Any human will be loyal to their God before all. If Norquist is a practicing religious Muslim he should never ever be trusted for even one second...ever again.

This is not my opinion BTW, it's a hard and very real fact of life.

AAABEST, a couple points:

  1. No one has said Norquist is a Muslim. He is doing what he thinks is best by trying to bring Muslims together with the President. The problem is, he has picked a bunch of very unsavoury Muslims, if the allegations in the article are even half true.
  2. There are plenty of "practicing religious Muslims" that don't want to kill people or see Islam rule the world at sword's point. I know some of them, and they can render unto Allah what is Allah's and unto the USA what is the USA's as well as any Christian, Jew, Hindu or heathen can. It is very important to understand that Islam is a large and complex religion, riven by fault lines. The Wahabbists -- Grover's friends -- are the ones that insist that there is only one path, and it is their path (imagine that). They are rather like the Roundheads in the English Civil War that way; they dream of a world united under a caliph, a sort of Islamic Cromwell. That is an image that appeals no more to many Muslims than a return of Cromwell would to many Christians.
I can tell that you are sincere, but when we lump all Muslims together, we play into the hands of the terrorists, who tell the Muslims that don't support them that Americans hate them all and they must hang together. We don't, and they mustn't... we need to welcome all Muslims who can shoulder their part of America, and get rid of those who would make America a Wahhabi nightmare land.

The devil is in telling who's who... as Grover Norquist could probably tell us right now. Tough to be him today.

d.o.l.
