re: #234 CuriousLurker

Y’know I googled it a couple of weeks ago and was hard pressed to find any definition that didn’t lead back to his work. I found a couple that were partially accurate (which is just as bad, IMO) and several that conflated the shia version of taqiyya with the much more widespread (and traditional) Sunni version.

In the end, I was unable to find ANY version that was 100% correct. At that point I spoke with an Islamic scholar to make sure my own understanding of it was well-grounded. I actually learned a couple of things from him about it (no surprise there). I’ve got about half the content for an LGF page on it prepared, so I guess I really need to get with the program and get that posted this weekend.

I will look forward to your take on this subject.

For the record, the same accusations (“Muslims lie because their religion allows them to”) have been made down through the centuries against Jews, Catholics (particularly Jesuits), and nearly every other reviled group under the sun.

Spencer makes a big deal out of Muhammad’s quote that “war is deception”.

Huh?

You can find the same statement by every general worth his salt down through the ages, from Alexander to Sherman to Patton to the Clinton War Room.

Please carry on.
