1. 4:144
This verse advises Muslims to prioritize loyalty within the community during a time of external threats. It is not a general prohibition but a caution in the context of potential betrayal.
2. 77:16
This refers to historical examples of past communities who faced consequences for rejecting divine guidance. It is a reminder of accountability, not a universal statement against non-believers.
3. 8:15
This verse gives instructions for battle, emphasizing courage and discipline during wartime. It applies to specific combat situations, not everyday relations with non-believers.
4. 5:41
This verse addresses the Prophet’s grief over those who rejected faith and distorted divine teachings. It critiques dishonesty and insincerity, not all members of specific groups.
5. 3:141
This verse speaks about trials that distinguish true believers and cleanse the community of wrongdoing. It emphasizes spiritual growth, not indiscriminate judgment of disbelievers.
You seem to be making an accusation that Muslims widely practice "taqiyya" to deceive others. This is a baseless and Islamophobic trope. In mainstream Islam, lying is unequivocally condemned and considered an act of hypocrisy. While there is a narrow and rare historical exception permitting concealment of faith to protect one’s life under extreme duress, most Muslims have never encountered or practiced this concept. Ironically, those spreading this accusation often seem to know more about it than the Muslim communities they malign.
