  1. Yes, but if it DID happen,it would have been terrible!
    And we’d all sympathize with him and go,”tsk,tsk”.
    Lying s.o.b.

  2. Yes I have a question. I thought it was called Taqqiya, with an extra syllable. Does anyone who can understand Arabic provide more information about how it should be pronounced?

  3. I had no idea that Islamaphobia was so entrenched in our legal process. I hope he gets the support and understanding from all the progressives that will be picketing the station until he is properly compensated. (I may have thrown up a little while typing that.)

  4. My understanding is that it’s pronounced like “tacky-yah”
    Regarding the concept of Taqiyya, it’s an Islamic term referring to precautionary dissimulation or denial of religious belief … “Taqiyya is an Islamic juridical term whose shifting meaning relates to when a Muslim is allowed, under Sharia law, to lie. …. to restrict it to dealing with non-Muslims and when under compulsion (ikrāh), …”
    I don’t know if Hebrew teachings embrace that concept, however Im reasonably sure that ‘lying to non-believers if it serves God’ is NOT a Christian belief. However, what he did makes perfect sense for a Muslim.
    Pandering to those who swear to conquer us does not make them our friends; it only encourages their disrespect and disdain.

  5. Round em all up, President Trump. Finally … Americans in charge of the American government ! Instead of Federal interference … it Federal support for protecting the homeland from the REAL Terrorists … not the imaginary “right wing” Terrorists.

  6. taqqia – Taqqiya
    Same number of syllables – same pronunciation. An Arab would spell it in chicken scratching and typically would not be an expert in English spelling.

  7. ‘lying to non-believers if it serves God’ is NOT a Christian belief
    Romans 3:7-8
    7 But if the truth of God through my lie abounded unto his glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner?
    8 and why not, Let us do evil, that good may come? whose condemnation is just.
    Philippians 1:15-18
    15 It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill.
    16 The latter do so in love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel.
    17 The former preach Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing that they can stir up trouble for me while I am in chains.
    18 But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice.
