All that is needed is a faux rationale of 'danger to religion' or to 'avoid persecution' and - viola - their consciences are satisfied.It is also written in Muslim Holy Texts that it is permissible to lie to Unbelievers in order to deceive them.
Whatever makes ya'll think that anything a Muslim tells a non-Muslim is reliable?
Taqiyya - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Islam taqiyya تقية (alternative spellings taqiyeh,taqiya, taqiyah, tuqyah) is a form of religious dissimulation,[1] or a legal dispensation whereby a believing individual can deny his faith or commit otherwise illegal or blasphemous acts while they are at risk of significant persecution.[2]
This practice was emphasized in Shi'a Islam whereby adherents may conceal their religion when they are under threat, persecution, or compulsion.[3] Taqiyya was developed to protect Shi'ites who were usually in minority and under pressure. In the Shi'a view, taqiyya is lawful in situations where there is overwhelming danger of loss of life or property and where no danger to religion would occur thereby.[1]

The same thing that makes me think anything a Jew, Christian or anyone else tells me is reliable. Individual character.
I doubt that one has to roam very far on the Internet to dredge-up specific examples.
You are going to continue to view Islam as the equivalent of Judaism or Christianity vis a vis its compatibility with The West, no matter what anyone says or does to illustrate the contrary position in the matter.
Others (myself included) hold differently. I don't like it. I don't trust it. I don't want it around. It is poison.
I disagree. As do others.
