when you are either a communist or an radical Islam adherent, lying is okay as long as the ends justify the means.
I think the principle that “lying is okay as long as the ends justify the means” is pretty much the normal condition of government, politicians, bureaucrats of all sorts, law enforcement, courts, the press, many so-called “Christian” churches, and so on.
I’m not advocating the principle, jut remarking that I think the institutions are rotten and can’t be trusted at all.
It’s not limited to communists an mohamadeans.
