This is all 100% accurate.
However, Northcrunk is onto something, despite seeming to stumble over it accidentally and mischaracterize the point in the course of unearthing it. This same sort of rational exercise is
routinely referred to as bigotry when applied to statistically verified commonly held beliefs in Muslim societies. We're way off the rails of this thread at this point and I don't really want to get into the weeds on that, but it's worth noting the analogy and setting it aside for the next time that discussion rears its head.
