This is an exciting technological development; I wonder at which point Bin Laden will declare a hudna.

From Hot Air on a tip from Brendan.

    I’ll try to keep it simple…

    These two are connected: al-takeyya and a hudna.

    Takeyya - (Arabic) Literally “to prevent,” or guard against. The Islamic principle of lying for the sake of Allah. The practice of Al-Takeyya is commonly employed to declare a Hudna, qv.

    Hudna - (Arabic) “cease fire”. In practice, hudna is not a truce but is used to gain respite. Mohammad is often quoted as having said that when Muslim armies are weak, they should seek truces and then fight when they’re strong again. When they are strong, they should conquer without mercy. See Takiyya.
