WHY A DEAL WITH IRAN WON'T WORK

Currently, the Congress is debating the deal worked out with Iran by John Kerry and the President.  No deal should be considered by anyone who does not understand two words:  HUDNA AND TAQIYYA.  If you don't understand those words, you aren't qualified to negotiate with Iran or any other entity governed by Islamic clerics.  Hudna and Taqiyya are fundamental Islamic strategies governing how muslims deal with agreements with Kafirs (infidels).  They have been a part of Islam since the days of Muhammad.

Here is the history of Hudna:  When Muhammad and his small band of followers were forced to move from Mecca to Yathrib (Medina) due to the negative reaction to his message and the loss of protection due to the death of his wife and uncle, he set up raiding bands to rob caravans going in and out of Mecca .  The move was called the Hijra.  The bands were initially successful and raised finances for Muhammad's followers.  But, the leaders of Mecca eventually responded and attacked Muhammad's forces.  When Muhammad saw he was losing the conflict, he negotiated a treaty with his opponents in Mecca.  He agreed to cease the raids if the opponents would observe a peace.  Muhammad used the calm to regroup his forces, build his arsenal, and plan a surprise attack.  When the forces in Mecca were enjoying the peace and calm, Muhammad attacked and inflicted a crushing blow.  The leaders of Mecca cried foul.  Muhammad had violated the treaty.  Muhammad's response was that he had outsmarted them with "Hudna".  After all, they had rejected his teachings and deserved what they received because they were Kafirs.  Hudna has been an vital doctrine of Islamic diplomacy ever since.  The bottom line is that Iran has no intention of observing the agreement.  That would violate centuries of policy.  Those who negotiate Hudna are seen in Iran as heroes who outsmarted the ignorant Kafirs and followed the example of Muhammad.. which is the most righteous thing a muslim can do.  So, the agreement has no value.  

Taqiyya is directly related to Hudna.  It is the righteous deception to advance Islam.  It is the ancient practice of lying to Kafirs to advance Islam.  To do so is the height of righteousness because Muhammad did it.  For example, if a muslim goes on TV and says Islam means peace, that's Taqiyya.  The Arabic root of "Islam" is not Salaam, but Aslama, which means submission and surrender.  Islam means submission, not peace.  But, a devout muslim can deceive Kafirs if they perceive it will benefit Islam.  It is morally fine for them to do so because it has been practiced for centuries and is a vital part of their mores.  You can see how the practice of Taqiyya would impact negotiations.
