Both groups feel the other side is dishonest?

[Tempus]

I think it's a mistake to assume that because someone has the same information you do that they'll necessarily reach the same conclusions as you. Perhaps the parts or their knowledge that constitute the "right" answer in your mind aren't connected in theirs. Or perhaps they are, but in a different arrangement. I also think it's a mistake to assume an individual who is self reporting their own reasoning has direct access to what their own motivations actually are. I think anyone who engages in meaningful self reflection discovers a lot of things about themselves that wasn't resting on the surface.

I don't think anyone is being dishonest until I have a reason to. Further, it's not wise to extrapolate from a few encounters with people of group X that the whole group they belong to is dishonest. Even if every Muslim I'd met were demonstrably dishonest, that still wouldn't justify labelling the entire group as such given its immense size and the diverse range of people it encompasses. I evaluate on a case by case basis, whether they be Muslims, atheists, or whatever.
