Taqiyya, primarily practiced in Shia Islam, involves concealing one's religious beliefs or practices. This dissimulation is employed to avoid persecution or harm. While rooted in specific historical and theological contexts, taqiyya allows individuals to outwardly conform to prevailing norms or beliefs while maintaining their faith internally. It is a complex concept with varying interpretations regarding its permissibility and scope within Islamic jurisprudence.
In 2008, Raymond Ibrahim published an article titled "Islam's doctrines of deception" in Jane's Islamic Affairs Analyst. The article featured his translation of a portion of Sami Makarem's "Al Taqiyya Fi Al Islam".
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 for his view on Taqiyya. Ibrahim responded with "Taqiyya Sunset: Exposing the Darkness Shrouding Islamic Deceit" in a FrontPage Magazine article.
