The TIME article you quote talks about "tantriks" who practice black magic and superstitions. From that article itself -
It is partially accurate to say the Goddess Kali Ma is a goddess of death. However, She brings the death of the ego as the delusional self-centered view of reality. Nowhere in the sriptures is She seen killing anything but demons nor is She associated exclusively with the process of human dying like Yama the Hindu god of death.
Through ignorance of the story behind Goddess Kali Ma it is easy to misinterpret Her symbolism. In the same way one could say that Christianity is a religion of destruction, death, and cannibalism in which the followers eat the flesh of Jesus and drink his blood. Of course, we know this is not the correct way to understand the communion sacrament.
Now help me understand why the entire Islamic world was up in arms when the Danish cartoonist depicted the Prophet/Islam a certain way ? From his view point, you could make an arguement that Islam has become associated with terrorism.
