"Let not the believers Take for friends or helpers Unbelievers rather than believers: if any do that, in nothing will there be help from Allah: except by way of precaution (prevention), that ye may Guard yourselves from them (prevent them from harming you.) But Allah cautions you (To remember) Himself; for the final goal is to Allah." Surah 3: 28 Islam does agree with you it seems, as above Sura explains. It is OK to lie as a "precaution(prevention), that ye may Guard yourselves from them." Now isn't that what the MILF is doing, now tell me. It even advices believers (muslims) not to take for friends unbelievers (i.e. christians). I do not insult the muslims, they are human beings and I respect them, they are children of God and He loves them too. But the truth is the truth. I do not call muslims liars, I said it is permissible under Islam to lie. I get that you are a christian, and I admire you for your friendship with muslims. But as a christian it is your responsiblity to let them know about the truth. If they are really friends you have nothing to be afraid from them.

I am from Mindanao and I am not a Muslim but I have lived with Muslims for twenty years now. Llying is a crime to Islam. Also, when you call someone a Muslim, that person is follower of Al'lah and followed the Qu'ran wholeheartedly. To say that believers of Islams are liars is insulting. Where did you got that excerpt?. Is that really from Qu'ran? Please remember that CONTEXT is very important. Islam does not permit lying. I am from Mindanao and I am not a Muslim but I have lived with Muslims for twenty years now.

So what the MILF is doing is really true to form. Lying and murder is allowable in Islam, to wit: "Who is willing to kill Ka'b bin Al-Ashraf who has hurt Allah and His Apostle?" Thereupon Muhammad bin Maslama got up saying, "O Allah's Apostle! Would you like that I kill him?" The Prophet said, "Yes," Muhammad bin Maslama said, "Then allow me to say a (false) thing (i.e. to deceive Kab). "The Prophet said, "You may say it." ... (Sahih al-Bukhari 5.369, cf. the article on Ka'b bin Al-Ashraf for further details) The truth is Islam does permit muslims to lie to non-believers, like christians, in order to gain the advantage.
