	Taqiyya - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Shi'a Islamic tradition, Taqiyya (التقية) is the dissimulation of one’s religious beliefs when one fears for one's life, the lives of one's family members, or for the preservation of the faith.
		According to many Shia, Taqiyya can only be legally used by a Muslim verbally when he or she is being wrongly persecuted.
		According to them, Taqiyya constitutes a lack of faith and trust in God because the person who conceals his beliefs to spare himself from danger is fearful of humans, when he should be fearful of God only.

		Although Taqiyya is generally thought of as a Shi'a term, according to principles defined by the great Sunni theologian al-Ghazali, lying, including protection of oneself or others, is permissible under certain circumstances: Sunni Islam (Arabic سنّة) is the largest denomination of Islam.
		According to many Shi'a Muslims, Taqiyya can only be legally used by a Muslim verbally when he or she is being wrongly persecuted.
		Muhammad himself was known to have used Taqiyya when he kept his prophetic mission hidden for three years from the Quraish during their prolonged hostility toward Muslims.

		In Islamic law and tradition, Taqiyya is the dissimulation of one’s religious beliefs to non-Muslims.

	Taqiyya
		Taqiyya is allowed, and performed, when necessary to avoid death or injury to oneself or other Muslims.
		Taqiyya is mainly considered as a part of Shi'i theology or modern-day Islamism.
		The world saw a very illustrative example of taqiyya with the 911 (September 11, 2005) attack on USA, when the local al-Qaida leaders went to bars and drank alcohol shortly before initiating their suicide attacks.

		Some claim that Shi'ites use taqiyya not just "when one fears for one's life, etc etc", but also when it gains them some worldly advantage, and perhaps some other (imagined) unsavory ends.
		I think this article should include a section about how the doctrine of Taqiyya has been mis-used by Islamophobics and other people, for example, terrorist groups such as Takfiris that have a vested interest in misinterpreting this teaching to suit their beliefs.

		Taqiyya provides Takfiris with ample opportunity to use this die-back machinery, starting from the leaves (civilians or what they call ‘expendable entities’) and branchlets (small organizations, etc.), ultimately rendering the tree obsolete without ever having launched any direct attack against its main organs.
		Weaponized taqiyya is not directly connected to the die-back mechanism; but it is a way in which a Takfiri can shift the role of taqiyya from mere camouflage to a powerful plane of logistics on which (para)offensive tactics and strategies can converged and be amplified.
		For a Takfiri under taqiyya, occupation is neither a military goal nor a tactic; since occupation is exclusive localization tethered to the mappings of co-localization, the occupier is vulnerable to environmental forces; it can be easily distinguished, located, isolated and finally terminated i.e.

	SIXTH COLUMN: Islam Practices to Deceive (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		In operational terms, taqiyya and kitman allowed the ‘mujahadeen ’ to assume whatever identity was necessary to fulfill their mission; they had doctrinal and theological and later jurisprudential sanction to pretend to be Jews or Christians to gain access to Christian and Jewish targets: ‘the mujahadeen can take the shape of the enemy’.
		The theory and practice of counter terrorism would be counter productive, indeed pointless, and even harmful, without reference to taqiyya and kitman and the crucial role of deception ranging from Islamic jurisprudence to Al Qaeda training manuals, which carry detailed instructions on the use of deception by terrorists in Western target countries.

		Until recently, the Isma'ilis were studied almost exclusively on the basis of evidence collected or fabricated by their numerous enemies, including especially the bulk of the Sunni heresiographers and polemicists of medieval times, as well as the Crusaders and their occidental chroniclers.
		With the exception of the Fatimid period, when Isma'ilism was adopted as the madhhab or system of jurisprudence for the Fatimid state and the Isma'ilis enjoyed the protection of that state, the Isma'ilis had by and large been persecuted throughout the Muslim world.

		On the contrary, Hanna demonstrates how Abu Taqiyya's consistent use of the court provides us with the knowledge necessary to apprehend the nature of his transactions with family members, business partners, clients, and representatives of the ruling class and the military elite.
		Her description of Abu Taqiyya's social transformation from small-time merchant to powerful shahbandar is certainly rich and instructive, but it may shed far less light on the broader state of affairs in the seventeenth century than Hanna claims.
		In choosing to write about the lands of the Ottoman empire, one is confronted with a tradition of orientalist thought that posits the region as having gone through an almost 350 year period of unmitigated stagnation, or, worse yet, decline.

		In the past, most leading Sunni scholars are known to have openly considered the Shi'a as "Kafir" (disbelievers).

	Bliss Street Journal - The Blog: Two steps back
		Sunni Muslims in particular (especially in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Jordan, and other countries where the religious establishment has received excessive accommodation in return for not fomenting religious coup detats against barely-legitimate ruling dynasties) have a pretty horrible record regarding the tolerance of others who don't share their particularly bigoted perspective.
		Besides, considering that there is very little institutionalized persecution of Shiites going on today (at least compared to about a century ago or so) taqiyya is more or less considered an obsolete practice.
		Furthermore, taqiyya is altogether rejected by orthodox Sunnis as unnecessary (since the tendency of Sunnis is to be in the majority anyway) and even heretical.
