BHO is a Muslim?

It is our responsibility to emulate Jesus Christ by our behaviour. That is a no-brainer.

In the midst of that, the Word tells us to be "wise as serpents and gentle as doves."

I am very well aware of the Islamic term, “Al-taqiyya". It means "dissimulation".

Muslims lie when it is in their interest to do so and “Allah” will not hold them accountable for lying when it is beneficial to the cause of Islam. A Muslim can lie without any guilt or fear of accountability or retribution. A lie in the defense of Islam is approved and even applauded in their “holy” books.

Muslims are permitted to lie: (1) to save their lives, (2) to reconcile a husband and wife, (3) to persuade a woman into a bedroom and (4) to facilitate someone on his journey.

Muslims are even permitted to disavow Islam and Mohammed if it is not a genuine heart-felt rejection. They will tell you that concealment of a truth is not an abandonment of that truth if it benefits Islam.

Muslims have no hope for eternal salvation without their good works, so they must keep working to advance Islam. If a few lies will accomplish that goal, then lying is not bad but good. If they can get good publicity for Islam by lying, then lying is acceptable, even desirable. The Muslim is earning his way to heaven by lying to a non-Muslim.

Now, there are some Muslims who do not follow the Koran and are as faithful Americans as any of us, but the problem is, we cannot know.

Yes, Christians have also lied but never are they given permission to lie. Working with a religion where it is permissible to lie is a very touchy and dangerous issue.

So, would you agree that it's a grevious sin for a Christian to lie about a politician they don't like?
