In the Muslim religion, it is permissible and sometimes even praiseworthy to lie to infidels in order to promote the ultimate goals of Islam. This is taqiyya. Given that fact, can we ever trust any claim made by any Muslim candidate in the United States or elsewhere? And can we trust any Islamic dictator, even if he pretends to be friendly with America for financial reasons?

The number of times that Palestinian terrorists have made deals that Americans and some Israeli hailed as achieving peace which the Palestinians immediately violated are just some examples of taqiyya. This is not a problem exclusive to Gaza. For many centuries, Muslims have lied to non-Muslims whenever it happened to serve their purpose. 

Qatari and Saudi dictators continue to do so, investing money in America and claiming to want peace while also sponsoring terrorism and/or persecuting Christians. And a Palestinian spokesman recently described an elaborate system to continue financially rewarding terrorists while pretending to keep up the Americans’ conditions. Meanwhile, the Iranian mullahs several times told the Americans they were interested in seeing a deal, while telling their own state media that they will continue fighting the Americans until the U.S. falls.

When we talk about Muslim candidates in America such as Abdul El-Sayed, Adam Hamawy, Zohran Mamdani, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, and Abdullah Hammoud, we often discuss their ties to terrorist groups or their violent antisemitism or their allegiance to sharia. But what we do not as often note is that anything they say, anything at all, is suspect. We can never know if any of their campaign promises are truthful because of taqiyya. Layered on the ubiquitous dishonesty of politicians is the religious belief that lying is service to Allah.

And in fact, we must extend this analysis from politicians to any Muslim immigrants. If the Muslim immigrants do not renounce their former religion and culture, we cannot ever be certain that they are not our enemies. Every country that has allowed in large numbers of Muslims has become a sharia cesspool. Historically speaking, this is a reliably predictable fact. It doesn’t matter if some of the Muslims claim they have no intention of taking over the country. Remember taqiyya.

Eventually, Westerners will either have to succumb to the global Muslim colonization project or recognize that Islam is inherently dishonest toward infidels. If we do the latter, we will have to admit we cannot compromise with any Muslims, whether dictators, politicians, or ordinary migrants. If they offer us money, it is only because they want to change our culture. If they offer us deals, they are only buying time. And if they respond to our overtures with terrorism, then they are showing their true hand.
