“If it’s okay for a muslim to lie to an infendel, it should be okay for an infendel to lie to a muslim.”

Rabah lied when she hid the spies.

English standard version of the Bible

4 But the woman had taken the two men and hidden them. And she said, “True, the men came to me, but I did not know where they were from. 5 And when the gate was about to be closed at dark, the men went out. I do not know where the men went. Pursue them quickly, for you will overtake them.”

One opinion
In the New Testament, she is lauded both as an example of a saint who lived by faith,[1] and as someone “considered righteous” for her good works.

Lying for the sake of peace, for the sake of some overarching cause, such as saving lives, gaining victory in a war, those are permissible.

Lying to get more profit while violating others’ cherished beliefs, however, is a big no-no, even if that belief is Islam. So is claiming you’re a moderate while really you’re a meat puppet for leftard oligarchs, or calling an obviously senile man “sharp as a tack,” is even bigger.
