Ibraheem Sulaiman

'Now as for [the tribe of) 'Ad, they walked arrogantly on earth, [offending] against all right, and saying, "Who could have a power greater than ours?" Why - were they, then, not aware that God, who created them, had a power greater than theirs?' [Quran 41:15]

There is something about            lying, especially when    deployed as a tool of propaganda by politicians who operate from the other side of the moral divide. Vladimir Lenin, the Russian revolutionary and founder of the Soviet Communist Party, once famously remarked that a "lie told often enough becomes truth".
