So the examples given are just a sample from a broader rule that you haven't really defined here? How broad are these rules? Are the examples you gave deceptive in that they exagerate the specificity of the rules?

Duh.

Actually, I am seeking details that should be out in the open. The problem is that the details that are out in the open (eg yaddas websites) are often wrong, in the sense that they are not representative, while those who do know what Islam is all about seem to try to hide the details. So there is this conflict between those who would reveal the truth about Islam and those who believe it. I would much prefer you were open and honest about Islam, but you have decided that being open and honest would further my goals, so you can't be. So we are in this absurd position where you avoid the questions that are closest to the truth and only respond to those that are far enough away from the truth to give you leaway in how you choose to answer. To get to the truth I must follow up on the questions you choose not to answer, as those always seem to end up being the most interesting ones. That's why I put together the wiki, to capture those moments when you give the answer to interesting questions.

Do you have an opinion on whether it has a scriptural basis?

They are general rules, with an example given in all 3 cases. Either way, no matter whether it fits into those categories or not  is irrelevant. The initial point was that lying about the teachings of Islam is not permitted in any situation, which is what Yadda et al claim "al-Taqiyyah" is, when it clearly is not.

Lying to save one's life may also fall under the general permission to do generally forbidden actions, in order to save one's life. Such as eat pork or drink alcohol.

This is just not true at all fd. I've never lied, nor concealed anything from you about Islamic teachings. You are just paranoid and suspicious, and your paranoia has been combined with the lies Yadda et al have fed you, leaving you doubting every single discussion that takes place, searching high and low for hidden meanings and omitted details etc. Demanding that everything you ask is immeediately answered, and charging that not volunteering things which you never even asked about is a lie of omission.

Quote:


Those those three examples weren't meant to contradict the claim about lying? They were just a distraction? Why don't you give the general rules and let others decide for themselves what they mean?

Quote:


You have openly refused to answer my questions, not on the grounds that you were unable to, but on the grounds that I might use it against you.

You also managed to cocneal the issue of concubines for example, for a very long time, by claiming that muslims may not have extramarital sex. That was blatant deception, and you kept it up for a very long time and did your best to avoid confirming our suspicions when the truth finally came out. You kept up that charade for months.

Are you suggesting that my suspicions are unwarranted after going through that saga?
