I have no respect for Islam as a religion, but I do not believe that being a Muslim automatically makes you a liar.

Do Muslims/Islamists lie - despite their "scriptures" teaching otherwise, do use lies to further their cause.

On the other hand, just because Christians have been charged with trumped up charges such as these does not make every single charge ever laid a lie.

And me digging up "evidence" of my belief is just as likely as you diggin up and presenting evidence to the contrary -

And me digging up "evidence" of my belief is just as likely as you diggin up and presenting evidence to the contrary -

I didn't think you had any evidence, and I just smoked you out. The allegation that Christians were selling alcohol is for you to prove not a negative for me to disprove.

Clearly you can admit only to some unsubstantiated, nebulous "belief." You want to give them some un-merited benefit of the doubt, but clearly you don't understand the culture. As I said before, one merely wonders why.

As it pertains to the Muslim practice of the virtue of truthfulness, one only need travel and do business in the Middle East as I have to know a demonstrated penury of truthfulness in transactions or in matters having to do with non-Muslims is not only endorsed in practice but is quite commonplace.
