Islamic teaching permits deceits, ruses, and dispensations. For an in depth examination, read about the doctrines of taqiyya, tawriya, and taysir. Then there is Islam’s overarching idea of niyya (or “intention”), best captured by the famous Muslim axiom, “necessity makes permissible the prohibited.” From here one may understand the many incongruities of Islam:
(1) Lying is forbidden—unless the intention is to empower Islam.
(2) Killing women and children is forbidden—but permissible during the Jihad.
(3) Suicide is forbidden—unless the intention is to kill Infidels, in which case it becomes a “martyrdom operation.”
