The fact is that not only CAIR but the whole fundamentalist islamic religious hierarchy practices islamic rule of "taqiyya" or deceit. According to taqiyya Islam allows misinformation and deceit if it helps islam and muslims. Preachers and religious leaders practice it daily by only quoting the hadiths about the prophet and quranic ayas which are good and never quoting the ones which gives bad impression. In my 50 years of being a muslim, I never heard any religious leader quote any of the the following (and many such) hadiths. .

Sunan Abu -Dawud,4390

"Narrated Atiyyah al-Qurazi:
I was among the captives of Banu Qurayzah. They (the prophet's Companions) examined us, and those who had begun to grow hair (pubes) were killed, and those who had not were not killed. I was among those who had not grown hair."

Sahih Bukhari vol 5, Bk 59 No. 512:

The Prophet had their warriors killed, their offspring and woman taken as captives. Safiya was amongst the captives, She first came in the share of Dahya Alkali but later on she belonged to the Prophet .

Sahih Bukhari Vol 3, Bk 46 No. 717
Narrated Ibn Aun:
Prophet had suddenly attacked Bani Mustaliq without warning while they were heedless and their cattle were being watered at the places of water. Their fighting men were killed and their women and children were taken as captives; the Prophet got Juwairiya on that day."

Sahih Bukhari,Vol 4, Bk 52, Number 280:

Narrated Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri:
Sad said, "I give the judgment that their warriors should be killed and their children and women should be taken as prisoners." The Prophet then remarked, "O Sad! You have judged amongst them with the judgment of the King Allah."

Sahih Bukhari, Vol 4, Bk 52 Number220

"Allah's Apostle said, ‘I have been made victorious with terror.'"

Hiding these hadiths from muslims and non muslims is called "taqiyya".That is what is practised by CAIR when they hide or deliberately misinform.

Daniel Pipes replies:

Taqiyya is a Shi`i concept and involves self-preservation; it is not a general Islamic justification of lying.
