I will not get into debate over terms that will always end up being a matter of interpretation. As my Sufi teacher says... "words do not contain the meaning." Look deeper, from within your heart -- not from your brain, not from your stomach where fear resides. Let go of judgment by friend. There is so much more to life.
And I wonder who wrote this. Context matters. Motives matter. Personal perspective and interpretation matter. Is there a political agenda? If you look for the worst, you'll find it. If you look for the best, you'll find it. Do you want confirmation of your stance, or are you looking for "truth." If you're looking for truth, who's truth?
Oh good! Now tell everyone what taqiyya means.
