Peeling Back The Layers Of Taqiyah
Who
has not heard of taqiyah? But did you know that it is onion shaped?
Taqiyah sounds and means the same as the Sanskrit word thugee from the
root sthag. They may be related. The idea behind the taqiyah is to
deceive the victim and when he is least prepared overpower him and
subdue him. This was also the philosophy of the Indian thugs.
Taqiyah
has many layers. The most common form is when Muslims deny that certain
Islamic behaviors have anything to do with Islam.
On October 27, the BBC aired a documentary
in which Mo Ansar, a Muslim activist in UK, was shown addressing a
group of English Defense League members. He wanted to meet them in order
to dispel their misunderstandings of Islam and to prove that Islam
poses no threat to their country and their way of life. How could he do
that when Islam’s goal is to become dominant over all religions and
nations? Well, he did it like any Muslim would do. He lied. (Mo’s speech
to EDL is at minute 10)
Mo
starts by saying “as somebody who was born in this country and is
British, I think I uphold British values. I am also a Muslim. Islam is
not here to take over the country. Islam is not here to take over the
world. That is not the Islam that I know. Islam that I know is one that
believes in co-existence and honors and respects British values.”
Nothing
can be further from the truth. The British and Islamic values are
diametrically opposed. They cannot co-exist. The British values are
based on democracy. Democracy implies equality. Iranian Journalist Amir
Taheri says, “Equality is unacceptable in Islam. Un-believers cannot be
equal to believers and women are not equal to men. Even the non-Muslims
are not deemed to be equal. The People of the Book (Jews and
Christians) are accepted as second class citizens and allowed to live in
an Islamic state provided they pay the protection tax; Jizyah. But the
pagans, atheists and idolaters are not regarded as fully humans.
According to the Quran, the idolaters are to be killed wherever they are
found.” (9:5)
In
the April 9, 2002 issue, The Wall Street Journal published the concept
of blood money in Saudi Arabia. If a person has been killed or caused to
die by another, the latter has to pay blood money or compensation, as
follow.
100,000 riyals if the victim is a Muslim man,
50,000 riyals if a Muslim woman,
50,000 riyals if a Christian man,
25,000 riyals if a Christian woman,
6,666 riyals if a Hindu man,
3,333 riyals if a Hindu woman.
According
to this hierarchy, a Muslim man’s life is worth 33 times that of a
Hindu woman. This hierarchy is based on the Islamic definition of human
rights and is rooted in the Quran and the Sharia. How can we talk of
democracy when the concept of equality in Islam is nonexistent?
This
is not a quirk of Saudi Arabia. The prophet of Islam advised Muslims
not to aid non-Muslims to seek justice if they are abused by a Muslim.
In his much celebrated edict of Medina, he declared, “A believer shall
not slay a believer for the sake of an unbeliever, nor shall he aid an
unbeliever against a believer.” The same document states, “Whoever is
convicted of killing a believer… the believers shall be against him as
one man, and they are bound to take action against him.”
The
Quran 3:28 prohibits Muslims to take non-Muslims as their leaders, or
even as friends. If Muslims tell the truth about their hostile
intention, they will be kicked out from the countries that they intend
to overtake. The same verse allows them to lie, “by way of precaution, that ye may guard yourselves from them.”
Co-existence?
Yes there is co-existence in Islam, but only if the non-Muslims are
reduced into dhimmis, and accept to pay tributes to Muslims while
feeling themselves humiliated and subdued. (Q. 9:29)
One characteristic of democracy is freedom of belief. This is utterly alien to Islam. The Quran 3: 85 says, “whoso desires another religion than Islam it shall not be accepted of him.” The punishment of apostasy in Islam is death. No Islamic country allows its Muslim citizens to change their religion.
Mo
also assured his audience that Islam is not here to take over the
world. He lied. People often make the mistake of comparing Islam to
Christianity and other faiths. All religions are personal. They are
about enlightenment or relationship with God. Islam is about world
domination. The focus of Islam is on expansion. A hadith narrated by
Bukhari (4: 53: 386) makes this clear. It says that when Umar sent
Muslim army to Persia, “the representative of Khosrau came out with
40,000 warriors, and an interpreter got up saying, “Let one of you talk
to me!” Al-Mughira replied, “Ask whatever you wish.” The other asked,
“Who are you?” Al-Mughira replied, “We are some people from the Arabs;
we led a hard, miserable, disastrous life. We used to suck the hides and
the date stones from hunger; we used to wear clothes made up of fur of
camels and hair of goats, and to worship trees and stones. While we were
in this state, the Lord of the Heavens and the Earths, Elevated is His
Remembrance and Majestic is His Highness, sent to us from among
ourselves a Prophet whose father and mother are known to us. Our
Prophet, the Messenger of our Lord, has ordered us to fight you till you
worship Allah Alone or give Jizya (i.e. tribute); and our Prophet has
informed us that our Lord says: “Whoever amongst us is killed (i.e.
martyred), shall go to Paradise to lead such a luxurious life as he has
never seen, and whoever amongst us remain alive, shall become your
master.”
The
order to fight till the non-Muslims worship Allah has not changed.
Muslims will not abandon their quest for domination until they succeed
or they are defeated. They have no choice in this. They are programmed
to spread Islam through deception or war. They can’t be a Muslim and not
advance their religion. The obligation to spread Islam is on every
Muslim. We have the choice. We can submit to them, or fight back and
defeat them. But how can we do that if we are not even aware that we are
under attack? Taqiyah is what Muslims do to keep us in the sedated
state.
Muhammad said al Islamo deenun va dawlah,
(Islam is religion and state). The goal of Islam is to take over the
world and establish a world caliphate. Without this goal Islam becomes
meaningless. The whole idea of jihad, which is an obligation on every
Muslim, is to expand the Islamic domain. It is also said that the bigger
jihad is the struggle against one’s self. This is a lie too. Many
scholars of Islam have refuted this as an innovation, something that was
never said by Muhammad.
Jihad
is through war, through financing the war (zakat) and through
deception. The disagreement between Muslims is not in whether the west
should become Islamic or not, but in whether it should be annexed
through qital (fighting) or through taqiyah (deceiving).
The Quran 9:33 says, Allah will cause Islam to prevail over all religions.
One does not have to read the history of Islamic conquest and
oppression of their vanquished nations throughout the last 1400 years to
know Muslims have no regards for the human rights of the non-Muslims. A
look at how the minorities are treated in Muslim majority countries in
the 21st century can make that point clear.
When
Muslims become the majority, they deny the minorities any participation
in political life. No non-Muslim is allowed to run for the head of any
Islamic country and where they are allowed to become a member of
parliament, it is only as a representative of their people. They are
like ambassadors of their co-religionists in the Islamic state. They
have no role in how the country should be run, but only as a liaison
between the state and their co-religionists who are regarded as second
class citizens.
Some
of the EDL members expressed their concerns about their daughters who
had to married to Muslims and brainwash to cut their ties with their
family. Mo Ansar responded with more lies. He said, “If there are girls
who have converted to Islam and are told you cannot meet your family; if
that happens, I’d say now clearly, that it is not allowed in Islam.”
Mo
should know that Muhammad ordered his daughter Zeinab to leave her
unbelieving husband Abul As, until he was forced to convert and remarry
her. He told his followers to cut their ties with their families and to
emigrate from Mecca. He even said “if they turn back then take them and kill them wherever you find them.”(4:89).
Everything
Mo said in that meeting was a lie. Of course he is not an ignorant
Muslim. He just considered that in that gathering lying was more
beneficial that telling the truth and that too is acceptable in Islam.
Muslims
are permitted to lie even under oath to promote Islam and when the
necessity justifies it. All they have to do for expiation of lying under
oath is to feed someone or fast for three days (Q. 5:89). The Quran
also says, “Allah will not call you to account for thoughtlessness (vain) in your oaths, but for the intention in your hearts; and He is Oft-forgiving, Most Forbearing” (Q. 2:225). So if the intent is to advance Islam all lies are permissible.
Imam
Ghazzali (1058-1111), arguably the greatest Islamic scholar noted,
“Speaking is a means to achieve objectives. If praise worthy aim is
attainable through both telling the truth and lying, it is unlawful to
accomplish through lying because there is no need for it. When it is
possible to achieve such an aim by lying but not by telling the truth,
it is permissible to lie if attaining the goal is permissible.”
Mo’s
deception had no bounds. He even went as far as saying “I have been
fighting for gay rights for 15 years. Many people are surprised by
that.” If it were true, it would be very surprising. But it is not true.
In at least five places the Quran condemns homosexuality in the
severest term and in 4:16, it says, punish them both, unless they repent
and amend.
Mo’s
audience however, was not fooled. One person noted, “He is just
pandering to the audience, saying things he thinks the audience likes to
hear. He thinks we are all dimwits.”
Was
Mo Ansar really sincere? In the same documentary, (minutes 25) when
Tommy Robinson said, there are certain verses in the Quran that glorify
murder, rape and slavery and suggested that these verses should be
phased out, Mo blamed the lack of understanding of the Quran and not the
Quran itself. How can “slay the unbelievers wherever you find them, let
them find harshness in you,” or beat your wife if you fear she is
thinking of disobeying you” can be interpreted in any other way? The
Quran is a book of hate and violence. Mo knows it, but he hides the
truth.
Mo’s
insincerity was put to the litmus test by a fellow Muslim, Maajid
Nawaaz, who asked him whether he agreed with the Quranic law of chopping
the limbs of a thief and other barbaric laws such as stoning. Mo first
tried to play taqiyah and said he wouldn’t, but when pressed, he began
stuttering and tried to evade the answer by saying he would seek the
consensus of the ulama. It became clear that he was lying all along. He
would not go against any of the teachings of the Quran, even when they
are all barbaric and inhumane.
What
about Maajid Nawaaz? He had no problem saying some of the teachings of
the Quran are morally reprehensible. This is quite a statement for a
Muslim. Is he sincere? Maajid is the chairman of Quilliam Foundation, a
self-styled organization that claims to counter Islamic extremism.
He
was a recruiter of Hizbul Tahrir, a terrorist organization, and an
advocate for Islamic caliphate for 13 years. He says that he was
reformed while serving a five years jail sentence in Egypt for his
political activities. Now he claims that he rejects extremism and is a
moderate Muslim.
Taqiyah
is like an onion. One layer hides another layer, which hides yet
another layer and so on and so forth. There is nothing surprising for a
Muslim to realize Islam is not compatible with our time and leave it. I
made the transition myself and have helped thousands to do it. However,
those who come to see the truth, leave Islam. They don’t go around
promoting a moderate version of Islam. There is no such thing. You
either accept the inhuman and backward teachings of Islam or you don’t
accept Islam at all.
Maajid
claims to be a Muslim who rejects the Sharia. He is not alone. There
are a few more in Canada and USA who make such claim. Among them are,
Tarik Fatah, Irshad Manji, Zuhdi Yaser, just to name a few. Can these
people be trusted? Can a Muslim reject any part of the Quran?
We
have to understand that there is a big difference between Islam and
Christianity or Judaism. Muslims believe that the Quran is the verbatim
word of God. Jews and Christians believe their sacred texts were written
by humans who were inspired by God. This is a crucial distinction. So
while a Jew or a Christian can reject an outdated part of his scripture
as the error of its authors, a Muslim does not have that luxury.
Muslims can’t pick and choose. Allah in the Quran asserts, “Today
have I perfected your religious law for you, and have bestowed upon you
the full measure of My blessings, and willed that self-surrender unto
Me shall be your religion.” (Q.5:3). How can one add or subtract to what God has perfected? That idea is preposterous to Muslims.
Another verse says, “Do
you, then, believe in some parts of the divine writ and deny the truth
of other parts? What, then, could be the reward of those among you who
do such things but ignominy in the life of this world and, on the Day of
Resurrection? They will be consigned to most grievous suffering. For
God is not unmindful of what you do.” (Q.2:85)
It
is unlikely that Maajid and his fellow so called moderate Muslims don’t
know this. So how can they call themselves Muslim and reject the clear
laws of the Quran? They are playing another layer of taqiyah. Their goal
is not to reform Islam, something they know is impossible, but to buy
legitimacy and more time for it until they become the majority and take
over the world. I sounded the clarion about the danger of Islam 16 years
ago, and now I warn you again that these so called moderates are wolves
in sheep clothing. Don’t fear the terrorists. Fear the enemy within.
Muslims
are allowed to reject part or all of Islam and even malign their
prophet in order to deceive their victims. Bukhari 5:59: 369 narrates
that in Medina there was a young handsome man, a leader of the Jewish
tribe of Bani Nadir, by the name of Ka’b ibn Ashraf. After Muhammad
banished their sister tribe of Bani Qainuqa from the city, Ka’b went to
Mecca seeking protection from the Quraish. When Muhammad heard the news
he went on his pulpit and 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, “O Allah’s Apostle! 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.” Then Muhammad bin Maslama went to Kab and said, “That man
(i.e. Muhammad) demands alms from us, and he has troubled us, and I have
come to borrow something from you.”
The
story goes on to say how ibn Maslama deceived Ka’b by badmouthing his
prophet and when Ka’b trusted him, he and other Muslims, among them
Ka’b’s own foster brother who had converted to Islam stabbed him to
death. By denouncing the Quran, Maajid is not doing anything unIslamic.
He is taking his deception to a higher level.
The
deception has paid off handsomely. Instead of serving time in jail
Maajid now shakes hands with George W. Bush and Tony Blair, appears in
Bill Maher show and sits next to Richard Dawkins, is a chairman of a
foundation, and has run for MP in UK. He is far more effective in
destroying the western civilization from within, through taqiyah, than
by placing bombs in buildings and buses.
Could
I be mistaken? Have I come to a hasty conclusion? I invite Maajid
Nawaaz to show my error and prove to the world that he is not deceiving
them. Maybe I too will join his Quilliam organization and support his
efforts. If he is sincere, he will accept this invitation. But based on
my experience with “moderate Muslims,” I have a feeling that Maajid’s
reply will be a deafening silence.
There
is no such thing as moderate Islam. This is the ultimate taqiyah. This
trap is deadly. It may cost your liberty and your life. Moderate Islam
is an oxymoron. It is as attainable as perfumed dung; although I may be
wrong about the latter.
