Capt. Stabbing and friends do We Are ... err.. Con The World.
Now this nails it on the head... No Taqiyya here!
In case you're wondering what Taqiyya is...
A definition from Islam Watch:
"The word "Taqiyya" literally means: "Concealing, precaution, guarding.” It is employed in disguising one's beliefs, intentions, convictions, ideas, feelings, opinions or strategies. In practical terms it is manifested as dissimulation, lying, deceiving, vexing and confounding with the intention of deflecting attention, foiling or pre-emptive blocking. It is currently employed in fending off and neutralising any criticism of Islam or Muslims."
Quotes on Taqiyya from "The Closed Circle" An Interpretation of Islam by David Bryce-Jones:
Lying and cheating in the Arab world is not really a moral matter but a method of safeguarding honor and status, avoiding shame, and at all times exploiting possibilities, for those with the wits for it, deftly and expeditiously to convert shame into honor on their own account and vice versa for their opponents. If honor so demands, lies and cheating may become absolute imperatives.” [David Pryce-Jones, “The Closed Circle” An interpretation of the Arabs, p4]
“No dishonor attaches to such primary transactions as selling short weight, deceiving anyone about quality, quantity or kind of goods, cheating at gambling, and bearing false witness. The doer of these things is merely quicker off the mark than the next fellow; owing him nothing, he is not to be blamed for taking what he can.” [David Pryce-Jones, “The Closed Circle”, p38]
Keep that in mind when you view anything out of the Middle East from an Arab view when a cultural and religious tenant allows for deceptive behavior and calling it "honorable"... Funny how Islam seems to line everything up to an exact opposite to what Jesus preached.
