Behind that Muslim smile and handshake.

Now this isn’t Muslim doctrine as elucidated by the Muslim equivalent of the Grand Tetons Church of the Holy Dispensation. No, this is from a veritable Muslim Thomas Aquinas on the issue of what a good Muslim is to harbor in his or her heart when forced to endure the company of the filthy kuffar:
Al-Tabari’s (d. 923) famous tafsir (exegesis of the Koran) is a standard and authoritative reference work in the entire Muslim world. Regarding 3:28, he writes: “If you [Muslims] are under their [infidels’] authority, fearing for yourselves, behave loyally to them, with your tongue, while harboring inner animosity for them. … Allah has forbidden believers from being friendly or on intimate terms with the infidels in place of believers — except when infidels are above them [in authority]. In such a scenario, let them act friendly towards them.”
