Being neither a Moslem nor a scholar on Islamic studies, I cannot say whether the presentation of that writer on Al-Taqiyyah (or Dissimulation) and related topics is correct. Some of the points he makes are:- 1. that the God of the Bible (or God of the Jews) and the Allah of the Moslems are two very different beings; 2. Moslems are mortal enemies of the Jews and vice versa; (while the writer emphasized that Moslems seek to destroy the Jews, the writer seems to gloss over the fact that, in the OT of the Bible, the Jews were commanded by their God to destroy any worshippers of false gods like the moon (which the writer implied to be the God of the Moslems). I wonder why. Perhaps it is in keeping with present day propaganda to denounce Islam as the religion of the sword whilst trying to ignore the fact that the Jews were commanded by their God to be annihilators of moon-worshipers. (By the way, for present day Moslems the crescent moon is the symbol of their Allah.) It therefore seems that, by implication, the Israelis are as bad and as bloodthirsty as the Moslems themselves. But present day propaganda paints the Israelis as very sane, rational and disciplined folks. Do you see any hypocrisy in this? Or is the Jew-Arab Moslem issue going to be a perpetual case of the pot calling the kettle black? BWDIK!
