Re I guess if you lie all the time, and everybody you know lies all the time, you assume that everybody you don't know also lies all the time.

Are you trying to suggest that I must be a liar myself if I believe others lie as well? That would be so very disappointing. I was enjoying this little break from direct insults like "nitwit" or "ignorant", or indirect ones as in your case of saying my lawyer friend must have "dumbed down" his discourse so that I would understand it.

Are you contesting what I have said that everybody lies to get at their goals, especially politicians? You must have led a sheltered life.

I am sorry for you if you had some bad experiences with Muslims lying in court but I guess you would also be lying if you said that they are the only people who lie in court. You probably would not be very honest if you were to say that in your experience, you have witnessed only Muslim politicians lie as well.

One of the things that the local lawyers, judges and court personnel always wonder is why Muslims lie in court all the time. Having had several Muslim clients, I have always warned them to tell the truth, that if they don't they will get in trouble, but to no avail.

I wonder if it would make a difference if they were required to administer their oath with the Koran, and not the Bible??
