In Islam taqiyya is a form of religious dissimulation, or a legal dispensation whereby a believing individual can deny his faith or commit otherwise illegal or blasphemous acts while they are at risk of significant persecution.
This practice was emphasized in Shi'a Islam whereby adherents may conceal their religion when they are under threat, persecution, or compulsion.Taqiyya was developed to protect Shi'ites who were usually in minority and under pressure. The term taqiyya does not exist in Sunni jurisprudence. In the Sunni view, denying faith under duress is "only at most permitted and not under all circumstances obligatory". However, there are examples of practicing taqiyya among Sunnis where it was necessary.
In face of persecution and death, deception seems an acceptable form of strategy. However, since the concept has been incorporated in religion, it eventually gets used to mask human frailties, greed, expansionism (land and Islam) and worse. It is now believed people that Islamists lie and cheat to the Kafirs (non-believers) to spread their religion, carry out their Jihad and other activities using Taqiyya as an excuse. Why else would something initiated by the Shias become acceptable to the Sunnis?
Now why would Islamists practice Taqiyya? It could be that it suits their selfish reasons or that they have an agenda worth lying and cheating. Now a cult leader who has to brainwash followers would resort to his own brand of Taqiyya. These cult leaders honestly believe in their agenda and thus feel justified in lying and cheating. For them the all important end justifies any and every means.
One such cult leader is Arvind Kejriwal. Why am I calling him a cult leader? It is because if you talk to multiple AAP followers, they spout off exactly the same issues, theories and solutions. It is almost like there is a book somewhere or a grand priest (Arvind Kejriwal) who teaches them answers to political FAQs.
The most recent expose where Kejriwal is colluding with a pliant media person to “fix” and interview clearly shows that contempt he has for the middle class (ironically these are the people who voted for him in Delhi and now the country is paying for their sins). His numerous u-turns, double speak on free market; votebank politics (reaching out to some of the most virulent mullahs) betray a much deeper and a sinister agenda. You get a glimpse of this agenda when his minions talk about surrendering J&K or supporting the Maoists or known terrorists (like Afzal Guru). It is increasingly becoming clear to all but the cult followers that Kejriwal, the self professed anarchist, is a virulent communist for whom his vision of India has to be achieved no matter what the cost and sacrifice. The anti-corruption campaign is just a ruse which he stole from Anna Hazare. In fact everything about this man is a lie. A trivial example of his deception is that he lives in a house worth well over a crore and he wears a plastic sandal in winter. That is not simplicity; that is a carefully cultivated image (like Lalloo Yadav rustic haircut) to fool his cult followers. As the Urdu poet Abdullah Kamaal says in the following couplet:
mai.n ne apane chehare pe sab hunar sajaaye the
faash kar gayaa mujh ko saadaa pairahan meraa
[faash = reveal; pairahan = shirt / dress]
His latest stunt in Mumbai where his so called Aam Aadmi act brought a bustling Mumbai economy to a halt is another example of his reckless hypocrisy. The real aam aadmi is paying dearly for Arvind Kejriwal’s aam aadmi act.
SZ Ahmad in an article extolling Kejriwal says that Kejriwal is a true Muslim, that he has learnt everything from Islam, that he thanks Allah for blessings bestowed, that even though a Hindu, Kejriwal is a true Muslim. Whether I agree with anything that Ahmad says, I certainly agree with one thing. Kejriwal has picked up stuff from Quran i.e. Al Taqiyya. This man is going to lie and cheat to get what he wants. I don’t know about the positive stuff but Kejriwal has certainly picked that from Islam.
Delhi voters and the Indian media pimps have created a monster which cannot be contained anymore. It is also clear that his brain washed cult will swallow whatever he spits out. It is up to the rest of us to ensure that this man is denied the publicity he so craves and eventually consigned to the dustbin of history.
Every Indian who is not a politician or a babu wants corruption to be eradicated. You do not have to be an anarchist or a communist to be an anti corruption crusader. Even the worst of his detractors has not called Narendra Modi corrupt (except for High priest and Pope Kejriwal who is going around certifying various people and assessing development). Because of his personal integrity, people around Modi are forced to stay clean. That is the real solution to corruption.
I would not advice it but if you have to read it then SZ Ahmad’s article can be read at:
