    SNB quoting all the links you have does not prove that terrorism is the only scholarly approach towards Jihad, I would agree with you that there is violence present in Islamic texts but that does not mean all Muslims are just trying to lie to all non-muslims to cover up the bad aspects, there are Muslims who do truly believe in a nice, gentle version of Islam and would happily quote texts to support them, that is their own intepretation of the religion. I see your point that you believe they all recognise the bad aspects of Islam and are just trying to sugar-coat it all, some may be doing so but its completely subjective to that individual. There are Islamic scholars who debate the concept of offensive Jihad and its application so you can quote all the links you like would not prove that is the single unequivocal interpretation of the text.

    Taqiyya is a concept that is not widely known amongst Muslims (at least it wasn't untill all the bigots started ranting about it.) In all my years I only heard it used a few times, (and that was in reference to Shi'a Muslims.)


    On a somewhat unrelated point I wanted to clarify to my ex-Shia Muslim friends here that the above comment was in no-way implying that the practice is widespread amongst the Shi'a community or that the Shi'a are devious etc...

    When I was a Muslim I was always strongly against sectarian pigeonholing and always described myself as just "Muslim". Also as a teacher at a school where we had 25% Shi'a children I was always trying hard to build unity between Shi'a and Sunni. (On a personal note the Shi'a children - mainly the children of professionals who had fled Iraq in the 90s - were a true delight to teach.)

    I just didn't want anyone to misunderstand what I said in the quote above lol Smiley

    Yeah I'm ex-Shia and have never heard of Taqiyya. I really haven't.

    @Hassan, since you have taught in an Islamic school and seem to have been active in the London Muslim community I wanted to ask you about Ahlul-Bayt. What do you know about them? are they a large organization? is their centre large?
    I personally know a few Shia Iraqi families in London who send their children to this centre during the weekends.
    Also, are there any extremist/radical Shia organizations based in the UK?

    That name doesn't ring a bell (apart from it's obvious general meaning of the family of the prophet).

    There were several Shia organistations (I think based on the ethnic communities i.e. Iranian, Iraqi etc...) in my area of London (North West) but I didn't really know much about them - apart from the al-Khoei Foundation that ran As-Sadiq and az-Zahra school right opposite Islamia School. In fact I knew the young Imam al-Khoei and his brother - Yusuf al-Khoei - both were frequent visitors to Islamia school as they were friends with Yusuf Islam. (Imam al-Khoei was sadly killed when he went back after the invasion.)

    The Khoei foundation is large and has two big secondary schools as well as a primary school and a big mosque (that used to be a synagogue) and various other buildings in the area - they seem to be quite wealthy and beat Yusuf Islam to the purchase of the building for their school. Yusuf went for the slightly cheaper building over the road.

    It probably is for Skynightblaze - it sounds like he has looked into Islam and heard all the arguments.  The only thing that will change his mind now are the sincere arguements he makes to himself now, not ones that we put to him. 

    However this might not be the case for other wavering muslims who have not heard IA's arguments before and come to whatever conclusions they do.   Its happened like this before, on this very site so I wouldnt be surprised if it happened again.  And that is what I believe makes it worth it if he can be bothered..

    Osmanthus , are you really so desperate to claim victory? At the max my source would reduce by 1 . I quoted Islam watch who had a different writer and now I quoted.Ali Sina. Anyway your wish will be fulfilled. I have planned something for you  .Here are some additional  sites telling us what Taqiyya is all about .Watch it coming?

    This site  below supports the definition I quoted of Taqiyya which can be found on Wikipedia also.

    Nadir Ahmed Debated Sam shamoun and he was accused of playing Taqiyya. Does it not mean lying for the sake of islam?  Are all these sites lying?

    Out of all those sites you linked to only al-islam.org has any credibility on this issue. Furthermore it only applies to Shia Islam, which I believe has been mentioned before several times.

    Anyway as I have stated before you still have not shown anywhere that site specifically says it is halal to lie about Islam itself. It says that you can lie about being a Muslim (not the same thing) if in danger, or you can lie for the sake of politeness, but that's about it.  parrot

    Quote from: skynightblaze
    Excuse me,  you are not even keeping track of what I am saying. WE were talking about islam sponsoring terrorism. I asked you how many muslims would accept that islam sponsors terrorism. You said they have a different interpretation  and hence I asked  you whether  a different interpretation  really exists. AS far as islam sponsoring terrorism is concerned none can deny that it does.Lets see the original source i.e quran which is accepted by all muslims:

    [009:029]hem
      Fight those who believe not in God nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by God and His Apostle, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued

    The typical excuse given by muslims here is that this verse is asking us to fight those who attacked Muhhamad i.e in self defense . IS that the case? Does it sound like self defense? The verse clearly asks you to fight until people accept islam.You are not required to do any of these in case of self defense. So please explain us how a different interpretation of this verse exists

    You are missing my point. I asked you if you consider a Catholic who supports gay marriage a "Catholic in the real sense" and you didn't answer the question.
    You make a big fallacy by asserting that
    1-Every Muslim who doesn't admit that Islam sponsors terrorism is either a)practicing Taqqiya or b)not a Muslim in the real sense.
    2-We should be cautious and doubtful when we meet any Muslim because the majority of them pratice Taqqiya.

    So how would you deal with a self-identified Muslim women who doesn't wear Hijab and has gay friends? will you think she's practicing Taqqiya or she's not a "Muslim in the real sense"? will you still not trust her?

    My point is you just admitted some Muslims are not Muslim in the real sense (your own words). Why then say most Muslims practice Taqiyya and we should be cautious when dealing with them?

    Quote from: SNB
    How many times are we supposed to accept the excuse  "errorneous beliefs"? I explain them once,twice,thrice and on and on but they still maintain their claims and tell kafirs that they are right and kafirs are wrong. Its nothing but lying! You tell people something other than the truth even when you are shown convincing proofs repeatedly  then you are lying .Period! As I say we kafirs would not always be kind to keep tolerating nonsense from muslims. WE use a simple word for such people i.e ?Liars?.

    FFS, don't be so dense. It's not lying. It's called being deluded and narrow-minded. That's what my dad is. He's not lying to protect Islam. It's rejecting logical arguments to protect yourself and your beliefs. My dad does it all the time when I nag him. Doesn't mean he's practicing Taqiyya.

    Quote from: SNB
    You are not keeping a track of the discussion .I said you have soft spot for muslims and not islam.

    I do ? really? how long have you known me for?

    Quote from: SNB
    How many muslims do you know honestly confess  in a debate that they are wrong and quran is a lie? Its not a rocket science

    Very few Muslim admit they're wrong. It's not unique to Muslims tough. All people do it whether the discussion has to do with religion or anything else. Christians do it when debating evolution.


    It's not about lying, lying means you know their intentions. They might honestly think that terrorists are in the wrong. And cherry pick the Meccan verses and early Madinan verses. Or just feel morally repulsed by violent actions. Or think the Madinan verses are used for that historical context, without further knowledge about that they really mean. They could just skim past them. I know I thought like this.

    You don't need to tell us that cherry picking the Quran can indeed promote terrorism. But calling regular muslims who refuse to see Osama as a good muslim liars is simply incorrect. That's where I disagree with you. I'm sure there are liars. I'm sure some subvert Islam. Majority? Unlikely. Most of us come from a muslim background, born and raised muslims. Sure you might hear people referring to non muslims as kuffar, but for me this was not a majority and its a fucking disgusting word, I never used it, my parents never taught me it. So how in the fuck are you calling the muslims I know and grew up with for liars?

    Your ideas are a variant of the Zionist/Jooish conspiracy. It's silly.

    I repeatedly convince a muslim that islam  promotes terrorism but he refuses and still claims that islam is a religion of peace. Is he telling the truth? You are giving me the justifications here as to why they do it but does it change the fact that they are lying? It doesnt. Now why  they lie is what you are telling me . The final result as we see  is muslims lie to defend their religion. Btw I see that you are getting an impression that I am saying that majority of muslims support terrorism. My claim is they lie to defend integrity of islam. Thats why I say they play Taqiyya.They may do this to convince themselves or find themselves as peace but they do lie. Game over they play Taqiyya with the kufar!

    I just checked the dictionary. Lying: to deliberately say something untrue in a conscious effort to deceive somebody.
    So according to that definition you're wrong. They are like osmanthus said bullshitting. Not consciously and deliberately lying.

    Quote from: SNB
    I have repeated myself . Definition of Taqiyya also includes lying for the sake of islam. Read my post addressed to yourself as well as Osmanthus.

    What if a Muslim is actually lying (i.e.  just won't admit he's wrong despite being shown the evidence) for the sake of themselves and their personal peace of mind and not "to protect Islam", are they practicing Taqiyya?

    Quote from: Q-Man
    Charles, why would a specific doctrine of taqiyya need to exist in order for Muslims to engage in apologism or dishonest defense of/presentation of their religion?

    Exactly. Christians don't have Taqiyya yet they do it by definition.

    Quote from: Iblis
    I wonder why people like CharlesMartel or SNB would discredit themselves in employing such hate-based nonsense when there are plenty of very ethically acceptable ways of debunking Islam.

    Because this is the ONLY way that implicates ALL Muslims in terrorism. By Charles' and SNB's reasoning, even Muslims who are publicly against terrorism know that Islam supports terrorism and yet stay Muslim. Therefore, they are not really against terrorism.

    Quote from: charlesmartel
    It doesn't need to, at all. As per my understanding, Taqiyya is simply what others call dishonesty or lying. What makes it worse is the so called divine sanction and prophetic examples for the Muslims to follow, and that they can indulge in it with respect to kuffar without any remorse or pangs of conscience.

    Let's a suppose a Muslim, who hasn't heard of Taqiyya, was lying and being dishonest in order to "protect himself from mental injury". Is he practicing Tqiyya or is he just lying and being dishonest? more importantly, is it fair and accurate to say that he is practicing Taqiyya when he hasn't heard of it in the first place?

    I would say that the reaction of muslims who still continue to defend islam even after being shown the truth is not down to taqqiya, not for most of them though, with some, yeah of course.  You get manipulative liars in all shapes and sizes.  For the rest though, they do not want to believe, they block you out by seeing you as the liar or they search for a scholar who has found a twisted way to refute the arguement you are using, so that they have something to help them ignore you.

    It's not malicious lying to you, it's sad and pitiful lying to themselves.

    Would I be correct in saying that they (referred to in the bold) deceive/delude themselves?

    That's my whole point Charles. The point that I've been trying to get SNB to understand.
    When Muslims are challenged and presented with irrefutable evidence they delude/deceive themselves. They* don't necessarily practice Taqiyya. Most of them don't even know what Taqiyya is.


    *Most of them. There are ones who do practice Taqiyya bu the majority don't.

    There are two reasons why your analogy is fallacious:

    1-The act of fucking a prepubescent girl in itself constitutes paedophilia. The act of lying and being dishonest per se doesn't constitute Taqiyya. The lying and dishonesty has to be carried out by a Muslim individual for the very specific reasons that you yourself mentioned.

    2-In the case pf Taqiyya there is a specific doctrine/religious teaching that encourages Muslims to practice it. It also excuses them from the sin of lying and dishonesty in this specific case.
    So if the Jedi god told Jedis that there is a concept called Fuckiyya which encourages Jedis to fuck prepubescent girls (also telling them that their sin will be excused), only then will your analogy be valid.
    Now let's suppose a Jedi fucked a prepubescent girl after Fuckiyya was revealed. If he knows about Fuckiyya then he's practicing it. If he has never heard of it, then he didn't commit Fuckiyya; he just committed paedophilia as far as I'm concerned.
    Likewise, if a Muslim is lying and being dishonest when challenged about Islam that doesn't automatically means he's practicing Taqiyya. He has to have heard about it and has to know that Allah excused him from the sin of his lying and dishonesty. If he hasn't heard of Taqiyya then he's simply lying and being dishonest.

    The Taqiya issue is false and dead.

    First:

    Give me a detailed account of what Taqiya means and how its a concept of its own, like praying is or Jihad is.

    1. Please provide with Quranic revelations proving this concept exists and the meaning of the word. The word should be in the Quran

    2. I want shahih hadiths proving it

    3. I want tafsirs by reputable scholars discussing it

    4. I want to see the word from the sira and explained

    5. I want muslims scholars of past and of today discussing it

    6. I want details on how its carried out. Islam is anal in details, its a OCD religion par excellence. There will be rules for Taqiya I want them detailed, and evidence of this detail in the above mentioned sources.

    7. I want the explanation of this word and the etymology. I want it for the modern use of this word and 7th century use.

    If you cant provide with any of this please end the discussion because you are not bringing any evidence. Therefore any time you mention this subject in the manner that you do I will call you out as fraudulent, lying, deceitful bigots.

    Skynightblaze, could you please respond again once you understand Taqiyyah.

    If you ask Sunni Muslims, the vast majority of them would not know what it is. It is not a Sunni Muslim concept, it is a Shia concept. And even then, the whole point of taqiyya is to conceal faith when under threat. The purpose of Taqiyyah is not to conceal your faith in a covert bid to deceive people about Islam in a bid for world domination.

    So to say that Muslims are using Taqiyyah in an effort to take control of the west is farcical.

    By the way, I have also heard a Sunni Muslim saying that Shias are using Taqiyyah in the same way that your lot say that Muslims use Taqiyyah; i.e. a sinister bid to deceive in order to promote their religious agenda. This leads me to conclude that an accusation of Taqiyyah is a useful tool to use in order to attack your opponent



    Exactly, buy why didnt any of the ex-Muslims ever correct Ali Sina about this on FFI? There were plenty of ex-muslims on FFI when I was there and many claimed to have knowledge of Islam but no one thought about challenging Sina when he started on about this taqqiyah nonsense?

    instead they supported him.
