what is al-taqiyah?

Question

and why would a mulsim want to hide it?

and why would a shiite muslim want to hide it and other muslims if they do.

Answer 1

In Islamic terminology it means "to save life, honour. or property (either one's own or of other be­lievers) by hiding one's belief or religion".

Answer 2

as a sunni muslim i've never heard of this. i did check out the link that the person above me suggested-the wikipedia link.

if it means that i have to renounce my faith just cuz i'm worried that i would get persecuted then i don't buy it.
there are countless of stories of early muslim converts who were tortured to give up on their faith. example bilal was made to lay down on the hot sand with a huge stone on this back or possibly stomach to renounce his faith. he told his torturers if my tongue let me i would renounce the shahada but its not!

Answer 3

Altaqiyah will prove Muslims are fakes - and they greatly would want to hide it.

Muhammad told his followers to kill Christians and Jews on his death bed - but hypocratically claims they worship the same God. LIES LIES LIES - HYPOCRITS ALL.

Satan was the false angel Gabriel who started islam to refute Christ the true son of God.

Repent and go and sin no more or all of you will end up in the Lake of Fire with Allah and Muhammad his illiterate prophet.
