Americans don’t like being lied to. It’s contrary to our values, traditions and role models (notably, George Washington and the legendary cherry tree). We don’t appreciate being duped by hucksters, con men or enemies.

By contrast, sharia-adherent Muslims are commanded to lie to infidels if it advances Islam. This practice is known as taqiyya. And renowned Islam scholar Raymond Ibrahim observes, “According to the authoritative Arabic text, Al-Taqiyya Fi Al-Islam: ‘Taqiyya [deception] is of fundamental importance in Islam. Practically every Islamic sect agrees to it and practices it. We can go so far as to say that the practice of taqiyya is mainstream in Islam, and that those few sects not practicing it diverge from the mainstream…Taqiyya is very prevalent in Islamic politics, especially in the modern era.’”

In other words, sharia-adherent Muslims are obliged to seek that strategy-for-conquest’s triumph worldwide – and must lie to infidels about such an outcome being the goal for which they must strive.

Therefore, they cannot faithfully take an oath of office to support and defend the U.S. Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land. Their lying is the more certain if they swear such an oath on a book, the Koran, that obliges them to lie to unbelievers.

This BanSharia.com webinar examines the contemporary practice of taqiyya; its centrality to sharia’s successful infiltration of Western nations; and the danger posed by the growing number of its adherents and Marxist-jihadists who are getting elected across the country thanks, among other things, to the Muslim Brotherhood’s “Election Jihad” and its finessing of hard questions about such Muslims’ disloyalty to America.

We also address whether fraudulently taking an oath of office for any elective or appointed position in the United States should be disqualifying. Should those who have done so be removed from office? And must those seeking to do so be deemed ineligible to serve?
