I’m gorging myself on humble pie here. Tonight, the 5th of December another poster used the term taqiya in a new, and different post from this one.
I looked at this again.
You are correct, BUT, and I say BUT in capital letters I still am confused how we’ve been using Political Correctness.
OK, the word Taqiya I had mixed up with jizyah which is the tax on non believers, so that messed me up in our initial discussion early on.
Taqiya once associated with dissimulation, and then noting synonyms the likes of pretense · dissembling · deceit · dishonesty · duplicity · puts it into proper perspective. (I still don’t understand your comments about PC though.)
Anyway, I am here to tell you job well done, and thanks for the heads up on Taqiya, but PC hasn’t a thing to do with it. Understanding the extent of Islamic deceit has more to do with it than anything else as I see it.
Thank you for the kind words.
The reason I look at taqiya in this instance, is that as a human in the workplace I formed bonds with the people I worked with. Some few, quite frankly I did not like much. However, were I bent on a mission of mayhem ordered by some higher power that I must obey, I would choose not to murder my friends. I would prefer to go after strangers. This animal chose to go after his workplace friends. And I am presuming he had workplace friends. Also, I do not think that he was insane.
I am thinking that the concept of Taqiya from the Koran may have inspired him to attack his workplace friends, i.e. deceiving them and then defeating them, where defeat = kill.
We seem not to want to understand Islam. I find it disturbing that the Islamic concept of Taqiya is not being discussed with regard to San Bernardino.
