London imam plays a good game of Taqiyya

I have pointed out here numerous times that Islamic doctrine requires Muslims to lie if they feel threatened.  Called taqiyya it is part of Islamic norms and as such cannot be denied.  It is particularly prevalent among imams and scholars of Islam residing in Western countries, as they try to show that Islam is that vaunted religion of peace we so desperately want it to be. 

This article by Andrew Gilligan shows how, through his multi-part expose' the local Muslims, through the local mosque, not only practice taqiyya but also how they blatantly lie to advance their agenda.  Muslims speak out of both sides of their mouths.  Not all, but enough to have questions about who are the white hats and who are the black hats. 

How do we know who is telling the truth, and who is practicing taqiyya?  You should not bet against the imam at the mosque.  Mosques here in the US are predominately controlled by the Wahabbi's in Saudi Arabia (appx 80%) and have been shown to preach hatred and intolerance.  There is no reason to think UK mosques are any different. 

This is Islam

East London Mosque keeps on lying

The East London Mosque, that legendary home of tolerance and moderation,  has condemned a series of posters which have appeared in its local area, Tower Hamlets, containing a Koranic invocation and declaring the borough a “gay-free zone.”

Dilowar Khan, the mosque’s director, was quoted in a council press release saying: “We stand together with our fellow citizens against all forms of hatred, including homophobia. We are committed to building strong and cohesive communities in Tower Hamlets, and our strength is that we will not let incidents of hate divide us.”
As so often, however, the East London Mosque speaks with forked tongue. Yesterday, it was due to demonstrate its deep commitment to “standing together against homophobia” by hosting a gala dinner with one Uthman Lateef, a homophobic preacher who has stated: “We don’t accept homosexuality… we hate it because Allah hates it.”

Blatant taqiyya.  And not a word of protest.  Sickening.

Mr Lateef is one of at least half a dozen homophobic preachers hosted or promoted by the East London Mosque, three of whom have been officially invited to deliver the Friday sermon. In 2007, as my Dispatches programme on the East London Mosque disclosed, a “Spot The Fag” contest was staged at the mosque. In recent years, there has been a sharp rise in homophobic hate crimes in Tower Hamlets – something which simply cannot be unconnected to the fact that hatred of gay people is allowed to be openly and regularly expressed inside one of the area’s most prominent institutions.

The technique of saying one thing designed to appeal to white liberals, while in fact doing the exact opposite, has been brought to a fine pitch by Islamists generally, and the East London Mosque in particular. The mosque’s idea of “standing against hatred” involves hosting literally dozens of hate, extremist and terrorist preachers on its premises – most famously, the al-Qaeda cleric Anwar al-Awlaki. It now claims to have banished hate preachers from its building – but, as this blog has documented, continues to welcome them almost every month.

Why does the East London Mosque tell such obvious lies? Simply, because lies work. There is a part of liberal white society which would rather ignore or deny the problem of extremism, hatred and bigotry in some parts of some Muslim communities. The lies give them a form of permission to do so.

Exactly right.  Read it all
