Re: A simple example of taqiyya

I reply to Muhafidh April 9

You continue with your sophistical diversion. The issue is NOT the
authenticity or value of the hadith; it is the taqiyya - lying in the
interests of Islam (which is permitted to Muslims) - of the Saudi
Foreign Minister on the American media when he denied the existence of
the hadith which describes Jews hiding from the Muslims behind stones
and trees. You distract attention from this, knowing it  is very
damaging to Islam, by attempting to establish the reliability of the
hadith as the issue: this is a falsification.

I have no doubt that the hadith is fictitious: the hadith have little
historical value having appeared over night by the 100,000 - Bukhari
examined 600,000 - 150 to 300 years after the death of Muhammad. But
Muslims have accepted this hadith and still do.
