Der er et meget stort  potentiale i Tyskland for at danne et nyt parti til højre for CDU. 20 procent ville stemme på et sådant parti, fremgår det af en Emnid måling for FOKUS magazinet, 74 ville ikke, 6 undlod at svare på rundspørgen. Flere yngre end ældre ville gerne se  sådan et parti dannet.  Mens 27 procent af de indtil 30 årige, ville stemme på partiet, ville kun 16 procent af de over 65 årige. Deutsche würde neue Rechtspartei wählen (Snaphanens  oversættelse)

Taysir: Her-og-nu moderation, sharia stadig målet

Begrebet taysir, der betyder lovlig slækkelse af islamiske leveregler når man er under pres, er nyt for mig, men man lærer altid noget af at læse Raymond Ibrahim. At der skulle være en særlig dogmatik tilknyttet det vi sagtens kan læse ud af diverse muslimske talsmænds udtalelser er selvfølgelig ikke spor overraskende. Når Abdul Wahid Pedersen ikke vil tage afstand fra stening, men slår knuder på sig selv ved at bedyre at det ikke er aktuelt i dagens Danmark – og i andre udtalelser har erklæret at Danmark vil blive en shariastat – så kræver det kun almindeligt åbne øjne at konkludere at hans bedyringer er komplet ubrugelige forsikringer for vores fremtid, og at hans afstandstagen er noget rent taktisk. Dette er taysir (LFPC).

[…] Lest it be abused, Qaradawi warned that taysir should only be used as needed, based on the vicissitudes of time and chance. In other words, Muslims should not actively seek the easy way, but rather, when uncontrollable circumstances create hardships, Muslims are free to opt for the easy way — as long as they recognize that the “hard way” (i.e., total implementation of Sharia) is the ideal way. […]

The most significant point of the program came when Qaradawi said that taysir is especially needed in “this era” and “especially for those Muslim minorities living in Europe and America.”

Now, why is that? For starters, by migrating to the West of their own free will, Muslims themselves — not “uncontrollable circumstances” — create the need for taysir. Moreover, Western religious freedom allows Muslims to uphold Islam’s fundamental Five Pillars: Muslims can proclaim the shahada (profession of faith), pray, fast, give zakat (except to terrorists), and go on the hajj. So what, exactly, is Sheikh Qaradawi referring to that makes living in the West especially hard on Muslims?

The answer is obvious: Qaradawi is referring to those other aspects of Sharia law — you know, subjugation of non-Muslim infidels, absolute authority over women, jihad, draconian punishments, and all the rest —that do create “hardships” for Muslims who try to implement them in the West, for instance, by getting them arrested and imprisoned.

In other words, far from “liberalizing” Muslim life, taysir allows only for insincere conformity. As Qaradawi made clear, to practice taysir is not to renounce Sharia’s otherwise harsh obligations; it is to put them on hold till circumstances are more accommodating. […]

A final observation: the notorious doctrine of taqiyya, which permits Muslims to deceive non-Muslims, is rooted in taysir; in fact, one of the few books devoted to the topic, al-Taqiyya fi al-Isalm, rationalizes taqiyya in light of taysir. And there it is: when Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, perhaps the most authoritative Muslim voice in Sunni Islam today, calls on Muslims “especially in Europe and America” to practice taysir, he is, in essence, calling on them to practice taqiyya — calling on them to conform outwardly to Western standards while inwardly maintaining loyalty to Sharia.
