It’s all right. She promises “I won’t kill anyone.” What could possibly go wrong?
The Qur’an warns believers not to take unbelievers as “friends or helpers,” “unless that you but guard yourselves against them” (3:28). This is a foundation of the idea that believers may legitimately deceive unbelievers when under pressure. The word used for “guard” in the Arabic is tuqatan, the verbal noun from taqiyyatan — hence the term taqiyya.
Ibn Kathir says that the phrase “unless that you but guard yourselves against them” means that “believers who in some areas or times fear for their safety from the disbelievers” may “show friendship to the disbelievers outwardly, but never inwardly. For instance, Al-Bukhari recorded that Abu Ad-Darda’ said, ‘We smile in the face of some people although our hearts curse them.’ Al-Bukhari said that Al-Hasan said, ‘The Tuqyah [taqiyya] is allowed until the Day of Resurrection.” Abu Ad-Darda’ was a companion of Muhammad.
Lisa Smith “got into the witness box and after swearing on the Koran, she pleaded for bail to be with her child. She agreed with Mr O’Higgins that she would comply with any order made by the court.”
“Former soldier Lisa Smith granted bail with strict conditions,” RTÉ, December 20, 2019:
Former Defence Forces member Lisa Smith, who is facing trial accused of ISIS membership, has been granted bail with strict conditions including an internet and social media ban.
The former soldier, who left Ireland and married after she converted to Islam, was located in a Syrian refugee camp, and after a trek to Turkey with her two-year-old daughter, was brought back to Ireland on 1 December.
On arrival she was arrested and questioned for three days before she was charged with being a member of the middle-eastern terror group.
She had bail refused on 4 December at Dublin District Court, and has been held at Limerick Prison since then….
Wearing a black hijab with her face visible, Ms Smith sat behind a glass barrier for most of the bail hearing.
Visibly upset, she got into the witness box and after swearing on the Koran, she pleaded for bail to be with her child. She agreed with Mr O’Higgins that she would comply with any order made by the court….
Bail was set in Ms Smith’s own bond of €500 which has to be lodged and the judge required an independent surety in the sum of €5,000 who must lodge €1,000.
She must sign on at a garda station twice daily.
Mr Justice Eagar told her she would have to remain indoors from 8pm and not leave until 7am.
He told her she cannot leave the jurisdiction or apply for new travel documentation, having already lost her passport.
Mr Justice Eagar told her she must provide gardaí with a contact mobile phone number within 48 hours of taking up bail. The judge warned her that she must answer the phone if rung by gardaí and if she failed to do so it would be a breach of bail.
This would result in her going back into custody.
He also banned her from accessing the internet or using any social media and the final condition was that she must not have contact with non-garda witnesses in the case….
