Taqiyya is permitted in Shia Islam (not Sunni) ONLY as a means of safety. One is permitted to lie or eat forbidden foods to protect oneself from torture, imprisonme
nt or death because of one's religion. Sharia Law only applies to Muslims. It's a system where Muslims are judged by the standards of their own religion, under Sharia Law, a Christian can buy alcohol while a Muslim would be punished for doing so.
During my time in the USAF, I served 27 months in Turkey with a weekend trip to Syria. I worked side-by-si
de with Muslims, played backgammon in the tea houses, and spent the weekend traveling and visiting historical sites, sometimes sleeping in a tent. I found Muslim people to be no different than anyone else. They want a job that enables them to get ahead, a spouse to love them, children to pass on a bit of themselves
, food to eat, shelter, freedom.
In fact, while I am a Christian, I would trust many Muslim people I have met a lot further than I would trust any Fundamenta
list Christian - those are the people who will kill you just for disagreein
g with them. And the ones trying to impose "Christian Law" on America.
