doing with this guy? Well, birds of a feather…
See, one does not at all need to be a Christian believe–western society is based on Christianity–it is shot through with Christian morals. It is part of the whole western civilization thing.
There is a sense that it’s wrong to lie or to steal or to murder. But some folks (like the Somalis) have no such cultural demands. For them, they might not lie, but ONLY because the cost-benefit of lying is not favorable in a specific case. BUT, if it is, it’s not like there is anything intrinsically wrong with lying! (See: Taqiyya)
It’s totally different mindset. And we in the west would be well-served to understand what we are dealing with.
