If his interpretation/understanding of the Koran and of Islam was some sort of official Islamic law, documented in their doctrine, it would be completely fine. The Islam religion doesn't need to be obliterated. Just reformed.
MK is not really the representative of Islam, and he certainly isn't the most average example of what a Muslim is, like you are not the most common example of what a Catholic is. Exceptions do not change the rules, they stand out against everyone else and shine. Margaret Tatcher was prime minister during a time when sexism was still grossly common, but that didn't mean sexism ceased to exist, she was simply an exception to the rule.
Actually, yes I am lol. I spent my whole life in Catholic groups/communities and I am a very accurate representation of a practicing Catholic in the US. Can't say anything about MK though, I guess he can confirm or deny this.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
