Little White Lie

"[Would-be hijacker Zacarias] Moussaoui said there were times when a Muslim can lie without being immoral: to reconcile Muslims, to answer 'yes' when a wife asks, 'Am I beautiful?' and to carry out jihad."--New York Times, March 27

How about this one:

Does this suicide vest make me look fat?

A Muslim is also permitted to lie when answering the question: is Islam really a religion of 'peace'?

A Muslim is also permitted to lie to an infidel; especially when doing so will "further the cause of Islam."

How could you possibly trust someone who subscribes to such an ideology?

Elmer's Brother,
I, also, am happy to see you posting again.

Actually, I was just wondering today what had become of you.

Elmer, good one!
Yep, The Taqiyya Factor. Maybe we could get a news show on this one. Worked for that O'Reilly feller. But seriously, what DID he swear on, and how can anyone believe a word he says anyway? He's probably been well trained to use Taqiyya (see his 'training' history) plus he's also probably putting on a huge show to please his al Qaida buddies as well with his chance to speak in court. Who the hell knows with this guy? Either way, we know what a bad liar he is already from how poorly he handled his flight school experience. That was idiotic on his part, but luckily landed him in jail.

LD,
He affirmed. I've read nothing about the Koran's appearance in this court for taking the oath.

Pastorius, I had a bit of surgery and was out for awhile. I am doing well and I hope to post pics of my surgery (when I get them from the Dr.) on my blog.
