Moral relativism has crept into our national lexicon over the past 10 years. I believe it is more than a coincidence that Islam has had it's most marked increase on our shores during the same timeframe. I can attest to the essence of Barak's comments. I have trained and trained with Arabs from a variety of countries over the years while serving in the Army. I caught them in lies on a regular basis and learned quickly not to trust them or rely on them to meet a task satisfactorily to standard.

Great thread!

"Truth is seen as an irrelevant category," he says."There is only that which serves your purpose and that which doesn't.

There is no way to live at peace with a person or group who despises objective truth. It's the same spirit of lawlessness at work. Leftists, globalists, palpots...

"Lying Is Cultural Trait Of Arabs"

They sound a lot like democrats. No wonder they take their side so often.

Should We Expect Democrats To Tell The Truth?

You are quite right. It's moral relativism, much like that manifested by the person who started this thread. It's also cultural relativism, another modern multi-culti fashion.

Also concerning Arabs, you do NOT, repeat NOT want to leave any female of any age or condition alone with an Arab man for even a second.

The flip side of their despising women as inferior and always holding the WOMAN to blame in any sexual embroglio, is the moral obligation Arab males feel to try and force intercourse on any woman or girl left alone in their presence. Unprotected goods are goods for the taking, and I had a Palistinian friend tell me once, in his cups, that the terms for rape in Arabic, both slang and traditional, do NOT have a negative connotation.

Something like "to take by happy storm" as I think he said. On sobering up, he said he regretted telling me this.

Fascinating culture.

So as the Democrats and other leftists, like the pathetic Brits, will tell you, we simply MUST keep importing these exotic creatures into our countries so that in a generation or two there won't be anything left of anything we hold dear. What happy days these are.

If you think Arabs are rational creatures, the news just came in that Pakistan, in the middle of this horrific nuclear stand-off, has just tested a surface-to-surface missile in Northern Pakistan. Wonderful folks, and if your child's milk is glowing in the dark a week or two from now, you can thank the ARABS and the MUSLIMS.

We kept what I called the "towel head" price list, twice list price , with the aim to settle on original list. It'd usually take two bottles of Johnny Black to get there (yes, my dear Muslim clients always had the best booze).

Remember the beard salesman (played by Eric Idle) in Life of Brian?

No, no. Not like 'at. You've got to 'aggle!

I swear, I've lived that one. I thought of that line many times... Classic!

It's funny, cuz whitebread Americans like me are afraid to haggle. We'd rather just shut up and pay. Hell, we even have a major automobile line sold specifically to the "Pay Full Retail" personality type. Granted, it's named for a planet, but those of us who pay full retail like this kind of marketing, I guess. (Disclosure: I bought one of the first Saturns... -- heh, I believed Ronbo when he said 'buy American.' I even started an export business as a political statement.)

Your post sheds light on a line in the book "Thousand and One Nights" about their attitude toward rape: "He threw her, and enjoyed her." It is obvious, beyond an inkling of a shadow of a doubt, that Islamists are the most evil "religious" people in the world. Whether witting or unwitting, they are serving their father - the father of lies.
