It's ironic that Muslim author chose to write about "post truth", when the Koran permits lying to non-Muslims to further the cause of Islam. 
Taqqiya is the practice of denying one's religion, permissible especially by Sunnites: regarded as a means of protecting oneself from persecution. The Qur’an in a variety of verses (2:225, 3:28, 3:54, 9:3, 16:106, 40:28, and 66:2) establishes the religious legitimacy of breaking oaths, lying, unilaterally violating treaties, and generally scheming against non-Muslims

Kitman is the practice of lying by omission.
