The Doctrine of Deception (Taqiyya) is deeply ingrained in the Muslim Culture. The status of the Infidels is well documented in the Qur'an and Hadith. Deceiving infidels to gain an advantage is sanctioned by the Qur'an and supported in the Hadith. Trusting a fundamentalist Muslim is like trusting a Nazi during WWII or a Communist since the Russian revolution, only worse. Muslims believe they are under a mandate from God. That is a much stronger foundation than just a political philosophy. It is unfortunate, but if you trust them they will win. But who says Western Civilization has to last forever?
