That does not, however, alter the fact that, were one to look at these crimes in an epidemiological manner, only a fool would dismiss the clear correlation between the ethnicity, culture and religion of its perpetrators and the incidence of such criminality. From such evidence, any decent epidemiologist would feel there were reasonable grounds for assuming and investigating a causal link.
So the point is this: if we would apply this logic in a scientific sense without a moment's hesitation, why would we not apply it here?
The answer, of course, is cowardice.
