In Islam, lying or omissions for the 'greater good,' according to a strict or radical Islam/Islamist philosophy is not only acceptable, it is holy and blessed work. It is called al-Takeyya (or al-Taqiyya) and is a strategy outlined in the Hadiths and supported by various interpretations of some of the Suras in the Koran. We have just seen it in action and most people never even caught the whiff of mental ether the Islamists were pouring into the airways of the already comatose and choking non-Islamist world.
Al-Takeyya is a policy whereby a Muslim may lie, deceive or omit critical truths if it promotes the spreading of Islam AND the conquest of the non-Muslim world. According to William P. Welty, Ph.D., al-Takeyya/Taqiyya is:
"The Islamic principle of lying for the sake of Allah. Falsehoods told to prevent denigration of Islam, to protect oneself, or to promote the cause of Islam are sanctioned by the Qur'an, including lying under penalty of perjury in testimony before the United States Congress, lying or making distorted statements to the media such as claiming that Islam is a religion of peace and deceiving fellow Muslims when the one lying has deemed them to be apostates." (1)
And here is the definition from an Islam encyclopedia website:
"The word "al-Taqiyya" literally means: "Concealing or disguising one's beliefs, convictions, ideas, feelings, opinions, and/or strategies..." (2)
Now here's where the latest Islamist sneak maneuver of al Takeyya/Taqiyya comes into play. The Islamic Commission of Spain issued a decree against al-Qaeda terrorist leader Osama bin Laden. They did this in response to the bombing of a Madrid train last year by al Qaeda.
Mansur Escudero, head of the Federation of Islamic Religious Entities, called on clerics to formally condemn terrorism and pray for all terror victims. He went on to state, ''The terrorist acts of Osama bin Laden and his al Qaeda organization ... which result in the death of civilians, such as women and children ... are totally prohibited and are the object of strong condemnation within Islam.''
Sounds good so far.
But let's examine what this man did not say, as well as the timing of his little media-sensation fatwa.
This fatwa was timed to coincide with the 1-year anniversary of the bombing in Madrid. Sure, several hundred people died, but this is not the first time that hundreds, nay, thousands of people have died at the hands of Muslims merely because they weren't Muslim.
Therefore, one must ask why was there no such fatwa issued in the aftermath of 9-11? And why has no fatwa about the "...death of civilians, such as women and children'' ever been issued regarding the thousands upon thousands of Jewish/Israeli victims of genocidal terror ever been issued?
I will tell you why. This is al-Takeyya/Taqiyya at its most devious and deceptive. And the key word here is 'civilians.'
In radical Islam (Islamism), any Jew living in Israel is not considered either 'innocent' or a 'civilian.' Nor were the people living and working in America on 9-11. Islamists consider the 'Great Satan -- America,' and the 'Little Satan -- Israel,' to be enemy combatants. And this includes every man, woman or child, even babes in arms, even sleeping or in school or playing in playgrounds. This includes any and all who are not Islamists and who oppose being forced to kneel down and pay homage to Allah or his followers. In particular, Christians (whom they call 'Crusaders'), and Jews.
This also includes those of us who refuse to allow the Islamists to insidiously inject their politico-religious dogma into our way of life. And this especially includes Israel, whom the Islamists view as a polluting force in their quest for 'Arab unity' and a Judenrein Middle East.
So the fatwa issued by this Muslim cleric living in Spain was meant to put the free and civilized world into yet another coma. He was hoping we would see this supposedly 'peaceful and tolerant' religious edict and sing the praises of Islam and remind each other how it is a 'peaceful' religion, even though the word 'Islam' also means 'to submit,' and our utter and complete submission is what they are working towards.
The crafter of this latest religious edict, so proudly trumpeted to the world, has achieved nothing more than a clumsy attempt to delude us into thinking that Islamism is really nice and honorable and loving and peaceful. It is also meant to deceive us into believing that even though such edicts were never issued -- and will never be issued -- regarding Americans or Israelis, these particular Muslims are mainstream moderates.
Camel cakes! We are now familiar with the ploy of lying, omissions and deceit as sanctioned by al-Takeyya/Taqiyya. And some of us are not in a humanist/liberal feel-good coma like lambs going to the slaughter. And we will continue to alert you to the deceptions used by the Islamists.
The lesson to be learned here is not to look for what is said, but what is deliberately not said. If anything, this fatwa, by its omissions and timing (or lack thereof) has simply reinforced the fact that the Islamists do not see Israel or Judeo-Christian America as 'innocent.' It has reaffirmed that they see us all as ripe for deceit and murder in the name of Allah.
Very true, they're not allowed to think, or vent in any way. It's like when I was discussing slavery in Saudi Arabia, and how lecherous Saudi males import "maids" from Asia who are relieved of their passports, and become nothing more than slaves with few rights (as a women or a non-Muslim the have next to no rights) in Saudi.
The Saudi males rape and molest these unfortunate maids slaves with impunity and most of the time when the wife finds out she ends up beating the poor girl too, as the wife is also nothing but a "woman" and has no power against her husband or other males of the house.
If the husband wishes, he can instantly divorce the wife, and she becomes and instant outcast in their society... and if the maid slave says anything, all the Muslim male has to do is accuse her of theft and she ends up at "Chop Chop Square" (They really do call it that) after Friday prayers (Jummah).
What a way to live your life. No wonder they're angry.
IMHO, they are all SLAVES.
He that cannot reason is a fool.
He that will not is a bigot.
He that dare not is a slave.

"So as Americans, are we suppose to just allow this ideology to take over our Country?"
Never!
We must shout from the mountaintops that the TROP is designed to MAKE us one of it's own. The sooner that the US (and the rest of the world) know that, the better off we shall be.
TROP gives sham -like choices (really a Hobson's choice)
Either convert and give up all of your freedoms---or DIE.
TROP is what communism was like---utter control over every facet of your life, period!
>>>>I kind of like being called a Crusader.<<<<
You know what Johnb838? I like it too! I think Crusader may me just the name we should take on as warriors against this evil enemy.
From Google: Crusade
1.An organized effort to accomplish a purpose:
2.A goal or set of interests served with dedication:
3.A vigorous concerted movement for a cause or against an abuse.
Islam is an abusive cult that needs to be destroyed.
Yes, I will be a Crusader in the cause to eradicate islam from this planet. Any one else?
I'll join your Crusade. My weapon will be pictures of the evil that islam does.
The time for words alone is past.
Thanks Fred. That is great news. The pictures you posted today were powerful indeed.
Never doubt where I stand. I'll be on the front lines.
Count me in Jan! You have my sword.
Good post Jan!
I hope I am excused too!
Love ya

It is interesting that none of those definitions includes the use of the word CROSS, as Crusaders are inherently Christians who ride to war under the cross. They've been revised and reviled, but I'm convinced they were the ones in the middle ages who saw that Islam needed to be opposed and were willing to lay down their lives to oppose it. So I think it's a sacred charge, though the left twists its meaning to equal roughly "racist".
I love the way that the fatwa against bin Laden is just discounted.
There are Islamists, AKA Islamofascists, and there are Islamics (Muslims) who ar eas disgusted by teh terrorism perpetrated in their name by Nazi nutcases, Hitlers in headscarves, like bin Laden as we are. That you refuse to see the difference does not speak well for you.
The enemy is modern-day fascism, whether it comes with a Muslim face, a Christian face (not many of those around today), a Hindu face, or whatever kind of face it puts on. The enemy is not an entire religious group.
That is true (assuming by your somewhat bigoted slam "moon cult" you mean Muslims and not the Unification Church.) However, there are terrorists who are not Muslim and there are many Muslims who are not terrorists. You can't just condemn an entire people becaue some of them engage in terrorism.
Down in Africa, black folks are hoilding other people in slavery. Should we then say that blacks are slaveowning tyrants? Take your blinders off and you'll see that there is no difference between that statement and the kinds of statements you make about ALL Muslims, whoc you call "slime."
We don't do that kind of bigoted hate here at FR.
No, some people are using parts of the Koran to justify an agenda of hate and terror. There are places in the Bible that could be read as promoting violence. You and I know better, but someone else could read them that way. Should that person use them to justify violence, would we then have to condemn all Christians because some are terrorists?
