Muslim scholars teach that Muslims should generally be truthful to each other, unless the purpose of lying is to "smooth over differences" or "gain the upper-hand over an enemy."
There are several forms of lying to non-believers that are permitted under certain circumstances, the best known being taqiyya (the Shia name). These circumstances are typically those that advance the cause of Islam - in some cases by gaining the trust of non-believers in order to draw out their vulnerability and defeat them.
I can't believe that 20 years ago terrorists stole our planes and tried to kill as many of us as possible yet now we have a president that has given them tons of money weapons and free trips to our country. I really never believed I would see the end of America in my lifetime. It is getting to be very much a possibility.
Thought for Saturday, 09/11:
"I have already said that I am not involved in the 11 September attacks in the United States. As a Muslim, I try my best to avoid telling a lie. I had no knowledge of these attacks, nor do I consider the killing of innocent women, children, and other humans as an appreciable act. Islam strictly forbids causing harm to innocent women, children, and other people." ~ Usamah Bin-Ladin, in interview with Ummat, a Pakistani daily, published in Karachi on September 28, 2001. It was translated into English by the BBC World Monitoring Service and made public on September 29, 2001, and confirmed as authentic.
We just went to watch Joe Blystone speak. He is a constitutional candidate for Governor of Ohio. If you get a chance to hear him speak, go, ask questions, research his positions, send his website to your Ohio friends. Check him out, support him, pray for him, volunteer for his campaign. He is the kind of person we need in politics, someone who understands the constitution, and is willing to fight for our rights. He has my full support! Blystone for Governor of Ohio
