“Truth” is often no more than a tool to manipulate. In fact,
people are no longer outraged by the distortion of the truth for propagandistic
purposes. For instance, one church bulletin included “A Message from New York
City Muslim Leaders,” reading:
·
“The Majlis condemns the horrific attacks in
Paris over the weekend on Islamic grounds… Like natural disaster, terrorism
does NOT DISCRIMINATE based on religion, race, gender or age whether
perpetrated by a state, group or individual. The world witnessed this type of INDISCRIMINATE
BLOODSHED last week not only in Paris but also in Beirut, Kenya, Iraq and other
places around the world.”
On the contrary, the terror was Islamic, it was discriminate
against non-Muslims, as even the assailants cried out “Allahu Akbar,” and it
does “discriminate based on religion.” The recent examples of this are in the
hundreds.
It would have been more reassuring if, instead, these Muslim
leaders had said, “We grieve that these assaults have been conducted in the
name of Islam,” but they wouldn’t admit even that much. Either way, this is
consistent with their doctrine of “Taqiyya,” which authorizes the Muslim to deceive
the infidel, even with false shows of friendship.
However, what is doubly troubling is this – that there are churches
that show so little regard for the truth, that they are complicit in this very
obvious deception.
