The principle of Al-Takeyya The Arabic word, "Takeyya", means "to prevent," or guard against. The principle of Al Takeyya conveys the understanding that Muslims are permitted to lie as a preventive measure against anticipated harm to one's self or fellow Muslims. This principle gives Muslims the liberty to lie under circumstances that they perceive as life threatening. 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 (prevention), that ye may Guard yourselves from them (prevent them from harming you.) But Allah cautions you (To remember) Himself; for the final goal is to Allah." Surah 3: 28
According to this verse a Muslim can pretend to befriend infidels (in violation of the teachings of Islam) and display adherence with their unbelief to prevent them from harming him.
Under the concept of Takeyya and short of killing another human being, if under the threat of force, it is legitimate for Muslims to act contrary to their faith. The following actions are acceptable:
Drink wine, abandon prayers, and skip fasting during Ramadan. Renounce belief in Allah. Kneel in homage to a deity other than Allah. Utter insincere oaths.
Do you have a definition for "religion" that includes Judaism and Christianity yet excludes Islam.
Sounds to me what we do in America do, or supported during the days of Nazi Germany in hiding the whereabouts of Jews such as Anne Frank.
Thank you.
Btw, here are some article that contains numerous links that shed light on CAIR and it's background (support for terrorism):
This is why all the "appologies" and condemnations from various PR groups like CAIR are 100% meaningless.
Thanks for the links, they will make interesting reading.

antivenom: It is not a religionPerhaps I would start with something that does not incorporate a political system (sharia) and whose founder did not set examples for mass murder and genocide to be used to achieve the ultimate goal of capturing land (Darul Harb vs Darul Islam)...MosesKnows: Do you have a definition for "religion" that includes Judaism and Christianity yet excludes Islam.
You're welcome. ;o)
Actually it should be wiped from Earth
Nothing short of that will be sufficient
Who would expect Mohammad to condemn liars? as doing so would surely condemn himself.

Yup. I'm squarely with antivenom on this one.
bump to the library.
No only can lie...it's their sacred duty to do so to further
the conquest..

How to understand CAIR's function in the Islamic attempt to conquer America and the western world..
600+ laws ontop of God's. Who blows up abortion clinics?
By the definition of RELIGION itself it's fact...Man trying to justify himself to God.
Don't even think you're going to make a case for any religion that doesn't try to justify what it does, and the extremist are in ALL religions!
Just note that "justification" does not have to equal fanaticism.
You could, but then you would be wrong.
