re: #23 yma o hyd

Thing is - Western diplomats, any Western colonial power really, have never ever grasped the concept of taqqiya.
Thus they will keep on believing what any Arab head of governmet/diplomat tells them.

It seems they never compare all those flowery Arab phrases with the reality on the ground, or even with their own experience.

Israelis of course know better.

Taqqiya…that’s the right to lie about yourself and others in the advancement of Islam right? Do any other religions or cultures have that?
