This would be shocking if it wasn't for the fact that all politicians lie. But yes, the overall concept of taqiyya is extremely disturbing. Compare it with the Christian idea of being prepared to die for one's faith, which seems to me to be equally extreme in the opposite direction, but at least it doesn't involve deliberate deception.
