A hadith has Muhammad granting permission to lie “in battle, for bringing reconciliation amongst persons and the narration of the words of the husband to his wife, and the narration of the words of a wife to her husband (in a twisted form in order to bring reconciliation between them).” (Muslim 6303)
In this case, the permission to lie “in battle” is what is operative: Bilal Abood is lying to the enemy in wartime.
“Mesquite man who pledged allegiance to ISIS sentenced to 4 years in prison,” by Kevin Krause, Dallas Morning News, May 25, 2016:
A Mesquite man who lied to the FBI about pledging allegiance to an Islamic State terrorist leader was sentenced Wednesday to four years in federal prison.
Bilal Abood, 38, a former U.S. military translator, admitted he lied to the FBI about traveling to Syria and sending a tweet pledging allegiance to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of Islamic State, or ISIS.
The only question for U. S. District Judge Ed Kinkeade on Wednesday was whether Abood’s motive was terrorism.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Mark Penley argued that it was and asked for the maximum of eight years. He has said in court filings that Abood’s real reason for trying to travel abroad was to wage jihad and die a martyr.
Kinkeade said Abood made “abominable” comments in his tweets. But he agreed with his defense attorney that there was no evidence suggesting Abood was planning a terrorist attack.
The judge called Abood a “goofball” and an “odd character” who did some stupid things. But he said he thinks Abood is a “misguided kind of fellow who’s not going to act on things.”
Tweets and insults
Abood, 38, pleaded guilty in October to one count of making a false statement to a federal agency.
Abood told Kinkeade on Wednesday that he copied and pasted other people’s tweets to join online insults between the Sunni and Shia, Islam’s two largest groups. Abood, an Iraqi-born Sunni who is now an American citizen, said his tweets were intended to “piss off” the Shia posters.
“Sir, I love my country,” he told the judge. “I did more than a lot of people who live here.”
Abood’s attorney, Heath Hyde, said his client will probably get out of prison after serving about two years since Kinkeade gave him credit for the 14 months he’s already spent behind bars since his arrest.
Testimony on Wednesday revealed that the FBI initially considered hiring Abood to provide them with intelligence about what was going on in Syria. But an agent testified that after evaluating Abood, they determined he was not trustworthy and posed a threat.
The agent said Abood showed a pattern of deceit the entire time he’s known him….
“War is deceit,” said Muhammad (Bukhari 52.269).

Walter Sieruk says
There is the Islamic doctrine that is termed Taqiyya. This is the Islamic dogma that lying and deception is a good thing to do as long as it’s for the advancement of Islam. So that Texas Muslim man must have felt that he was “doing the right thing” By his lying for Islam. In contrast to this the Christian Bible teaches in Ephesians 4:25. “Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man true with his neighbor…” [K.J.V.] Also, the God of the Bible declared in his the liars will not enter into heaven but instead thrown into the Lake of Fire.,Revelations 21:8.What an outstanding difference between Bible teaching and Islamic teaching on the subject of lying. Furthermore, of all the outstanding thing this Texas man by his “pledging allegiance” to the Islamic “state” and then lying is something he may have had been very serious about. So he might in his Islamic deception be sincere. Sincere but wrong. Very wrong. Likewise he would then in his terribly deluded Islamic way of thinking had and still have “good intentions.” As strange as this may be. This therefore serves as an example of the falsehood folly and foolishness on the saying which is ‘”It doesn’t matter what you believe as long as your sincere.” What an outlandishly nonsensical saying.As this above article shows it matter very much what a person believes. By contrast a true saying is that “The road to heel is paved with good intentions.”

But of course what a person believe is important . I was always hit by this next example.
from
For centuries , Chineese knew that there was coal under their feet but their religious beliefs told them no one should go in the ground to get anything. Dragons could come out of it and kill them.
One day , someone decide this has run enough and he decided to use coal sot to heat their house and for cooking instead of dying. This show the importance od beliefs in one’s life.
Psycho-analysis show me how my beliefs and especially my unconcious beliefs runs my life and how it was important to know them so not to be tricked by them .
One day my cousin ask her mother how come her dad was dressed like he was . Her mother told her it was because he was back from work at the paper mill. Another day , my cousin ask again how come dad was wearing a white shirt and a tie . My aunt would tell her that it was because he was back from church .
My cousin maried a man that was working hard with his hand and come back home in constructions clothes because , for her, that is the way a real men dress, like his father. For her , a man that come back home in a white shirt and a tie cannot be a real man. Real men come back home dressed as construction workers.
We all have such assumptions and it often take to be confronted by another situation to opened up our eyes.
What are your unconscious ideas ? Does it help you in life or does it limits you ?

Indeed, Walter, great comment. Yeah lying is allah approved; and you don’t even have to be a Christian–or have read the Bible, to know that lying is unmistakably *wrong*! ..and yet mohammedans do it without reservation with what appears to be a seared conscience. And of course we both know that allah is NOT the God of the Bible–he’s satan:

A muslim lied? To an infidel? I’m shocked. SHOCKED!!!
John A. Marre says
Islam promotes the violent overthrow of the US government. All its proponents need to be stripped of their citizenship.
Walter Sieruk says
To both Camel and Champ and whoever else… ,To give only one further example of the complete falseness of the saying “It doesn’t matter want you believe as long as your sincere.” I had known an elderly woman who died in the spring of the year 2009 and a number of years before she died she told me about back , not long before Worlds War II and when she was a girl in high school and had an overseas correspondence in letters with., a teenage German girl. This young German wrote letters about how great and wonderful new head of state and leader of her country Is . This teenage German girl wrote that Hitler will lead Germany to “greatness and splendor.” . In reality turned out that Hitler lead Germany into total disaster, ruin and shame. The point is that this teenage German girl , no doubt, actually sincerely believed that Hitler was a wonderful leader and he would be very good for Germany . Many other deluded Germans also sincerely believed likewise. History shows the complete evil and disaster that came from Hitler being in power in Germany. So it really does matter what a person believes, regardless if she of he is sincere.

*Very* true, Walter! Great comment.

A muslim lied? Not possible.
Islamists in USA says
Islams footsoldiers are peaceful Islamists who seek to destroy from within. Take Dr Rushdi Cader who posts at Loon Watch (anonymous blog run by islamists) as 1DrM. He was kicked out of Israel and claims the experience left him traumatised. A deceptive method American Islamists use is to publicly denounce extremism whilst privately looking forward to the demise of the West, Israel, and bringing in the caliphate.
Dr Rushdi Cader a deceptive Jew hater claims to fight extremism http://alert-us.org/ Yet he is a jew hating anti west Islamist who ran the nazi like blog Dr Maxtor. In real life he is a respected doctor. Watch this YouTube clip
