In a longwinded article titled “Hidden Enemies: An American History of Taqiyya” for Cabinet magazine, the author, “Joshua Craze” -- an apparent pseudonym for a self-identified Muslim man -- predictably downplays the dangers of taqiyya, an Islamic doctrine that permits Muslims to deceive non-Muslims. Consider the following excerpts:
[T]aqiyya had become a central pillar of the far-right’s rendition of Islam. Because I am a masochist, I spent a few days trying to source all the quotations in one report, “Taqiyya about Taqiyya” by Raymond Ibrahim, a virulent Islamophobe associated with David Horowitz… It would be too easy to say that distorted facts and quotations proliferate in such pieces because of a disregard for the truth. Raymond Ibrahim and his fellow Taqiyyists have inordinate regard for a central truth: that Islam is evil. This truth flattens everything else -- the seventh century and the twenty-first form part of a single tapestry of intelligibility. Everything makes sense. It’s impossible to refute Ibrahim. He has certainty, where I can offer only ambiguity and nuance. That’s not much of an answer. As ever, paranoia is far more coherent than real life.
Concerning “Craze’s” charges, the reader is free to evaluate my article, “Taqiyya about Taqiyya” -- originally the expert report portion of my affidavit in a legal case concerning taqiyya -- and see if it “distorts facts” and has a “disregard for the truth.” (Curiously, although Craze linked to and documented every other article he referenced, including those he was critical of, he failed to link to mine.)
Of more interest is his point, that, when it comes to Islam, people would rather have certainty -- which apparently culminates into “paranoia” -- rather than what he offers, “ambiguity and nuance.” He continues in this vein:

You’d be craze to trust a muzz slime.
The left sticks their necks out to do it, but I don’t.
Never trust a muslim, they are ALL only jihadists in waiting.
I wouldn’t trust a mooslim from |-| if you know what I mean
Only if you want to die.
I think we need an addendum to the first amendment: “No purported religion that requires/permits the slaughter of non-adherents shall be given rights under freedom of religion.” Maybe someone else can state that more succinctly, but at least it would allow us to ban Islam in this country & prevent Muslims from moving here.
The left sticks OUR necks out... through foreign policy...
No. Since their ideology allows them to lie to infidels, the answer is no.
No
The same is true for black American citizens. Both groups are basically American enemies
However, there is are truly good black and American citizens that have deserted their anti American brethren. They must be disassociated from the radical anti’s
There are 68 passages in the koran advising the muslim to lie, cheat, steal and kill the infidel. From age 4, they are brainwashed to achieve their goal to convert the infidel to islam and never pledge allegiance to the Constitution only sharia law.....
Should you give blanket trust to anyone?
Trust what?
Trust that they want to kill us and subject us to sharia law is the only thing I trust them to do.
They have done NOTHING to regain that trust.
Absolutely!
IF you are an obamanite!
then you too can chant
Death to America!
Feature the UN and China together!
Not in China
No.
“Should Blanket Trust be Granted Muslims?”
Sure but only if you want to eventually be told to convert to Islam of lose your head.
Should blanket trust be granted anyone? Trust is earned.
This.
Anyways, Islamic countries across the Middle East are ditching the Palestinian cause and signing treaties with Israel. Why? They're tired of being backwards sh*tholes and they want the cooperation of Israel to move forward to modernize and innovate. In the words of one Saudi official, "Palestine is the past. Israel is the future."
So, I'm not going to give blanket trust to anyone but on the flip side, I'm not going to reflexively hate Muslims either, particularly when they are making efforts to come to the table.
