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.
BTWE, that also Sounds like something that DUmmies would say---not FReepers.
YOU take everything WAY too seriously.
Seems EVERYBODY who disagrees with you must be a terrorist sympathizer or a DU troll.
You need to lighten up. Life is too short.
"fool", "apologist", "just plain ignorant"
"just like the DUmmies, all name calling......."
ROFL!
No, I'm PROUD. (SAY IT LOUD!)
I love frogs. What does one have to do,to earn a "frog" ?
You need to get a clue--and to figure what is important.
I don't need your stupid advice to lighten up---you probably never went to a funeral for victims of the 9/11 attacks and could care less what happened to them
I did--and they were my friends.
I saw the 50 foot hole in the USS COLE from a islamofascist attack up close and for real. A Navy buddy of mine is minus a leg due to it.
I grew up for a while in NYC---and saw what happened to a city I enjoyed calling home.
Bugger off!
And there you have it folks, it's nothing to do with islam at all, it's all just criminal activity.
WOW ! What kind of frog is that?
Are you are Troll?
Tell the truth. Sniff sniff.
you're proud?
Go join you imam for a little terrorplanning, ok?
BRAVO!
do they still have the term ODC (ordinary decent criminal) in Oz?
Do you ever watch the news? Or read the serious threads about Islam?
There IS a serious world out there where people are getting slaughtered in the name of Islam.
To US, this IS serious!
We are at war with Islam all over the world.
You can bet your bippy that the people in the WTC knew it was serious!
What is taught and practiced is tribal hazing and heinous traditions and ceremonys.. A tribal blood bath, Islam runs on blood.. been so for 1625 years.. At no time in history were Muslims Not spilling innocent blood on a grand scale.. If it were not for 9/11 we would still be seeing the problems in Africa and other parts of the world as local difficultys.. When Islam is at work globally and has been for 1625 years.. When there is no infidels to murder, they murder each other...
Islam and communism which is socialism always seem to be on the same page.. Mob rule of all bents are on the same side..
And if I did I would hate ALL MULSIMS and want their religion outlawed from the USA?
President Bush is without a question the #1 warrior against terrorism in the WORLD...and he agrees with me that this should NOT be turned into some religious war against ALL Muslims.
You need to seek counseling to overcome your misdirected bitterness.
Hi, np! Good to see you!
That, my dear, is a RED FROG!
No, I'm not being funny. That's it's name! It's deadly, by the way.
We give frogs to those who are undetered in their fight against the evil cult of Islam.
My Imam? I'm a Christian.
I guess you forgot that little detail while lashing out indiscriminately at those who DARE disagree with you on this board.
I'll pray for you.
I forgot an "r" in "undeterred".
And my position is that we should remove ALL Islamic terrorists and those who suppor them from this earth.
They DESERVE to be killed.
But I don't support the idea that we should ban an entire religion because of the nut cases who distort it's teachings to kill people.
