Reply #232: This was a general piece of satire

meant to illustrate how people broadbrush groups using specious statistics.

If you are caught up in finding out if the stats used are correct, don't be. People pull numbers out of thin air to support their claims about different groups a lot.

The OP doesn't have one word in it about Muslims or Islam, but people jumped on that train in a nanosecond.

As I said, change the word 'Christian' to 'Republican' in the OP. It is still making the same point.

Some people have dissected and parsed every word in the OP. There have been elaborate analyses of the OP. It was meant to be a simple post from a diarist with a simple message.

We now return to the regularly scheduled squabbling.
