If I recall, there's an Arabic word that expresses the concept, but I don't remember it (fayyiq?)--not that Arabic culture condones lying (in fact, it deplores it); but lying to infidel is an acceptable breach of the duty to keep faith...sort of like lying to an axe murderer about where his intended victim went.

You're absolutely correct, Pistias, it's an Islamic doctrine/practice called taqiyya. Do a google search, choco taco.
