Al-Taqqiya : The Tactic of Deception

The Sharia provides a tactic called Al-Taqqiya that allows Muslims to lie in order to deceive their enemy, who is usually the Kafir or Disbeliever. ‘Taqiyya’ means lying. Muslims are allowed to lie under 3 circumstances according to the Quran. 1. To escape from harm, 2. To please wives or to avoid upsetting them, 3. The most important – Muslims are allowed to lie in order to make unbelievers accept Islam.

The tragic hate crime that triggered a massive outrage from Hindus

On 28^th June 2022, Mohammed Ghous and Mohammed Ryiaz Akthar, gruesomely beheaded Kanhaiya Lal, a Hindu tailor in Udaipur. Kanhaiya Lal was hacked 24 times, including 7-8 times on the neck that almost decapitated his head, and he died from excessive bleeding. The barbarians made videos of the beheading and the celebration of his murder. This tragic hate crime triggered a massive outrage from Hindus across India.

Islamic leaders across party lines rushed to condemn the Jihadi killing. However, the condemnations issued appeared scripted and from their usual toolkit.

The typical reactions were – ‘Islam is a religion of peace’, ‘Violence has no place in Islam’, ‘It is barbaric and uncivilised, and there is no justification for such killings’.

A Twitter user Darab Farooqui put out a collection of tweets from his community condemning the beheading. Darab further wrote, “This is how a civilized community should respond to hatred and violence. Prove me wrong”.

Is Islam a ‘religion of peace’ ?

Let’s quickly validate the claims that Islam is a ‘religion of peace’ or its followers are a ‘civilised community’ by examining some examples relevant to most Hindus.

Islamic invaders killed millions of Hindus during the medieval period. India was partitioned by followers of Islam to establish Pakistan, and hundreds of thousands of Hindus were savagely murdered in pre and post Partition riots. Most UN-designated terrorists and terror groups are overwhelmingly Islamic. With these historical facts, most Hindus are likely to reject the aforementioned claims.

To distract the world from late Kanhaiya Lal’s gruesome killing, Islamist news portals, several prominent Islamists and many Jihad sympathisers on social media resorted to Al-Taqqiya a.k.a Deception.

Take the example of the Hyderabad-based, The Siasat Daily, that published an article by the Students Islamic Organisation (SIO). For the uninitiated, SIO is the student wing of Jamat-e-Islami Hind (JIH), different to Jamat-e-Islami.

As per SIO’s website, their Constitution is based on the Quran and Sunnah. Their aims and objectives state, ‘To nourish [students] talents and to make them useful for the Islamic Movement’. SIO’s President, Mohammed Salman Ahmed is quoted as saying, “There is no justification for such violence”. He further states that the responsibility of the crime is on the Government and media for polarising the country.

Salman employs Al-Taqqiya here, saying, “[Prophet Mohammed] taught humanity to love, empathise and care for each other, as he forgave his staunchest enemies”. In his Twitter post, Salman wrote that the ‘murder doesn’t represent the Muslim community and anyone blaming Muslims/Islam is an Islamophobe’.

The punishment for ‘disrespecting’ Prophet Mohammed

The reality is quite different to Salman’s claim. Sahih Al-Bukhari (59:369) narrates the punishment for ‘disrespecting’ Prophet Mohammed :
Narrated By Jabir bin Abdullah : Allah’s Apostle said, ‘Who is willing to kill Ka’b bin Al-Ashraf who has hurt Allah and His Apostle ?’ Thereupon Mohammed bin Maslama got up saying, “O Allah’s Apostle ! Would you like that I kill him ?” The Prophet said, “Yes”. Mohammed bin Maslama said, “Then allow me to say a (false) thing (i.e. to deceive Kab). The Prophet said, “You may say it”.

Another Islamist news portal MuslimMirror.com published an article by a known Hinduphobic American Muslim scholar, Aslam Abdullah. The article did not even publish the name of late Kanhaiya Lal and instead referred to a ‘Hindu tailor’. The author then weaves the story as an ‘intentional homicide’ and draws false equivalences with rapes and murders in the rest of the country, deliberately ignoring Hindu hatred as the trigger. Abdullah further says that nowhere in the Quran does it call for ‘killing those who criticise Islam, make fun of its messengers, and falsify its message’.

He quotes Quran 41:34 on friendship and good deeds. What Abdullah fails to tell unsuspecting Hindu readers is that the Quran calls for killing the unbelievers multiple times. For example Quran 4:56 says – ‘Those who disbelieve in our verses we’ll drive them into a fire…..’.
OR
Surah Al-Taubah 9:5 says :
Then, when the sacred months have passed, slay the idolaters wherever ye find them, and take them (captive), and besiege them, and prepare an ambush for each of them.

Maulana Mahmood Madani, Jamait-e-Ulema Hind’s head while condemning the beheading said – “[Udaipur incident] is a disgrace to humanity and an act of defaming Islam”. But the same Ulema provided legal assistance to Al-Qaeda, ISIS and Lashker-e-Taiba terrorists and opposed the death penalty to the 2008 Ahmedabad serial blast convicts.

This is what some Muslims say about beheading

AIMIM’s leader and former NDTV journalist Imtiyaz Jaleel called for the public beheading of Nupur Sharma. AIMIM is yet to take disciplinary action against him. A social media influencer named Rana Ayyub called on PM Modi to intervene, asking ‘India to stop this hate’, giving no reference to the religion of the victim and perpetrators.

In another Twitter post, Rana Ayyub wrote, ‘Proud of the Muslim community for speaking in one voice against the terror unleashed by two men in Udaipur. This is how barbarism, hate crimes, lynchings in the name of faith need to be condemned across the board. No rallies in solidarity with the accused, no excuses. Period’. Ex-Indian cricketer Irfan Pathan wrote, ‘No matter which (religion) you follow, hurting an innocent life is like hurting the whole humanity’. Ironically, both Rana Ayyub and Irfan Pathan were completely silent when ‘Sarr Tan Se Juda’ rallies were taken out.

‘Love Jihad’ and Al-Taqqiya

‘Love Jihad’ is an example of Al-Taqqiya. In numerous cases, Abdul poses as Aditya, Rehan as Rahul and Suleman as Sanjay to trap unsuspecting Hindu girls, often via Facebook or Instagram. In most cases the ending is gruesome and barbaric for the Hindu girl who is trafficked into flesh trade, beheaded or packed in a suitcase.

And, what about anti-CAA protests ?

Anti-CAA protest was another example of Al-Taqqiya. The entire community blocked roads in Delhi opposing a humane law that granted citizenship for the persecuted Hindus from Islamic territories of Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh. They called it ‘un-Constitutional’ and anti-Muslim. They said they were saving India’s Constitution and secularism from fascist Hindutva. However, the same community responded with mob violence during the Gyanvapi Mandir case, to intimidate Constitutional bodies.

The Mohammedan community wants – Death of a Kafir !

In Kanhaiya Lal’s case, the Islamic scholars, thinkers, leaders and politicians took no action to stop the mobs that were taking out ‘Sarr Tan Se Juda’ rallies across India. By remaining silent, the Mohammedan community achieved what they wanted – the death of a Kafir. Issuing condemnation after the barbaric act of beheading is Al-Taqqiya in action.

MINORITY APPEASEMENT

Congress formed the National Commission for Minorities in 1992 to appease Muslims in the aftermath of the demolition of the Babri Masjid. In 2005, Sachar Committee was formed to study the welfare of minority communities. In 2006, Dr Manmohan Singh infamously declared, “Muslims have the first claim on resources”. A Ministry of Minority Affairs was created and AR Antulay became its first Cabinet Minister. This raises the question : If all religions are considered equal before the law (as per secularism), then why was a separate commission for minorities created ?

Minority Ministry received the highest ever fund allocation of Rs 5,020.50 crores for the Year 2022-23 in comparison to Rs 3,531 crores in 2013. According to Indiaspend.com, in 2006-07 the funds allocated to the Minority Ministry was Rs 143 crores.

HAJ SUBSIDY

Indian taxpayers were funding the Haj subsidy given to Muslims for undertaking their pilgrimage to Mecca. Crores of Rupees have been spent on Muslims for Haj. In 1994 it was Rs 10.42 crore, in 2013 the total subsidy given was Rs 680 crore, which was reduced to Rs 405 crore in 2016. In 2012, Supreme Court passed an order asking the Indian Government to gradually reduce the Haj subsidy. Finally, in 2018, the Indian Government completely scrapped the subsidy. The State Governments of Telangana, Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh provide subsidies to Christians wishing to visit Jerusalem for pilgrimage.

Islamic scholars and others took no action to stop the mobs that were taking out ‘Sarr Tan Se Juda’ rallies across India !
