Taqiyyah: I'll have mine with lettuce and tomatoes

I find even the definition of taqiyyah as 'holy deception' an insult to civilization, religion and simple human intelligence. If you are not familiar with this tactic, it is basically a Koranic sanction to lie in order to gain domination. For a basic basic understanding, read any book by Robert Spencer, Ali Sina, Andrew Bostom, or one of the many anti-jihadist blogs, like most of Mohammad's ideas, the concept is not complex. But the meaning 'holy deception' can cause confusion so I prefer both the western pronunciation of taqiyyah as 'taco yippee' and the rational definition of the concept as falsely sanctioned deceptive speech from an inferior culture or belief system in order to gain temporary dominance over a superior system. Obviously the truth would not bring about that domination and that would not serve the interests of the 'ummah', defined as the entire Islamic community. The western pronunciation is 'Oh Mama' and defined as the whole Islamic enchilada. (Apparently all Islamic terms Westerners should learn in order to protect themselves from this cult can be found on a Mexican menu.)



Now addressing the 'holy' aspect of deception, it is asked over and over again, why would a holy, almighty God need to use deception to subdue his creation. The answer is always the same, He wouldn't. The concept itself is an insult. I would like to humorously conclude that it especially insults lovers of Latino food but taqiyyah (again 'taco yippee') becomes quite serious and detrimental to it's uneducated recipients, most of us. So there is nothing holy about the deception, it's just a necessary tool for naricists past and present.



Bin Laden would come to South America in the mid-nineties but he had reassured his host, the President Fujimori of Peru, that he would only target white interests in South America. This was the reported racial phrase Bin Laden had used and I could never understand why he would use that term. The day after 9/11 a small bomb exploded outside an American franchised restaurant in Rio Vermelho, Brazil. More than likely you have not heard of this but it was in our neighborhood. It was just a local zealot, no one was killed. Yet then I couldn't help think of six months before 9/11 when Brazil's largest off shore oil platform sunk. Of course after 9/11 I was very paranoid and began to question if any of this was related. I read a report that the cause was most likely a mechanical failure so I was wrong, wasn't I? I can't completely shake my doubts. Even now this story, the timing of the incident, the 3 explosions that ripped through the rig killing 10 workers begs the question was Bin Laden practicing taqiyyah with Fujimori? Whether or not the sinking of the rig had anything to do with Al Qaeda, I think he was.

A clearer and more well known example is when Mahmoud Ahmadinejad declared to his Islamic compatriots that Israel would be wiped off the map, his general even declared they had a implementable plan to destroy both Israel and the United States. You have to believe him as it would not be proper to lie to his fellow cultists. Yet when Ahmadinejad constantly tells the potential victims they are not building nuclear weapons, nearly everyone believes he is being true to the concept of taqiyyah.

At least as important if not more, is the day to day use of taqiyyah by regular practicing Muslims.
