He completely misunderstands that Muslims can lie, cheat, steal to advance the cause of Islam over the infidels. He ignores the recent history of Europe where Muslims are not assimilating but instead remaining isolated in their enclaves while pushing for Shariah law for Muslims and non-Muslims alike and honor-killing women who have somehow dishonored the family by adopting Western dress or attitudes.
This is his Rodney King plea that "Can't we just all get along??"

I ran across this too. It seems as though its OK to lie in order to convert someone to Islam, The ends justifies the means:
Those three words and concepts are:
Taqiyya - concealing or disguising ones beliefs, convictions, ideas, feelings, opinions, and/or strategies
Kitman - half-truths that mislead and deceive
Tu-Quoque - the diversionary tactic of accusing others of Muslims own lack of peace and tolerance
So whether its Ahmadinejad regarding nuclear weapons, or iman Rauf regarding the the ground zero mosque, dont forget that their religion not only allows, but encourages, those concepts when dealing with non-Muslims - to the point that they such actions are considered good and part of the works that will earn them a place in heaven.
It does not matter that most muslims are not terrorists, What matters is that most terrorists are muslims.
The writer is a cretin.
I learned all I needed to know about Islam on 9/11. Did this nimrod sleep through that day, or what?
Wonder if Quigly is on Purple Haze or the Orange Sunshine today?
The mosk isn’t a mosk. It’s a symbol. The left uses it as an excuse to defend their friends, the headchoppers. Normal people see it as an example of the advance of the headchoppers.
My proposal: deport all liberals along with their friends, the headchoppers.
Winthrop Quigley — this guy’s name says it all: a weak, cringing, frightened little dhimmi. Be glad, Winthrop, that there are brave, tough men (and women) who stand in harm’s way to defend your freedoms.
Every mosque is a copy of every other one. They may look a little different but the message in the bottle is the same. sharia is sharia. And it will be the only law of every land. The US Constitution is at the top of the islam hit list.
All of this is true, the moslems have written it down and said it out loud. And showed us on 9/11. No amount of wishful thinking, political correctness or a blind eye will change the basic and unquestionable fact that islam is here to destroy America.
islam is not a religion, just a sneaky way to enslave humans.
Yeah, that sure looks complex
NM list PING!

“Islam’s Complex, But Not a Threat”
There is a scarred hole in the ground in lower Manhattan that begs to differ.
Yeah boy...not a threat as long as you SUBMIT!
He got it all from the writings of Karen Armstrong. Nuff said.
Only someone named Winthrop Quigley (really??) could come up with something like this.
So they “will” transform American culture and we should just accept it. Except Islamic theocracy is completely INCOMPATIBLE with our Constitution.
It is a competing system of government just as Communism is.
Like most pro-Muslim writers, this guy ignores a central fact of Islam. In the most moderate of Muslim countries - Turkey, Malaysia and Indonisia - relatively small numbers of fundamentalists kill, bomb and terrorize with a degree of impunity due to the sympathy the majority have for them.
Conversion is not coerced?
Really?
They why kill of the men and marry off the women and children and bring them up as muslims?
Why conquer lands and refer to them as “Islamic territories”?
We believe in an inalienable right to a freedom of religion. That means freedom to read religious texts. Freedom to enter cities. Freedom to convert away from Islam. The capital of the Islamic empire does not support any of these freedoms. If the capital gets it wrong, how is it the outlying colonies are “getting it right”? Shouldn’t they work to get their own house in order first? Shouldn’t they take the “not really muslim” Islamic supremacists to task? They bow to Mecca 5 times a day, every day. Are they just going through the motions? Or do they not care about the religious freedoms of ALL people?
Islam is simple.
Submit or die.
Winthrop Quigley
Winthrop Quigley, the business writer for the Albuquerque Journal, took exception to some of the terms that conservative health care reform protesters have been using so far, because, he writes, I am a big fan of calling things by their proper name. And that proper name, Quigley writes, isnt socialism.
