"Not True"
Reader comment on item: Is Grover Norquist an Islamist?

Submitted by Jonathan Rick (United States), Mar 29, 2006 at 22:33

In an August 2005 profile of Norquist in the New Yorker, John Cassidy says that, pace reports, he hasn't converted:

"Others have suggested that Norquist, in marrying a Muslim, converted to Islam, which isn't true."

It's also worth noting that in 2003, Norquist banned Gaffney from the Wednesday meeting for being a "despicable racist."
