NOT ACTUALLY

The fact that no reference was made regarding race, or national origin actually precludes hostility toward a group based on race,culture, or national origin. To question if the internalized mythology produces maladaptive behaviors, even suicidal/homicidal ideation is a bonafide question. The dogma of the "Muslim" allows for the total dominion of females by males,up to and including female genital mutilation, and "Honor killings". Manipulation and mendacity seem reasonable , given the status of women, to expect from adherence to the dogma. Individuals and personalities ,of course, vary and not 'all' self described "Muslims" choose to adapt the restrictive /control but have no impediment from dogma to isolate, refuse affection,inflict corporal punishments, and abandonment are all used to intmidate and control females.
