Keith Ellison's Taqiyya
The American Thinker Blog ^ | March 13, 2011 | Andrew G. Bostom

Matthew Shaffer of NRO (as noted here by Ethel Fenig) exposed Keith Ellison's mendacious taqiyya (Koran-sanctioned Islamic dissimulation) theater during the Congressman's testimony at Thursday's Homeland Security Hearings on American Muslim radicalization.

The next day, during a 3/11/11 interview with Bill Maher (on "Real Time With Bill Maher"), responding to Maher's complaint that, "[Islam] comes from a hate-filled holy book, the Koran, which is taken very literally by its people," Ellison invoked a deceitfully redacted extract of Koran 5:32, and the ostensible Koranic paean to "tolerance," verse 2:256.

Ellison's disingenuous response was predictable.

Following the murderous acts of jihad terrorism committed on September 11, 2001, Ibn Warraq highlighted the tragic irony of many apologists quoting selectively from Koran 5:32, "whoso slays a soul ...shall be as if he had slain mankind altogether; and whoso gives life to a soul, shall be as if he has given life to mankind altogether", attempting to demonstrate that the Koran disapproved of violence and killing. Here is the entire verse (5:32), quoted in full context, with the intimately related verse, Koran 5:33:

Taqiya....This feature of Islam is the main attractant fro the Left as it legitimizes their habitual distortion and lying.

Sure they know. . maybe. ..perhaps: but might be a good idea to share this with King and those involved in Hearings. Ane let the record of truth be set straight and honestly.

And it is THE reason why I objected to any elected official being sworn in to an elected office using it as their religious and moral source.

Michael Medved is an idiot for saying it is no different than putting your hand on the Bible.

We use the Bible because it states everywhere NOT to lie. Ever.

Keith Ellison was sworn in using a textbook that specifically teaches its adherents TO LIE if it promotes the TYRANNICAL goal of SHARIA LAW OVER ALL THE WORLD.

Never trust a communist.
Never trust an Islamofascist.

After listening to Michael Medved, I came to the conclusion that he is an idiot, Period.

Back in 620 or so Muhammad ibn ‘Abdullah declared the first given half of the koran - includes 5:32 - invalid, and the second given half as the only words of allah to be followed. The first given half is referred to as the peaceful koran, the second given half as the jihad koran.

Which is why all of Ellison's remarks are taqiyya. As are all claims by anyone that islam needs to be reformed - something specifically forbidden by Muhammad ibn ‘Abdullah.

And their blatant, overt attempts to impose sharia law in the U.S.
