This is often incorrectly referred to as Taqiyya. Lying is most often used to distort Islamic teachings, and also in the attempt to deceive people into believing that they are being persecuted around the world for their faith. This is particularly important to some Muslims, hoping to paint the persecutor as the persecuted and shifting focus away from the millions who face real persecution at the hands of Islam. It is also useful in creating an atmosphere of fear among the general Muslim population, gaining the sympathy of the West, and shaming vocal critics of Islam into silence. The most troubling aspect of Muslims "crying wolf" is not the extra cost to the tax-payers for wasted police time, resources etc., but the fact that the lives of many innocent non-Muslims would be, and no doubt have been, destroyed if their claims are believed.

This is particularly important to some of them, hoping to paint the persecutor as the persecuted and shifting focus away from the millions who face real persecution at the hands of Islam. According to FBI hate-crime statistics, hate crimes directed against Muslims "remain relatively rare" in the United states, with gays, lesbians and caucasians more frequently a target than the followers of Islam. Jewish victims of hate crimes also outnumber Muslim victims by a ratio of almost 9 to 1, and anti-Muslim incidents only account for a tiny 1.3% of all hate crimes. Even anti-Christian (Catholic/Protestant) incidents outnumber those perpetrated against Muslims in America. ([[Fake Anti-Muslim Hate Crimes and Other Lies|''read more'']])}}</option> |

Michael Jackson's alleged conversion to Islam
|
|
|
|
Many news sites carried the story that Michael Jackson had converted to Islam in 2008. Muslims then used this for propaganda purposes, spreading it through the blogosphere and user-contributed media sites like Youtube. The source given for this information was usually the New York Post article, however the original source is a notorious tabloid in the UK called "The Sun".
This article refutes all of the proofs that have been offered in support of Michael Jackson's alleged conversion to Islam, thus they must be discarded when researching the claim further. Once this has been done, we are left with nothing. There is absolutely no evidence that Michael Jackson converted to Islam; be it Nation of Islam or otherwise. (read more)
