The spread of Islam in the United States is a good thing. CAIR has done an excellent job of representing Muslim views in the United States. From his perspective, why go to a Muslim and ask what they really believe? He should welcome dialogur / discussion / free exchange of ideas.

Que-You don't go to Muslims to see what they believe, you go to the Quran, the Hadith and Sunnah of Muhammad to see what Islam believes. Muhammad himself said "I'm a model for all mankind", hence the ultimate source of information comes from him. Modern day Muslims lie about Islam, which is acceptable to spread its message they base this actions on the actions of "the story of the King of Negav". They are the minority and they will immediately change if they become the Majority.

Some day, real dialogue would have to commence. Issues like what to do with the 5 million Palestinian refugees created by Israel would have to be addressed. Ill-advised US policies would have to be re-thought. Oh, the horror of it all....

Que-These refugees weren't created by Israel. They left before the Israeli war. Even historically, the Palestinians (Philistines) never controlled much of the land they want today from Israel. That is a myth. At the height of their empire the Philistines only had portions of the coast of Modern day Israel. (The Palestinians are not Philistines)
