Taqiyya, in Islam, is the practice of concealing one's faith or religious identity as a form of self-protection from danger or persecution. Primarily associated with Shia Islam due to historical discrimination, the concept also finds justification under specific circumstances within Sunni Islam. Its roots trace back to early Islamic history when Muslims faced persecution and concealed their beliefs to avoid violence.
In 2008, Raymond Ibrahim published an article titled "Islam's doctrines of deception" in Jane's Islamic Affairs Analyst, presenting his translation of Sami Makarem's monograph on Taqiyya.
In 2009, Raymond Ibrahim responded to criticism of his views on Taqiyya with an article titled "Taqiyya Revisited: A Response to the Critics", published on his blog and the Middle East Forum website.
In 2019, Raymond Ibrahim was criticized by Islamic scholar Usama Hasan in the Jewish Chronicle. Ibrahim responded with a FrontPage Magazine article titled "Taqiyya Sunset: Exposing the Darkness Shrouding Islamic Deceit."
