"Muhammed has taught us that deceit is commendable when used to advance Islam"
bullshit and lie
nice try though
The principle of Al-Takeyya
The Arabic word, Takeyya--, means, to guard against.-- The principle of Al Takeyya conveys the understanding that Muslims are permitted to lie as a preventive measure against anticipated harm to ones self or fellow Muslims. They can even deny the faith, if they do not mean it in their hearts. Al-Takeyya is based on the following Quranic verse:
Let not the believers Take for friends or helpers Unbelievers rather than believers: if any do that, in nothing will there be help from Allah: except by way of precaution, that ye may Guard yourselves from them. But Allah cautions you (To remember) Himself; for the final goal is to Allah.-- Surah 3: 28
According to this verse it is acceptable for Muslims to use deceptive tactics. In violation to the teachings of Islam, they can pretend to befriend infidels. In situations where real or imagined harm is perceived they are permitted to display adherence with the ideals of those considered as infidels.
It is important to understand that Muslims take great liberty in expanding the perimeters of circumstances under which they are permitted to lie and to use deceptive tactics. When dealing with Muslim leaders it is essential to keep in mind that they can say or do anything that will get them out of trouble. All the while, they are apt to have just the opposite agenda in their hearts. With this in mind, in matters pertaining to war and international politics, there is a question that we need to ask ourselves. Can Muslim countries be trusted to play it fair and keep their end of the agreements that they sign with non-Muslim nations?
It is imperative that our leaders not be nave. They must understand that Muslims can use this loophole in their religion to absolve them from any accountability when they revert to deceptive tactics. They can unashamedly do so, as they adhere to Mohammed, the prophet of Islam, who was quoted as saying War is a deception.-- The Allah of Islam is described in the Quran as the best of deceivers.-- Surah 8:30.
Come on Tosser, just google "Muhammed" and "lying," and you'll find numerous references to Muhammed approving of lying. Hey wait, it's permissible when used to advance an Islamic cause. got it.
By the way, that's an interesting article that you linked on Obama and Pakistanis. A letter said much, noting that Obama's views are alien to American cultural values. Interesting perspective.
