Muxin is claiming that his own interpretation is correct. However, he could be right or he could be wrong. Or neither right or wrong depending on the case.
There could be a correct interpretation to a text given the historical, literary, and other aspects of the text that puts in its intended context. Perhaps the "original" context is irrelevant today but some groups might use it to incite violence giving it a new context. So it would be fair to challenge the interpretation as wrong if that is the case.
However, I don't know enough about the Koran to criticize it or to defend it so I won't make claims. Much less assume someone has the right interpretation and authority to make claims about correct interpretation. That includes the author of the Huffington Post article.
