Conclusion
Muslims display extreme dishonesty in the arguments they use to defend Islam. Muslims demand that Islam receives special protection so that it can never be criticized. Lying appears to be the standard approach to communicating to the Kafir. One wonders how much of this lying is based upon ignorance versus the specific Islamic directive of Taqiyya, which is to lie to non-believers.
