> Sun Tzu said what I call lying isn't really lying, it's "social protocol" No I did not. I said you are a racist who hides behind his/her personal experiences and opinions of other racists in his/her social circle. I told Nadine that I did not see any major difference in lying between the Middle Easterners and others while I lived there and that there are some social protocols that would not apply here but are not lying. You choose to evade the straight questions and respond to statements never made and have the gall to claim moral superiority? FYI, an example would be a conversation I had with India a few days ago. The project manager had been looking for me to discuss some technical issues and in the end said something that translated means along the lines of "this is the happiest day of my life". Well he did not really mean that; he was just being curtious and expressing his pleasure to have had the chance to discuss the issues. > they'd don't deal with competing versions of truth like lawyers and judges do. Seems to me you are doing pretty well on the lying part yourself. Every misleading but not quite comitting to anything. > hope you are not denying that the concept of taqqiya What a load of crock. What do you know of Taqqiya and the circumstances it applies to? You just know the words but not the context. BTW, Taqqiya is a Shia concept and does not apply and if you take the time you will note that the Shia are less than 20% of the Muslims. Speaking of Islam, there you go again bringing religion into this. I though we established that your prejudism was racist not religious. Do you care to elaborate what Islam has to do with it? Are you suggesting for example that black American Muslims should not be trusted in courts because they are Muslim?
