Always seek information from authentic sources, don't form your opinion from propaganda and Islamiphobic information. Step out of your bubble, meet Muslim people, visit a Muslim land if given the chance. Ignorance is a disease that spreads hate.
"Kitman" and "Taqiyya", two favorite buzzwords used Islamiphobes.
"Taqiyya" grants Muslims to right to lie about their belief in order to escape persecution. Renouncing Islam under duress, is the only application of “taqiyya” that exists in Sunni Islam, which 85% of Muslims follow.
If Al-Qaeda captured some Christian missionaries and threatened to kill them unless they declare belief in Islam, no sane person would take issue with a pretend confession. If the Nazis knocked on your door and asked if you are hiding any Jews in your attic, are you going to lie and deceive them? Allowing deception to escape torture and death is simply common sense. And can be found in the Judeo-Christian tradition as well. Even U.S. law takes into account acts done under duress.
ISIS is an extremist group, a perversion of the actual religion of Islam. ISIS people are not going around lying about their beliefs or sugar coating their violent philosophy. Their harsh, rigid, violent message is clear cut and free from deception.
1.7 billion Muslims Worldwide
Estimated 30,000 ISIS
that's 0.017% ISIS
When authentic practicing Muslims express their peaceful views, we dismiss them as "Taqiyya" ("deceptive campaigns")? On the other hand, when extremist and fundamentalist Muslims express their belligerent and violent views, we accept them as being "real Islam”?
And we all know that the origins or terrorism have nothing to do with religion but everything to do with politics and the oppression of people from their rightful lands.
