Taqiyaah is not Shia Concept, its Islamic Concept.

Hussain its funny you are named after the Grandson of Prophet (peace be upon them all) who we Shias claim to be our Imam but you are flatly rejecting your Prophets teachings. Taqiyaah is not Shia concept its and Islamic concept. Let me just give your proof, its upto you to take it or leave it. Next time be very very careful when out of your own ignorence you want to blame everything on Shias since EVERYTHING we shias claim is based on fiqh of Prophet and Quran and we can even produce proof from Sunni Sources for 95% of our "claims". Trust me i do a lot of reading.

YUSUFALI:
Any one who, after accepting faith in Allah, utters Unbelief,- except under compulsion, his heart remaining firm in Faith - but such as open their breast to Unbelief, on them is Wrath from Allah, and theirs will be a dreadful Penalty.

PICKTHAL:
Whoso disbelieveth in Allah after his belief - save him who is forced thereto and whose heart is still content with the Faith - but whoso findeth ease in disbelief: On them is wrath from Allah. Theirs will be an awful doom.

SHAKIR:
He who disbelieves in Allah after his having believed, not he who is compelled while his heart is at rest on account of faith- but he who opens (his) breast to disbelief-- on these is the wrath of Allah, and they shall have a grievous chastisement.

The Bee (106)-Al Quran.

THE TAQIYAAH IS EXACTLY WHAT THE ABOVE AYAYS SAY. IN ORDER TO PROTECT YOUR LIFE YOU CAN CLAIM TO BE A NON-MUSLIM UNDER COMPULSION. GO OPEN YOUR QURAN IF THIS AYAH IS IN IT, THEN ITS AN ISLAMIC CONCEPT, IF NOT THEN ITS SHIA CONCEPT......!
