrahamic deity. Christians and Muslims of course made some changes to the religion surrounding the deity. However, all three religions are based around the same deity that originally spoke to Abraham. Hence the adjective "Abrahamic". I point out this correction because people often try to draw hard lines between them as entirely different religions when in actuality their teaching share more in common than they don't. And strangely enough, it seems the people who spend the most time engrossed in those teachings are the most in need of that reminder.
I see that more as a testament to their lack of faith in humanity and that it isn't beneath people to do this. The side effect of the story being the actual story, rather than politics.
