Per, Islam, it's OK to lie if it furthers the interests of Islam...folks
just need to know and understand what this Islamo-Facist ideology is all
about. We can't use our standards in viewing what they do...must see them for
who they really are and ISIS is almost pure Islam and their leader has a
Phd. in Islamic studies. So just watch and see ISIS and that's Islam at work
in it's most honest and pure ways. Don't believe Obama/Clinton in what they
say Islam is all about....they are not telling you the truth.

Sam Harris had an exchange on CNN with Dean Obeidellah that's well worth
watching. You can see it here: _Never Stop Lying_
(http://www.samharris.org/blog/item/never-stop-lying) . Below are some comments
by Harris:
[The ten-minute video] encapsulates better than most how difficult it is
to even discuss the threat of political Islam.
My opponent was Dean Obeidallah. As incredible as it may seem, the man has
since claimed that he mopped the floor with me in this exchange. I would
not have thought such a degree of self-deception possible, but then I
recalled Obeidallah’s response to my and Bill Maher’s encounter with Ben
Affleck
last year…
(https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-aFpsxhkTv58/VyO77wC2x5I/AAAAAAAAFhc/vmP6zPIJAHsj7Sc2gbF-An7WYNgXnH4WgCLcB/s1600/sam+harris+on+cnn.jpg)
...and realized that Obeidallah knows his audience. As I've said before,
the most depressing thing about _the episode with Affleck_
(http://www.citizenwarrior.com/2014/10/making-conversation-public-sam-harris.html)
was
seeing how many Muslims thought he had "exposed" my and Maher's bigotry — as
though shouting "gross" and "racist" and similar epithets were an act of
investigative journalism. Having witnessed this mindless display of tribalism,
I have no doubt that most of Obeidallah's fans will think he performed
admirably in our debate and will imagine, once again, that my bigotry against
the world’s 1.6 billion Muslims has been “exposed.”
It would be tempting to despair for humanity at this point, were it not
for the fact that many more people who watched this video thought Obeidallah
came off as a mendacious buffoon. Unfortunately, a number of those who have
taken my side have also written off Obeidallah as a know-nothing comedian
who is of no consequence in the larger public conversation about Islam. But
this disparagement of him is unfair. He is a former attorney and
prominent enough in the American Muslim community to have gotten a meeting
with
President Obama. Along with Reza Aslan, Obeidallah is now on the short list of
media personalities who can play the consoling role of "moderate Muslim"
on demand. He is also a very public supporter (and beneficiary) of the
Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) — a group that has worked
tirelessly to blur the line between legitimate political interests and
theocratic
bullying. Consequently, what Obeidallah says about his religion and its
critics on national television (and on social media) actually matters.
For a former attorney, Obeidallah is quite sloppy. For instance, when Bill
Maher claimed on his show that “like 90 percent” of Egyptian Muslims
favor the death penalty for apostasy, Obeidallah branded him a bigot who
couldn’
t keep his facts straight. _According to Obeidallah_
(http://www.cnn.com/2014/10/07/opinion/obeidallah-maher-muslim-comments/) ,
only 64 percent of
Egyptian Muslims favor death for apostates. While even he conceded that this
number is depressing, many people came away feeling that Maher can’t be
trusted. Did Obeidallah even bother to read the Pew poll that he claimed
Maher had misrepresented? The _real figure was 88 percent_
(http://uncertaintyblog.com/2015/02/12/check-the-original-source-how-so-many-writers-got-the-fac
ts-wrong-after-the-maher-vs-affleck-islam-debate/) . Is 88 percent rather
'like 90 percent"? I’ll let readers decide. (Judging from what I’ve seen
online, I fear that most of Obeidallah’s fans would say no.)
Unfortunately, like Reza Aslan, Obeidallah seems almost compulsively
dishonest. For instance, pay attention to the point in our exchange, beginning
at _3:15_
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLN9ZHNA_3c&feature=youtu.be&t=3m12s) , when
I mention specific punishments under sharia — amputations for
thieves and death for homosexuals. Obeidallah reflexively attempts to cloud
the issue by denying that the Qur’an contains any mention of “throwing
gays off of rooftops.” In response to this interruption, I can only insist
that "it's in the hadith, and you know it." Is it possible that a Muslim who
has been shilling for an organization like CAIR doesn’t actually understand
_the status of homosexuality_ (http://wikiislam.net/wiki/Qur) under
Islamic law? I don’t think so.
It is by no means an accident that members of the Islamic State are taking
men suspected of being gay to rooftops and hurling them to their deaths.
Nor is this specific punishment a grotesque innovation on the part of some
sadist in their organization. This is a religious practice. Please watch my
exchange with Obeidallah with the understanding that he knows this, and yet
he feels that his moral energy is best spent charging me with bigotry for
worrying about the way specific doctrines within the Islamic tradition are
breeding intolerance and violence. One of my readers wrote after watching
this exchange, "I find this behavior far more disconcerting than the
rantings of jihadists." I agree. To stifle conversation in this way is to
merely
wave away the concerns of all those living under Islamic theocracy (or its
creeping threat), while very likely prolonging their misery.
Read the rest and watch the video: _Never Stop Lying_
