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.
Life is short. Try to enjoy disagreeing with people on Free Republic. It's fun!
celebrates troll-like behavior. You are strictly contrarian and are seeking to sow discord rather than solve problems or deal with issues in a reasonable manner.
I have had some GREAT disagreements on FR, and they did not contain the "code words" of the DU: bigot, fascist, racist, nazi, etc.
Add something to the discussion at hand, what do you propose?
People in this country have a right to dislike those they consider "the Enemy", until something occurs to change their minds.
Do you think that Jewish people have the right to dislike all Germans for the actions of the Nazis?
LOL! Now you see where 'they' come from. It's nothing to do with islam, it's just another religion, one of the three 'great religions to come out of the middle east' and the people who perpetrate these evil crimes in the name of the divine and sinless mohammad are nothing but criminals.
I mean, it's so simple I wonder why I didn't think of it first. There's gunna be a whole bunch of people in Iran and Iraq and the Sudan and Lebanon and Israel and Kashmir and India and the Netherlands and Norway and Germany and where-ever else you can think of that are going to be so very very relieved! And Indonesia, The Philipines, Papua, Malaysia, even the Russians and the Chinese will be grateful they worried about nothing...not to mention the US and my fellow Australians...
Do you get it? Terrorists are Criminals!
Oh,I see. I guess I will just have to join the thread,so that I may also "win" a frog. :-)
I wasn't gonna chide you on one wee typo. Nice self catch,though. :-)
The President agrees with YOU, I must be talking to his innermost advisor.
I'll say on last thing to you---learn about islam other that what you think you know. You seem to know little, if anything about it. Islam is clear with it's intentions.
As for the counseling, I got all I needed on 9/11.
Sorry, prayers to the cult of islam go nowhere with me.
If you are, as you state, a Christian, you had best get used to being a follower of the TROP.
'cause Christians are a big taboo in islam.
celebrates troll-like behavior. You are strictly contrarian and are seeking to sow discord rather than solve problems or deal with issues in a reasonable manner.
You haven't been on FR too long have you...
This is a tough place...not for the thin skinned who blame disagreenent on "trolls" and those who "sow discord".
Grow up.
You haven't addressed a single thing i've said or shown me where you disagree with my posted opinion in this thread.
OH. But I guess you can't! That would make you a "contrarian" "troll".
LOL!
ONE MORE TIME!
They are NOT distorting it's teachings!
READ THE QURAN!
:-)
I just posted the same thing!
Cool. Great way of avoiding admitting President Bush and I agree that the war on terrorism should not be made into a religious war on Islam.
Guess that is too much for you to admit.
Read my profile, Ihave the guts to post one; been here since November, 2000...I am not going to get into a useless conversation with you...Troll.
Who's praying to Islam?
I TOLD YOU I am a Christian.
What is wrong with you?
TC:
There isn't any point in going there. All of us have tried, without success, to get Jorge to understand that fact. He simply repeats his tired mantra about freedom of religion, etc. As if Islam could care about our laws--unless it lets islam use them to destroy us.
He fails to notice that what these terrorits do is commanded by the Quran. They do it because the must do it to see the 72 Madeleine Albright-like virgins in the hereafter.
He thinks that islam is peaceful, but if he were better educated on the subject, he would see tha error od his ways.
If he wishes to remain ignorant, let him be. Hopefully he is safe there SW of Philly from any attacks that are carried out in the "Freedom of Religion" that he so worries about.
Yeah, you SAID you were a Christian, but I think you are more an islamofascist apologist.
YOU read the Quran!
There are people who read the Bible and cite the OT scriptures about killing the unbelieving pagans and make the SAME stupid points you are trying to make.
Give us all a break!
I, and many others, have posted verse after verse of the Quran illustrating this cult of blood and death, but there are apologists who will not accept it.
And you say this without a SINGLE quote from me to support such an accusation.
If you actually read my posts you would know that I already said that I think Islam is a totally FALSE religion that leads people to Hell.
But of course my REAL position isn't important while you are smearing anybody who disagrees with you, IS IT.
Religious War. Religious War. Religious War...maybe if he repeats it often enough?
Why am I reminded of the mantra I hear very day on the news? Civil War . Civil War. Civil War.
I pray the Left and the 'religious freedom' advocates don't get what they seem to even if subconsciously, wish for.
It makes me suspicious when I hear them say it so often. Think about it. We don't use these terms in our discussions. Could it be some kind of wish-fulfillment to see the words Religious War in print?
