"taquia'-the moslem way of survival

without concluding if obama is a muslem i would like to pay attention to the fact that according to muslem tradition, it is allowed to lie and disguise oneself as a non-muslem in order to survive in a hostile culture. the american public is hostile to islam. this way of life is called-taquia- or taqiye: pretending to be someone else.
