My experience in most of the Third World, not just Muslim countries, is that lying is an accepted part of life. Gullible Westerners just don't believe someone could smile and speak earnestly while lying through their teeth. And its not just corruption. In a country like Thailand people are so darn polite they'd often rather lie than tell you bad news.

My understanding is that it is no sin to lie to an "infidel" or non-believer in the Muslim faith. Shoot, Muslims lie to each other all the time. Look at all the pious pro-Arab, anti-American platitudes that come out of Egypt, Jordan and Saudi Arabia, while at the same time they are allied with the U.S. They just lie to keep their sheeple happy.

A U.S. Army tank guards a marketplace in the Baghdad suburb of Abu Ghraib, November 2, 2003. Locals said skirmishes developed in a market area of the town for the second time in three days, and military bulldozers later demolished stalls set up near the roadway.

Just like Israel...U.S. forces on the ready line as Jihadi's exploit a common area like a market to kill.
