(تقیّه) Unintended Consequences of Dissimulation

Dissimulation is a form of  deception whereby the truth is concealed to gain an advantage.

Dissimulation or Taghiyeh  is an Islamic concept where one conceals or disguises one' beliefs, convictions, ideas, feelings, opinions, and/or strategies  at a time of eminent danger, whether now or later in time, to save oneself from physical and/or mental injury.

Sunnis associate this practice wholly to Shiites, and characterize it as hypocrisy.  In response, Shiites qualify this practice by referencing passages from the Quran.  It was rationalized that if one’s “heart” remained true to one’e true beliefs, then dissimulation was permitted and was considered safe to practice.  However, while some Shiite sects survived and grew in this way under the dominant Sunnis, others like the Ismailis gradually assimilated and as a consequence their numbers dwindled.

Unintended Consequences

Consequences are the resulting effects of the actions we take and as such we consider how they may affect us and others physically, morally, and materially.   Our actions may include what we say, what we do, as well as when and where it takes place, and in the presence or involvement of whom it occurs.  We are accustomed to rationalizing our actions and may at times go to great lengths to rationalize them if some form of deception is involved.  The concept of dissimulation in Islam, however, may have opened the door to the possibility that the ‘faithful’ can legitimize actions that otherwise would have been considered ‘forbidden’.  In this context, the means could justify the end just as Islamic apologists argue that dissimulation is an act of diplomacy in Islam.

It is my contention that dissimulation has contributed to deception and hypocrisy in our society.  Furthermore it has served the theocracy in Iran to survive and advance its causes but justifying much that is abhorrent.

It is also my contention that the inferno that rages within our society will most likely consume those that exercise this type of diplomacy!

نقل نُقل!

نُقل شیرین است وراحت الحلقوم. زبان تنها عضله ای در بدن است که خستگی پذیر نیست و از آن نقل جاری میشود چه راست و چه اکثرأ دروغ که میتواند از خنجر هم بُرنده تر باشد. و این نقل قولهای اکثرأ دروغ است که بنام روایات و احاديث و فقه و اجتهاد و غیره دین خالص و ساده حق را به این صورت درکشورمان و دیگر کشورهای مسلمان در آورده است عمو جان!

Please don't make fun of.....

An important practice in Islam. To be a good Muslim you must be a good liar. Why do you think Muslim countries are ruled by dictators. 

Ali:Lying is okay in war, no wonder he was murdered. Who was he laying to.  

دروغگویی تقصیر زبانست!

براي زبان هفتاد گناه ذکر کرده اند که ديگر اعضاء و جوارح بدن اين همه قادر به گناه کردن نيستند!

طوري که نقل شده: هر روز صبح، همه اعضاء بدن به زبان مي گويند که تو باعث نشو که ما را به آتش جهنم بسوزانند.

اسلام ناب خالق خر!

و شیعه خود دروغی است که با وسائل  تفرقه افکنی خود وارد اسلام شد و بشکل آخوند و ملا از زمان پادشاهان دروغین صفویه در ایران بر جا ماند.

تقیه، جواز اسلامی برای دروغ گویی
