Explanatory Note

This short statement suggests that they used to swear an oath every time they feared exposure, or whenever one of their schemes was uncovered, or some of what they said about Muslims was reported. They hoped that such oaths would protect them from the consequences of their exposure. Thus they used their false faith as a shield to hide their reality and allow them a chance to go on with their plots and schemes against the Muslim community. 

Thus, "they turn people away from the path of God." They kept themselves and others away from God's path, using their false oaths for that end. "Evil indeed is what they do."
