Smile to Your Face While Stabbing You in the Back
Monday, 25 April 2005, President George Bush made cozy with Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Abdullah in Crawford, Texas, and gushed positively about the prince. Fox News at 1715 EDT on the same day interviewed Ali Al-Ahmed, Director of the Saudi Institute, which is distinctly anti-Saudi. The key question asked of the Director of the Saudi Institute was whether Saudi Arabia is truly a friend of the USA. Mr. Ahmed stated plainly "No!"
Mr. Ahmed went on to say that they (the Saudi Institute) had just now obtained a secret recording of a "very high Saudi minister" who thought he was in private urging Saudis to go to Iraq to kill coalition forces and cause total disruption. Mr. Ahmed referred to Saudi behavior as typically Bedouin: smiling to your face while stabbing you in the back.
We common citizens see this as plain as day. Those august bodies and lofty spirits in Washington apparently do not.
We pointed out on 6th Column Against Jihad (in a recent review of Andre' Servier's 1924 book, Islam and the Psychology of the Musulman) that knowing Islamists required first knowing Bedouins, among whom Islam developed. Deception as behavior preceeded Islam historically, coming substantially from long-standing Bedouin behavior. Islam institutionalized it.
Still, so many people just do not want to believe that they are being deceived chronically--or any other perfidies inherent in Islam. They, and other--in high places, just want to be fooled.
For the rest of us, we want to know the enemy. To facilitate that understanding, we are reprinting one of our first articles on this blog, Islam Practices to Deceive (revised).

Islam kills Muslims off in the worst possible way, by destroying their humanity at the earliest possible age in life. From my perspective, their lives are living hells.
Consider one double bind Islam forces them into. On the one hand, they are supposed to have allegiance only to Islam and the ummah, which is the world community of Muslims, and they are supposed to be strict practitioners of Islam. Both make them detestable as human beings. Some rebel, usually only partially against Islam. They want to live and let live, and to enjoy life on this earth. By not being totally consistently orthodox, they become “bad Muslims," by Islamic criteria.
Suppose these "bad Muslims" (by Islamic criteria) express their desires to join the Family of Man instead of killing and conquering the Family of Man? Who among the non-Islamic Family of Man dares trust them?
From where comes this distrust? It comes from Islam itself, which has built into itself all sorts of ways to trap Muslims permanently into its morass. “Good Muslims”--who are “bad guys” to us because they are consistent practitioners of Islam and want to destroy use--use all sorts of official Islamic techniques to fool us into believing that they seek congeniality in order to share life on earth. All the while, these bad guys are fooling us, trying to take us off guard, so they can kill and destroy us.
A Muslim with truly humane intentions also endures distrust engendered by the deceivers ("good Muslims"). These Muslims can’t win, inside Islam or out. Islam makes them universal pariahs. The best course for them is to renounce Islam completely and follow up public renunciation with consistently benevolent behavior over a very long time, but those lining up to join the Family of Man make a very short line.
Despite our best vigilance, we may still be fooled by some Muslims, who pretend to renounce Islam as part of their program of deceit. Some become long term “sleepers.”
It is worth exposing the tactics of deception practiced by Islam, as we find them. I am indebted to Counter Intelligence, Counter Espionage, and Counter Terrorism (http://www.ci-ce-ct.com/Feature%20articles/02-12-2002.asp), for the following excellent material, in “Taqiyya and kitman: The role of Deception in Islamic terrorism.”
“Tradecraft. Persona. Deception. Disinformation. Cover: Western operational terms and techniques. But, Islamic terrorists have their own terms: taqiyya (pronounced tark-e-ya): precautionary dissimulation or deception and keeping one's convictions secret and a synonymous term, kitman: mental reservation and dissimulation or concealment ofmalevolent intentions...
“Taqiyya and kitman or ‘holy hypocrisy’ has been diffused throughout Arabic culture for over fourteen hundred years since it was developed by Shiites as a means of defence and concealment of beliefs against Sunni unbelievers. As the Prophet said: 'he who keeps secrets shall soon attain his objectives.’
"The skilful use of taqiyya and kitman was often a matter of life and death against enemies; it is also a matter of life and death to many contemporary Islamic terrorists. As so often in the history of Islam, a theological doctrine became operational.
“During the Spanish inquisition, Sunni Moriscos attended mass and returned home to wash their hands of the ‘holy water’. In operational terms, taqiyya and kitman allowed the ‘mujahadeen ’ to assume whatever identity was necessary to fulfill their mission; they had doctrinal and theological and later jurisprudential sanction to pretend to be Jews or Christians to gain access to Christian and Jewish targets: ‘the mujahadeen can take the shape of the enemy’.
“Taqiyya is common to both Shiite and Sunni Muslim discourse and has significant implications for understanding Islamic fundamentalism and terrorist operations. The theory and practice of counter terrorism would be counter productive, indeed pointless, and even harmful, without reference to taqiyya and kitman and the crucial role of deception ranging from Islamic jurisprudence to Al Qaeda training manuals, which carry detailed instructions on the use of deception by terrorists in Western target countries.
“According to Christian ethics lying is a sin; In Islamic jurisprudence and theology, the use of taqiyya against the unbelievers is regarded as a virtue and a religious duty.
“Like many Islamic concepts taqiyya and kitman were formed within the context of the Arab-Islamic matrix of tribalism, expansionary warfare and conflict. Taqiyya has been used by Muslims since the 7th century to confuse and split 'the enemy’. A favored tactic was ‘deceptive triangulation’; to persuade the enemy that jihad was not aimed at them but at another enemy. Another tactic was to deny that there was jihad at all. The fate for such faulty assessments by the target was death.”
We must never forget, as we expose the truth about Islam, that many of their best theorists and practitioners lived in, and still live in, Iran. Iran is Shia Islam territory. Shiites broke off from Sunnis about 900 A.D. and the two factions have been in competition since. While there are differences between Sunni and Shia Islam, they are trifles. At the level of basic principles and practices., they are the same.
The best modern theorist of Iranian Islam has been that “fun-loving,” Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. He deposed the Shah of Iran to set up an Islamic theocratic totalitarian state in Iran. With his approval, USA embassy personnel were taken hostage in 1979. He popularized the saying that America is the “Great Satan.” He also issued a fatwa, a religious edict, calling for the death of Muslim author, Salman Rushdie, because he wrote a novel about Muhammad’s alleged encounter with Satan (which the Qur'an itself describes, but from which Rushdie cannot describe even approvingly). And he turned Islamic jihadic terrorism into a formal, BIG business, funded by Iranian oil.
Far too few these days, writing about Islam, note or quote Khomeini. In fact, Iran as the West's foreign enemy number one, seems to be “under-the-radar” far too much. One Iranian author has written telling books about Khomeini and his Iran. Amir Taheri, an Iranian journalist, has has written about Khomeini’s decades-long struggle to seize power over Iran as a stepping stone to seizing power over the world. He poins out how Khomeini practiced deceptive techniques masterfully.
In addition to taqiyyah and kitman, Khomeini employed:
The Qur'an and other Islamic documents sanction Muslim deception against infidels (non-Muslims). Our take home lesson should be obvious:
Dedicated Islamists are true “shape-shifters,” a la Star Trek. They use these strategies and tactics on us continuously. Be vigilant always.

In addition to taqiyyah and kitman, Khomeini employed:
Khod’eh, “which means tricking one’s enemy into a misjudgement of one’s true position. Khomeini did not tell direct lies but used many half-truths based on well-established khod’eh tactics.” One of his many pledges was for female equality in Iran, which he qualified with phrases such as “in accordance with Islam.”
Tanfih, “which means misleading everyone about one’s true beliefs in a hostile environment.” These are the promises, such as UN nuclear regulatory compliance, made these days.
(From Amir Taheri, The Spirit of Allah: Khomeini and the
Islamic Revolution, Adler and Adler, ISBN: 0-917561-04-X, 1985.
Unfortunately, this book is out-of-print.)
The Qur'an and other Islamic documents sanction Muslim deception against infidels (non-Muslims). Our take home lesson should be obvious:
Believe nothing Islamists say or state in any form. Particularly, never believe any promise from them.
Whatever they say or do may serve to you in, so that you will drop your guard: Many of Muhammad’s targets were murdered in just this way.
Dedicated Islamists are true “shape-shifters,” a la Star Trek. They use these strategies and tactics on us continuously. Be vigilant always.
