Will Iran abandonTaqiya by signing a nuclear treaty with the
The deadline in the nuclear talks between Iran and the West is fast approaching.
The self-imposed deadline was March 31, but it appears that agreement may not be
reached by that date. I would expect to have pronouncements that they’re making
progress that they need to extend the time needed to complete the agreement. I
believe that the President of United States will want this interim agreement to try to
convince the Congress of United States not to pass any more sanctions against Iran.
There has been a great deal of discussion of the terms and conditions of this
potential treaty. President Barack Obama announced this week that some of the
terms and conditions maybe held in secret and never disclose to the American
Congress or the American people. I am concerned that if we are not to know all the
terms then how will we know if they are in compliance with the accord. This paper
will not try to explore all the details, that maybe in this accord. What I want to
explore is the likelihood that Iran will in fact, honor its commitment when it signs
the document.
The vast majority of Americans do not understand many of the principles that are laws as
to how Muslims are to interact with infidels. Infidels are the rest of the world that is not
Muslim. The principles of behavior between Muslims and infidels are outlined in Sharia
law and the Quran. One of the guiding forces is called Taqiya. This principle is
sometimes referred to as dissimulation. Dissimulation, is a form of deception in which
one conceals the truth from another, in our case an infidel. It consists of concealing the
truth, or in the case of half-truths, concealing parts of the truth.
Muslims are taught from a very young age, that when they deal with infidels they do not
have to do what they have said they’re going to do. When Iranian says to the west, that
they do not want nuclear weapons, they just want to generate electrical power through the
use of nuclear energy, I believe they are invoking Taqiya. A Muslim learns to achieve
the goal by any means necessary including lying, misleading the infidel, all are
acceptable.
In trying to figure out what Iran will do after they sign the treaty, we have to ask will the
ayatollahs want the Iran Government to comply or will they tell leadership that under
Taqiya they are not bound by the terms and conditions of the treaty? The parties on the
other side of the table, I believe, have very little experience in negotiating with Muslims
and may in fact be incredibly naïve in believing that they will comply for 10 years. If you
believe that you are negotiating a good faith then you assume that the other party is also
negotiating in good faith. The Iranian side is agreeing with the west but knows it will not
comply.
Neville Chamberlain, representing the Allied Nations went to meet with Adolf Hitler and
came back with a signed agreement as to how the Nazis would behave. We know that
Hitler did not negotiate in good faith, but Chamberlin, left Hitler believing him at his
word. We were surprise when he didn’t live up to the terms and conditions of the
agreement. So, with Taqiya in place as a guiding principle for the Iranian negotiators
why should we trust them to comply with the treaty, especially if it doesn’t fit their goal.
George Santayana said, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat
it.”
To ignore the beliefs that drives the person you are negotiating with is a dangerous
position to take. Any treaty between Iran and the West, must have very specific terms and
conditions. It also must have specific actions taken by the west anytime Iran violates the
treaty. Continued violations of the terms and conditions of the treaty will result in more
severe economic sanctions. If the impositions of economic sanctions are not sufficient to
bring Iran into compliance with the terms of the treaty, then swift military action will be
necessary to degrade and destroy their nuclear capability.
Taqiya has been around for almost 1,300 years why should we believe that in this day
and time the Muslims on the other side of the table are going to abandon their way of life
when dealing with infidels. The stakes are so high, and the risk is so dangerous, that we
should be guided by the words of Ronald Reagan when he was associating a nuclear
treaty with the Russians what he said, “Trust but verify.” It we do not have the ability to
verify and specific actions to be taken against Iran government for noncompliance then
we should not sign this treaty.
Giving Iran the ability to build a nuclear bomb will results in an ultimatum to the world
“Convert or die”
