fyi Pismoe, "taqiya" is practiced by the Shia muslims, and is frowned upon by the Sunni muslims.Plus 'taqiya' or lying are muslim religious traits endorsed and taught by 'islam' .
So I suggest that you find out which group of muslims you are dealing with before you start throwing that word around. ..
wrong again----the TAQIYA issue for Shia refers to their NEED for self-preservation to DENY their shia affiliation in case they fall into the hostile hands of sunnis. That is the
NARROW view of Taqiya-----beyond that narrow issue-----the MORE BROAD issue is the 'anything good for islam" issue
