Taqiyya is the Islamic practice of pious deception. It can take the form of concealing the full truth (omission) or telling non-believers only what they want to hear (concealment). Taqiyya is as basic to Islam as the Ten Commandments are to Christianity. Taqiyya is the "Fifth Column of the Islam", to protect Allah, Muhammad and the Koran from skeptics and critics. It is anathema to all other religions. It is hard for non-Muslims to understand that it actually exists, and is used to convince us that we are the problem and she is the victim.
