<i>You can&#x27;t generalize over a billion people like this.</i><p>Of course you can. The issue is not that such generalizations are invalid, but what conclusions to draw from them and what actions to take in response.<p>Also note that I have a <i>black friend</i>^W^W Muslim roommate (in fact a Hafiz) I get along well with. That does not mean I don&#x27;t consider Islam as it presents itself today on a global scale a dangerous ideology.<p><i>For example, there are many Muslim-majority states that have had multiple women as heads of state.</i><p>And how many out gay politicians are there in such countries? And anecdotally speaking, remember what happened to Benazir Bhutto.
