This will help you understand Obama as he was raised by a Moslem
stepfather in a Moslem country during his formative years and returned to the
USA as
a Moslem foreign student from Indonesia to attend school here on various
government grants to foreign students. Truth to him is not valued as it is
in Christian/Judeo culture so this email will help you understand the man
today who is our first affirmative action Moslem raised President in US
history.

Lying in Islam

Like most religions, Islam in general, forbids lying. The Quran says, “
Truly Allah guides not one who transgresses and lies.” Surah 40:28. In the
Hadith, Mohammed was also quoted as saying, “Be honest because honesty leads
to goodness, and goodness leads to Paradise. Beware of falsehood because it
leads to immorality, and immorality leads to Hell.”
However, unlike most religions, within Islam there are certain provisions
under which lying is not simply tolerated, but actually encouraged. The
book “The spirit of Islam,” by the Muslim scholar, Afif A. Tabbarah was
written to promote Islam. On page 247, Tabbarah stated: “Lying is not always
bad, to be sure; there are times when telling a lie is more profitable and
better for the general welfare, and for the settlement of conciliation among
people, than telling the truth. To this effect, the Prophet says: ‘He is not
a false person who (through lies) settles conciliation among people,
supports good or says what is good.”
In exploring this puzzling duplicity within Islam, we will examine first
some examples from recent and ancient Islamic history. These examples
demonstrate that lying is a common policy amongst Islamic clerics and
statesmen.
In June of 1967 Egypt was defeated by Israel and lost the Sinai Peninsula
during the “Six Day War.” Subsequently, Egypt’s primary focus became to
regain the lost territory. President Nasser, and then, President Sadat,
adopted the motto: “No voice should rise over the voice of The Battle.” The
soldiers that had been drafted in 1967 were kept in service and remained on
high alert in the expectation that at any day “the battle” would ensue.
Nonetheless, years pasted and Egypt’s people became disgruntle with the
political hype and the “no peace, and no war” status. In 1972 Sadat proclaimed
with finality that it was to be the year for the long anticipated battle.
Throughout the year he swore, “I swear to you by my honor that this year will
not pass by, before we launch The Battle.” People believed him because he
was staking his reputation and honor through an oath. To everyone’s
amazement the year passed without a single shot being fired. As a result many,
inside and outside Egypt, began to dismiss him as a “hot air bluff”. This
opinion was confirmed in the following year of 1973. He made no further
mention of his oath about the battle. Many of the draftees were released and
numerous officers were given vacation furloughs. Then without warning, in
October of 1973, he launched the attack and what was known as the Yom Kippur
war
began.
As a military commander, Sadat was expected to use the element of surprise
to trick the enemy. As a devout Muslim, Sadat was not the least bit
concerned about his un-kept oath. He understood that the history and teachings
of
Islam would exempt him from spiritual accountability if he used lies as a
foundation for a strategic military maneuver.
This point is proven by many incidences in the life of Mohammed. He often
lied and instructed his followers to do the same. He rationalized that the
prospect of success in missions to extend Islam’s influence overrode Allah’
s initial prohibitions against lying. A good example of sanctioned lying
is the account of the assassination of Kaab Ibn al-Ashrf, a member of the
Jewish tribe, Banu al-Nudair. It had been reported that Kaab had shown
support for the Quraishites in their battle against Mohammed. This was
compounded
by another report that infuriated Mohammed. It was alleged that Kaab had
recited amorous poetry to Muslim women. Mohammed asked for volunteers to rid
him of Kaab Ibn al-Ashraf. As Mohammed put it, Kaab had “Harmed Allah and
His Apostle.” At that time Kaab Ibn al-Ashraf, and his tribe were strong,
so it was not easy for a stranger to infiltrate and execute the task. A
Muslim man by the name of Ibn Muslima, volunteered for the murderous project
on
the condition that Mohammed would allow him to lie. With Mohammed’s
consent, Ibn Muslima, went to Kaab and told him fabricated stories that
reflected
discontent about Mohammed’s leadership. When he had gained Kaab’s trust
he lured him away from his house one night and murdered him in a remote area
under the cover of darkness.
(http://nocompulsion.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/liiiersss.jpg) A
similar example can be found in the story of killing Shaaban Ibn Khalid
al-Hazly. It was rumored that Shaaban was gathering an army to wage war on
Mohammed. Mohammed retaliated by ordering Abdullah Ibn Anis to kill Shaaban.
Again,
the would-be killer asked the prophet’s permission to lie. Mohammed agreed
and then ordered the killer to lie by stating that he was a member of the
Khazaa clan. When Shaaban saw Abdullah coming, he asked him, “From what
tribe are you?” Abdullah answered, “From Khazaa.” He then added, “I have
heard that you are gathering an army to fight Mohammed and I came to join you.”
Abdullah started walking with Shaaban telling him how Mohammed came to
them with the heretical teachings of Islam, and complained how Mohammed
badmouthed the Arab patriarchs and ruined the Arab’s hopes. They continued in
conversation until they arrived at Shaaban’s tent. Shaaban’s companions
departed and Shaaban invited Abdullah to come inside and rest. Abdullah sat
there until the atmosphere was quiet and he sensed that everyone was asleep.
Abdullah severed Shaaban’s head and carried it to Mohammed as a trophy. When
Mohammed sighted Abdullah, he jubilantly shouted, “Your face has been
triumphant (Aflaha al- wajho).” Abdullah returned the greeting by saying, “It
is your face, Apostle of Allah, who has been triumphant. (Aflaha wajhoka,
ye rasoul Allah).”
Provisions for lying in Islam
Most Muslims are familiar with the principles of Islam that will justify
lying in situations where they sense the need to do so. Among these are:
· War is deception.
· The necessities justify the forbidden.
· If faced by two evils, choose the lesser of the two.
These principles are derived from passages found in the Quran and the
Hadith.
In the Quran, Allah, allegedly, says:
” Allah will not call you to account for what is futile in your oaths,
but He will call you to account for your deliberate oaths: for expiation,
feed ten indigent persons, on a scale of the average for the food of your
families; or clothe them; or give a slave his freedom. If that is beyond your
means, fast for three days. That is the expiation for the oaths ye have
sworn. But keep to your oaths. Thus doth Allah make clear to you His signs,
that ye may be grateful.” Surah 5:89
“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.” Surah 2:225
“Any one who, after accepting faith in Allah, utters Unbelief, except
under compulsion, his heart remaining firm in Faith – but such as open their
breast to Unbelief, on them is Wrath from Allah, and theirs will be a
dreadful Penalty.” Surah 16: 106
The noted Islamic commentator, Al-Tabary explained Surah 16:106 as a verse
that had been revealed to Mohammed after he learned that Ammar Ibn Yasser
was forced to deny his faith in Mohammed when kidnapped by the Banu Moghera
tribe. Mohammed consoled Ammar by telling him, “If they turned, you turn.”
(Meaning: if they again capture you, you are allowed to deny me again.)
These and similar passages from the Quran clearly reveal that Muslims’
unintentional lies are forgivable and that even their intentional lies can be
absolved by performing extra duties. It is also clear that if forced to do
so, Muslims can lie while under oath and can even falsely deny faith in
Allah, as long as they maintain the profession of faith in their hearts.
In the Hadith, Mohammed, emphasizes the same concept.
>From “Ehiaa Oloum al-Din,” by the famous Islamic scholar al-Ghazali, Vol.
3: PP.284-287:
One of Mohammed’s daughters, Umm Kalthoum, testified that she had never
heard the Apostle of Allah condone lying, except in these three situations:
1. For reconciliation among people.
2. In war.
3. Amongst spouses, to keep peace in the family.
One passage from the Hadith quotes Mohammed as saying: “The sons of Adam
are accountable for all lies except those uttered to help bring
reconciliation between Muslims.”
Another says, “Aba Kahl, reconcile among people.”(Meaning: even through
lying.)
The following quote demonstrates the broadness of situations in which the
prophet permitted lying. “The sons of Adam are accountable for all lies
with these exceptions: During war because war is deception, to reconcile among
two quarreling men, and for a man to appease his wife.”
The principle of Al-Takeyya
The Arabic word, “Takeyya”, means “to prevent,” or guard against. The
principle of Al Takeyya conveys the understanding that Muslims are permitted
to lie as a preventive measure against anticipated harm to one’s self or
fellow Muslims. This principle gives Muslims the liberty to lie under
circumstances that they perceive as life threatening. They can even deny the
faith, if they do not mean it in their hearts. Al-Takeyya is based on the
following Quranic verse:
“Let not the believers Take for friends or helpers Unbelievers rather than
believers: if any do that, in nothing will there be help from Allah:
except by way of precaution (prevention), that ye may Guard yourselves from
them (prevent them from harming you.) But Allah cautions you (To remember)
Himself; for the final goal is to Allah.” Surah 3: 28
(http://nocompulsion.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Islam-blog-pic.jpg)
According to this verse a Muslim can pretend to befriend infidels (in
violation of the teachings of Islam) and display adherence with their unbelief
to
prevent them from harming him.
Under the concept of Takeyya and short of killing another human being, if
under the threat of force, it is legitimate for Muslims to act contrary to
their faith. The following actions are acceptable:
· Drink wine, abandon prayers, and skip fasting during Ramadan.
· Renounce belief in Allah.
· Kneel in homage to a deity other than Allah.
· Utter insincere oaths.
The implications of the principle of Al-Takeyya
Unfortunately, when dealing with Muslims, one must keep in mind that
Muslims can communicate something with apparent sincerity, when in reality
they
may have just the opposite agenda in their hearts. Bluntly stated, Islam
permits Muslims to lie anytime that they perceive that their own well-being,
or that of Islam, is threatened.
In the sphere of international politics, the question is: Can Muslim
countries be trusted to keep their end of the agreements that they sign with
non-Muslim nations? It is a known Islamic practice, that when Muslims are weak
they can agree with most anything. Once they become strong, then they
negate what they formerly vowed.
The principle of sanctioning lying for the cause of Islam bears grave
implications in matters relating to the spread of the religion of Islam in the
West. Muslim activists employ deceptive tactics in their attempts to polish
Islam’s image and make it more attractive to prospective converts. They
carefully try to avoid, obscure, and omit mentioning any of the negative
Islamic texts and teachings.
An example of Islamic deception is that Muslim activists always quote the
passages of the Quran from the early part of Mohammed’s ministry while
living in Mecca. These texts are peaceful and exemplify tolerance towards
those
that are not followers of Islam. All the while, they are fully aware that
most of these passages were abrogated (cancelled and replaced) by passages
that came after he migrated to Medina. The replacement verses reflect
prejudice, intolerance, and endorse violence upon unbelievers
In conclusion, it is imperative to understand, that Muslim leaders can use
this loop-hole in their religion, to absolve them from any permanent
commitment. It is also important to know that what Muslim activists say to
spread Islam may not always be the whole truth. When dealing with Muslims,
what
they say is not the issue. The real issue is, what they actually mean in
their hearts.
