For the record: Awais, you lost your privileges a while back about asking me to look things for you.
* Mohammed gave permission for a follower to lie in order to kill a Jewish poet who had offended Mohammed.
Narrated Abu Hurayra: The Messenger of Allah said, "War is deception"
Muhammad said, "Who is willing to kill Ka'b bin Al-ashraf who has hurt Allah and His Apostle?" Thereupon Muhammad bin Maslama got up saying, "Ya Rasool Allah! Would you like that I kill him?" The Prophet said, "Yes," Muhammad bin Maslama said, "Then allow me to say a (false) thing (i.e. to deceive Kab)." The Prophet said, "You may say it."
He did not deny his belief in Muhammad or pretend to be other than Muslim, I don't see how your example counts in this case?
Maslama had to continue to pretend that he was a friend and family of Kaab. He had to cover the fact that he joined islam else Kaab would have been cautious.
* The koran gives permission to lie and state that it will only judge people by what is in their heart.
Cite it.
Find it. It exists in many locations in the koran.
* Aisha said that muhammad only allowed lying in 3 conditions, to protect yourself and your religion. To keep peace in the house. To mediate between Two parties.
Again, I don't see where 'taqiyyah' comes into this during
times of ease?
This command does not apply during times of ease. It applies when you are not at ease. When your wife is questioning you. When your boss is questioning you. etc.
This reminds me of the verse that said: "You are not allowed to inherit a widow except if she was witnessed committing fashisha". Literally, the verse permitted inheritance of widows right under the nose of the reader.
And for the record, most Arab muslims in the middle east, can live their entire lives and barely hear the word taqqiya uttered few times in their life. Perhaps lately they might be hearing about the doctrine of 'wala and bara', but still, muslims do not go around explicitly teaching their kids to lie. The teachings about lying are often implicit.
Goes like this:
Let's follow the koran and the example of the Prophet --> But the prophet lied and the koran permitted lying.
