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.

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> |

A number of converts to Islam have appeared in the media due to their involvement in terrorism or terrorist organizations. Although terrorism is not exclusive to the Islamic ideology, it should be noted that a disproportionate number of terrorists are Muslims who are motivated by the teachings of Islam. Many converts to Islam are more zealous than those who are born into it; learning as much about their new found faith as they can. When they do that, the only conclusion that they can draw is that Islam's deity endorses terrorism and rewards the terrorists. The hate for non-Muslims found in Islam is quickly picked up by those who convert to it. As a result, these converts often turn to the practice or support of terrorism and violence; often showing hatred for their own countries, people, and their former way of life. (read more)
