Aww, please. If you feel people don't lie (sorry, only Muslims do, of course) and especially politicians don't lie, then I am not going to argue against it. Zonder... No one can, or has, denied that politicians and governments lie when they can get away with it... But when they are caught lying, we have a judeo-christian "culture", established through our statutory and moral laws and codes, which exact a price for such deception.. We don't have any laws or codes that I'm aware of which consider lying to non-christians/jews as morally justifiable. What such a code would suggest is that we are under no legal obligation to abide by any treaty or agreement entered into with a muslim state (nor they with us).. The implications are obvious..... muslim states using international organizations (UN) in order to pursue a religious agenda, and engendering a mass distrust of the muslim community overall. Again.. it's not that people don't lie.. It's that under Islam, it seems they have right, if not an obligation, to lie to non-muslims. Hawk
