1. Koffar
(unbelievers) do not have a right to know what Islam teaches.
2. It is sinful for
Muslims to take non-Muslims as friends or protectors unless it is for the
purpose of using the non-Muslims to accomplish the goals of Islam. It is not a
sin if Muslims “make taqiyya” – use deception – to protect themselves or Islam.
3. Muslims must lie if
it is the only way to achieve an obligatory goal of Islam, especially the
maqasid al-sharia, the ultimate goal.
4. The most important
goal Muslims must achieve is to spread deen, the worship of Allah through
Islam.
5. It is sinful for
Muslims to allow non-Muslims to look down on Muslims or Islam in any way.
6. Finally, the
purpose of ghayra violence [up to and including honor killing] is to al-amr bi
al-ma’ruf wa al-nahy ‘an al-munkar – to enjoin good and forbid evil as defined by the moral rules of sharia.
