#1 Taqiyya allows for Khomeini, Rafsanjani, et al to contradict each other, utterly and completely, within mere weeks. That is one handy-dandy Foreign Policy Tool. One size fits all situations and feeds billions. Spiffy.

#2 Weeks hell. They can speak out of both sides their mouth in the same sentence without the slighest pang of conscience. All is permitted to advance islam.

#4 "Taqiyya allows for Khomeini, Rafsanjani, et al to contradict each other, utterly and completely, within mere weeks."

As opposed to politicians of other religions that never contradict themselves at all.

#9 The Mullahs Iran may go to war but I wonder if the people of Iran will follow. It would be a good ploy if W could get the military to mobilize for war then and convince them the smart thing would be to turn on the Mullahs.

Most of them don't claim to be speaking for the man upstairs, though.
