Your routine reminder that "taqiyya" as a concept is popularized by the Right and is relatively unknown among Muslims.https://twitter.com/SaltyandLit/status/1154025709297373184 …

You are right, and I would add that it *is* a hoax in the sense many right-wingers use it, that is to say, as a general permissiveness of deceit in Islam for political control. Everything I've read has only allowed it in a very specific context.
Yes, that’s true. Lying is generally considered wrong, unless the ends justify the means...so deception/lying is allowed as long as it’s for a ‘good’ reason. And, of course, it is always permissible in jihad/times of war as many battle stories illustrate.

That’s why, like a lot of things in Islam, it’s a very subjective grey area. Having said that, most claims of ‘taqiyya’ on the Internet are used incorrectly. Muslims, like all religious ppl, tell partial truths to protect the reputation of their religion-but that’s not taqiyya.
