===Does WikiIslam claim that Taqiyya allows Muslims to lie whenever they want?===
No. Taqiyya does not mean "lying in Islam". It only refers to a specific doctrine, a predominantly Shi'ite one, used by Shi'ites in order to save their own lives or avoid some other form of severe persecution (often, historically, at the hands of Sunnis). Many tend to conflate this doctrine with that of lying in general, leading to the mislabeling of all forms of religious lying as an example of "taqiyya" (See, "[[Taqiyya]]" and "[[Qur'an, Hadith and Scholars:Lying and Deception|Qur'an, Hadith and Scholars: Lying and Deception]]" for more information on this subject).
