Many if not most people in the Middle East don't equate cause and effect the way that we do here in the West. This coupled with a cultural over powering need to always be on top, while never loosing face....leads to what we would call lying. I don't usually believe at least 75% of what I hear on first meeting anyone from the Middle East. This might go down to 65% after building a little trust.
Also, the Middle East is where 1+1=Banana.
