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.
"Finally a voice of reason in this thread.
These stupid knee-jerk responses that want to condemn an entire religious group are no better than the jihads of Islamic extremists."
Ahhhh, two voices of reason on a thread of over 180 posts; you must feel so special?
Better go ask your imam how to handle this travesty.
Poor you.
Tell it to him straight TC, no sugar coating now! I am so sick of these panderers throwing the bigot word around as though we will be cowed by it.
We know the intent of the islamofascists. We know they would glady slit the throats of our children and smile while they do it.
Anyone who doubts it needs to read the horrors of Beslan again, a refresher course of the horrific brutality and lack of compassion of the islamicfascist mindset.
Never give up, never give in. If we don't stand together, we will fall, as will our beloved nation.
Exactly right Ari!
TBP,
I have nothing against Hundus. They do not kill people who critize or question their beliefs.
I have nothing against Buddhists. They do not kill people who critize or question their beliefs.
I DO have MAJOR problems with the death cult knows as islam. THEY KILL FOLKS WHO CRITIZE THEIR BELIEFS. They are the ONLY ones who do this these days.
I have NOTHING against other religions. I HAVE A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH FANITCS WHO KILL PEOPLE FOR CRITIZING THEIR BELIEFS.
Wake up TBP. Learn something before it's too late.
Count me in, Freddie
I MISS BROADSWORD!
For he's a jolly good fellow.
He spoke the truth, and now he is reading what we say and has no voice to agree with us about how great he is.
It's ok, Broadsword. We know what you said and will stand for your right to say it.!
To Broadsword: he will know of our tribute before this night is over, I vow.
I hope Broadsword is reading this right now.
We miss you buddy!!
you have mail
Palestinians with children just don't want to see billboards with Sara Jessica Parker with her tits hanging out
____________________
Um, breasts, please? Some of us aren't crazy about vulgarity on FR either. And I highly doubt that is the prime motivator for the hate of the Palestinians for Americans. There is little in Islam that is truly moral or comes close to the philosophy of love that is the Lord Jesus.
I am toasting Broadsword with a lovely pint of Guinness!
You worry about hate?
Try going to where the World Trade Center stood and you will see a fine example of what HATE really is. If that fails, go to Pennsylvania and see where flight 93 dove into a field at 500 miles per hour. Still a doubter? Try the massive hole in the side of USS COLE, or the Pentagon.
Now THERE is HATE!
You are the one that seems to be ignorant-of facts!
You DO realize that if the islamofascists ever got hold of a nuke, they wouldn't hesitate to use it here in the US.
Give 'em hell. Ari!
Me thinks it's time to get to work a MEMO to the "Cry Bigot!" crowd to post up each time they appear, in order to prevent future threads from being hijacked...

Bravo USF! Excellent idea. It would frustrate the CAIR cabal no end to not be able to engage us in the fashion they intend.
The ones that turn my gut are the pics that have the toddlers still in prams that are dressed up as homicide bombers. Positively sickening!
These stupid knee-jerk responses that want to condemn an entire religious group are no better than the jihads of Islamic extremists.

Au contraire, Jorge. We are better, if for no better reasons than these--we won't behead you, slit your throat, fly planes into buildings, vaporizing thousands or shoot middle aged social workers in the back of the head. I'd say that gives us a good head start right there.
The Second Step of AA says:
2.[We] "Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity."
I know of no greater insanities than the world of alcoholism and Islam.
3. "Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him."
God is waiting. He wants none to perish. All it takes is the will to give it all to God.
4. "Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves."
5. "Admitted to God, to ourselves, and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs."
There is an inventory of the evil acts of Islam. It's called the History of Terrorist Acts since 1969.
The admission of this evil is what Christians and Jews have been asking for.
6. "Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character."
7. "Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings."
God, and only God, can remove the evil in the hearts of Muslims all over the world. All they have to do is ask Him.
8. "Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all."
9. "Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others."
Muslims can start with verbal amends to the survivors of the Kobar Towers massacre, the USS Cole, the World Trade Center and Bali, to name a few.
10. "Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it."
11. "Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God, as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out."
12. "Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these Steps, we tried to carry this message to (Muslims) alcoholics, and to practice these principles in all our affairs."
These steps can begin to cure the disease and insanity of Islam in the same way they start the suffering alcoholic on the road to recovery.
In AA we call the people who facilitate the continuance of the alcoholic's disease, "enablers".
The silent majority of Muslims who say nothing and do nothing to condemn the insanity of their terrorist brothers are enablers.
Sounds pointless to me.
Unless you think a contest between religious deeds is the basis for banning those religions we consider inferior.
That is of course what I was addressing.
How would I know and why should I care?
I'm a Christian who considers EVERY other religion a path to Hell.
Do you have a clue as to what I was objecting to in my post?
Your responses have nothing to do with what I posted.
