do some internet searches for arabic term al-taqiyya
and no, I don't think it is a personal attack to post what I think is the truth about that "religion of peace"
but enough of this, there is plenty of anti/pro islamic stuff available via the internet. would posting any of that change our opinions ? not mine & I doubt yours
I know what
taqqiyih is. Its not really a Suni kind of thing. It is much more prevalent in the Shi'ite side of the schism.
Taqqiyih, is also clearly defined. Under circumstance of extreme personal danger, where if a muslim admits to being a muslim it will result in his death THEN he is allowed to deny being a muslim.
It is not alright for him to lie in general. Lyin is something entirely different.
"And if they did call thee a liar, apostles before thee have been called liars too, who came with manifest signs, and with scriptures, and with the illuminating Book."
(The Qur'an (E.H. Palmer tr), Sura 3 - Imran's Family)
"Full well we know that verily that which they say grieves thee; but they do not call thee only a liar, for the unjust gainsay the signs of God. Called liars too were apostles before thee; but they were patient of being called liars and of being hurt until our help came to them; for there is none to change the words of God- now has there come to thee the story of those He sent."
(The Qur'an (E.H. Palmer tr), Sura 6 - Cattle)
"But when He gave them of His grace they were niggardly thereof, and turned their backs and swerved aside. So He caused hypocrisy to pursue them in their hearts unto the day when they shall meet Him,- for that they did fail God in what they promised Him, and for that they were liars!
Do they not know that God knows their secrets and their whisperings, and that God knows the unseen things?"
(The Qur'an (E.H. Palmer tr), Sura 9 - Repentance or Immunity)
"And there are those who have taken to a mosque for mischief, and for misbelief, and to make a breach amongst the believers, and for an ambush for him who made war against God and His Apostle before; they surely swear, 'We only wished for what was good;' but God bears witness that they are liars."
(The Qur'an (E.H. Palmer tr), Sura 9 - Repentance or Immunity)
"O my people! act according to your power; verily, I too will act, and ye at length shall know! To whomsoever torment comes it shall disgrace him, and him who is a liar. Watch then; verily, I with you am watching too!'"
(The Qur'an (E.H. Palmer tr), Sura 11 - Hud)
"Why did not, when ye heard it, the believing men and believing women think good in themselves, and say, 'This is an obvious lie?' Why did they not bring four witnesses to it? but since they did not bring the witnesses, then they in God's eyes are the liars. And but for God's grace upon you, and His mercy in this world and the next, there would have touched you, for that which ye spread abroad, mighty woe. When ye reported it with your tongues, and spake with your mouths what ye had no knowledge of, and reckoned it a light thing, while in God's eyes it was grave.
And why did ye not say when ye heard it, 'It is not for us to speak of this? Celebrated be His praises, this is a mighty calumny!' God admonishes you that ye return not to the like of it ever, if ye be believers; and God manifests to you the signs, for God is knowing, wise."
(The Qur'an (E.H. Palmer tr), Sura 24 - Light)
"Shall I inform you upon whom the devils descend? they descend upon every sinful liar, and impart what they have heard; but most of them are liars."
(The Qur'an (E.H. Palmer tr), Sura 26 - The Poets)
