Msulims and all; I realized a term used here in R & S?

Question

What does people mean by "Al-Taqiyah Answers"? or "Al-Taqiyah Style"?

Thanks all, I think the first answer got it right 'cause the term was n a sentence saying: "I don't want Al Tqyeah answers". It's pronounced in my Language "Tekeeyah", that's why I didn't recognize it.

You are right 1-78%# ÷ I didn't know how to type your name.. =D, Thus the sentence meant: "Hiding a part and telling a part"; thatnk you, Very enlightening.

Answer 1

some shia have habit of hiding truth of their sect. They consider it as an great virtue. Its written in their authentic books that they should hide truth from non-shia. Shia may come and claime that, they don't do taqiya. But its difficult to trust, because while denying taqia also they do taqiya.

Answer 2

Al-Taqiyah, from the verb Ittaqu, means linguistically dodge the threat. Politically it means simulate whatever status you need in order to win the war against the enemy ...
One of their major objectives was to cause a split among the enemy's camp while downplaying the issues related to Islam ("Oh, I am not religious." "Oh, that is not Islam, you are mistaken, there is so much misinformation." "Oh, it is in the interpretation." "Brother, Islam is all about peace and love and music just like in the 60s.")
They convinced many Jews that they will be protected from Christians, and they convinced many Christians that Jews were the mortal enemies, because they killed Issa (Jesus). They convinced the Aramaics, Copts, and Hebrews that the enemy is Greece, and signed peace agreements with the Bysantines Greeks at the expense of Maronite Aramaics, etc.
Al-Taqiyah is still in use today (and is widely practised and acknowledged by the Shi'ite sect) but not necessarily State- organized. Arab-Islamic missionaries are slowly converting the disillusioned criminal classes of the Western world by feeding them a Western "moderate" version of Islam (at the same time denouncing the actions of Muslims in the rest of the world as Un Islamic e.g. Taliban, GIA & FIA [Armed Islamic Front] of Algeria, Hamas, Lashkar -e Toyiba, Bin Laden and company, etc.)

Answer 3

I'm pretty sure Taqiyah style does not mean pillow style.

I've never seen that term being used here, but it does make sense.

And Taqiyyah is practiced only by some Shia, not all Muslims.

Answer 4

In Islamic tradition, Taqiyya (التقية - 'fear, guard against')[1] is the dispensation allowing believers to conceal their faith when under threat, persecution or compulsion. It is based on Qur'an verses 3:28 and 16:106 as well as hadith, tafsir literature, and juridical commentaries.[2] Sunnis assert that Taqiyya is an act of hypocrisy that serves to conceal the truth. According to them, Taqiyya constitutes a lack of faith and trust in God because the person who conceals his beliefs to spare himself from danger is fearful of humans, when he should be fearful of God only.

The word "al-Taqiyya" literally means: "Concealing or disguising one's 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." A one-word translation would be "Dissimulation."

Answer 5

All the answers above is very enlightening..Thanks

Answer 6

Taqiyah means PILLOW that you keep under your head while you sleep....Now you can conclude! Can you???

Answer 7

Satan is the father of liars and lieing in Islam is accepted and encouraged even Allah himslef gloats of deceiving people as in the crucifiction he says that theyw ere made ot believe that Jesus was crucified ...literaly saying that people were fooled into believing that Christ had atoned for sin and that this went on until it was revealed a lie in the Quran which meant allh allowed people to be deceived from the time of Christ to the time of the Qu'ran 600 years later.. many would have been born and died during this time of deception wiht no way of knowing the truth.. which in fact is the lie as Christ did die and atone for sin fo thwose who accept the atonement. Teh obvious point is that the God of Abrham is not a deceiver and does not delight in lies and the Allah of Islam does they are not the same God and allah says they are... clearly this Allah is in agreement with the liar which is Satan.

Answer 8
