Islamophobic polemic weaponizes technical Islamic terms by redefining them as threats.

Evidence

The term taqiya refers to permitted dishonesty about one’s beliefs if faced with persecution. The term dhimmitude is a modern neologism implying servility or submission to Islam by non-Muslims and is used polemically by Islamophobes. — Peter Morey, Islamophobia and the Novel, 783

Categorization

• DEFINE: Defines taqiya and dhimmitude as terms Islamophobes deploy; taqiya’s actual jurisprudential meaning (permitted concealment under persecution) gets distorted into a charge of universal deception.
• XREF: Connects to Hamid’s The Reluctant Fundamentalist, where Changez is accused of dissembling — the taqiya charge is precisely the accusation leveled at him for his polished, evasive narration.
