There are no lack of Islam authoratative sources. Major example:

"Speaking is a means to achieve objectives. If a praiseworthy aim is attainable through both telling the truth and lying, it is unlawful to accomplish through lying because there is no need for it. When it is possible to achieve such an aim by lying but not by telling the truth, it is permissible to lie if attaining the goal is permissible."
- Imam Al-Ghazali, as quoted by Ahmad ibn Naqib al-Misri, The Reliance of the Traveller, translated by Nuh Ha Mim Keller, (Amana publications, 1997), section r8.2, p 745

Do you wish to debate the popularity, reverance and acceptance of al-Misri's book in the Islamic world? Or that of Imam Al-Ghazali? Or that of the book Reliance of the Traveller?

I fully believe you say what you mean and mean what you say. But who is your authority? Give us a hint. Show us why Rockstar is wrong, based on the very religious sources you believe in.

But heck, keep on ranting that all we Muslims are liers and that there is some great big conspiracy that we are all going to take over the world, yada yada yada. Yawn.
Conspiracy? This is what Islamic religious leaders all over the world keep on saying and they are no longer shy about boasting it among English speaking publics. So forgive us for believing your co-religionists.

How any of what you say has to do with 20,000 people conducting a peaceful march in Paris I don't know. Thread hijacking perhaps.
No but the world is being hijacked, bit by bit.

Edit: Avon Lady to reply with long post and lots of links as sure as is death and taxes.
Live long and prosper!

Did you ever realize that Mr. Spock's blessing is the maximal antidote to death and taxes? Think about it.
