Taqiya Tulsi

dharmabum
Shameless Tulsi continues to peddle her misleading "I am Hindu" mantra... Her anti-ISIS stance is an oxymoron -- the belief system she grew up into is really no different -- the only difference is that the radical islamists are very blunt about harming people who don't share their core belief, the Haribols are lacking balls (for now).
Another similarity she shares with the Islamists is the concept of
taqiya.Quote
In Shi'a Islam, taqiya is a form of religious lie,
[1] or a legal dispensation whereby a believing individual can deny his faith or commit otherwise illegal or blasphemous acts, specially while they are in fear or at risk of significant persecution.
[2] A similar concept in Sunni Islam is known as idtirar "coercion". A related concept is known as kitman "concealment; dissimulation by omission". Also related is the concept of hiyal, legalistic deception practiced not necessarily in a religious context but to gain political or legalistic advantage.
I have no problem with a person's religion or beliefs. I don't care who they sleep with. When it comes to politicians, I look at what they support, what they vote on, and what measurable results they get. I actually like a lot of what Tulsi has done and what she supports. I see that she is a talented administrator and politician. But she and her father have been singularly deceptive about their connection to Chris Butler. The only reason that they are not open about it is because of Chris Butler's fears and paranoia. He has ordered everyone to never mention that he is their guru, their LORD.

(see Rama's previous post about his boyhood life on the "SITE".)
While "On Site" I noticed at the warehouse that literally every piece of paper was shredded before going in the trash.
I was totally baffled, and asked what the point was, as it was going in the trash anyway.
They explained that it was very very important that there be no chance an outsider could rummage through the trash and find something that referenced "Srila Prabhupada" Chris Butler.
The ultimate danger was that this outsider then proceeds to say bad things about Chris Butler, it was the disciples duty and responsibility to make sure nothing negative gets said about Chris Butler.
It is not about religious freedom. If Tulsi wants to identify as being a Hindu...I don't care. But it is the lies of omission that "smells like a rat". The sad reality is that this woman could be a good leader, but Chris Butler will destroy her career before he allows any one to acknowledge his existance and undue influence.
I don't care if Tulsi is straight or gay, married or single as long as she doesn't cheat,lie, or deceive.
I don't care if she gets advice from a preist, a mullah, a rabbi, or a yogi as long as she doesn't lie or decieve. She is a public servant, but secretly is Butler's. Butler's wishes will always trump these United States or the will of the people. No one wants a stealth religious fanatic in our government who either wants to undermine our democracy and way or life, or is in a vulnerable position to be blackmailed with the secret.
What matters is the extreme and generational levels of deception that has been employed to cover up Tulsi Gabbard's connection to Chris Butler and the Science of Identity Foundation. Not just Tulsi, but all of the Butler puppet politicians from Wayne Nishiki, Rick Reed, to Mike Gabbard. They have all been forced to decieve the public at Butler's orders.
This is so insane. Corboy begs the question in several posts, how can a person indoctrinated in this system be a true representative in a modern democracy? Their whole life and modus operandi is antithetical to democracy.
The problem with the media is that they get stuck on the idea of religous freedom and stop short of really investigating the true deceptions out of laziness and fear of litigation.
