With all due respect to Ben Carson, he is a neurosurgeon and a politician. He is not a historian nor a religious expert and when it comes to taqiyya he is misleading people about what it actually is.

Please enlighten me on what it really is, thanks.

You won't get any "enlightenment" with an arrogant approach like that.

My apologies to you if that seemed arrogant. I would like to know what taqiyya is and how it is applied in daily life. thank you

Taqiyya in Arabic means "safeguard/self protection". It's a method popularized by Shia Muslims in order to hide their beliefs and faith in a situation of extreme oppression where one can get persecuted for his or her faith. Islamophobes love to get overexcited about this term and they often succeed in convincing the average citizen that "taqiyya" is something bad when in fact it has absolutely nothing to do with "Muslims being allowed to lie to unbelievers" or any BS like that.
