"Don I do now " believe that all male Pakistani Muslims have a culturally implanted tendency"

These figures are the official statistics on religions in Pakistan, which prides itself on upholding religious freedom:

    Muslims: 181,723,000
    Christians: 2,700,000 (approx. 1.8%)[citation needed]
    Hindus: 1,800,000 (approx. 1.6%[47])
    Buddhists: 106,989[52]
    Sikhs: 30,000
    Zoroastrian/Parsis: 25,000 (many are undocumented migrants from Iran)
    Jews: 200
    Animists, Baha'i, Atheists: n/a

In fairness to Jim, given the figures above showing how many Pakistanis are not Muslim, K A of H's comment undoubtedly aimed only at those who are, since he has chosen to mention them, and only them, in relation to these "cultural" tendencies to commit crimes.

Perhaps the very old argument isn't as old after all.
