islam and honesty

Dialog makes sense if held with someone who is honest, or can be honest.

Islam and honesty do not go hand in hand. Muslims will always deceive the non-muslims, and be proud of having done so, in matters related to religion, politics, history-writing etc.

Differentiating between islam and islamism is however self-deceit on the part of the non-muslims. To look for islamist motives and connections need not be done extra - to be a muslim and to be an agent and quisling of islam is sufficient motive and connection. Why do more work than necessary?
