Title:	A pass to lie if lying is expedient
	Taqiyya (or taqiyyah) is an Islamic term referring to the practice of concealing one's faith or religious identity to avoid imminent persecution or severe danger.   Primarily associated with Shi'ism due to historical persecution, it allows believers to act outwardly contrary to their beliefs to protect their lives.   It is not a general license to lie, but a rarely used emergency exception in situations of extreme threat.    -- You Tube
