    This is an aspect of Mohammedanism that Christians not familiar with its tactics need to understand. It is called taqiyya, in effect Koran-sanctioned lying in order to gain advantage for Islam over "enemies" (i.e. everyone in the world who is not a Muslim). Muslim apologists in the US constantly resort to taqiyya to confuse and fool the kafir (non-Muslims). Considering what I hear in speeches by our pols and prelates lately, this Muslim disingenuousness appears to have been very successful.
