Nobody is 'stereotyping', Eliza. Everyone knows that not all Muslim states are alike. All you have demonstrated is that the things that happen in N Nigeria & Saudi Arabia do not happen in the Ivory Coast, which I knew already. But how does that make the Sharia-based [by their own claim, not mine or yours or anyone else's] goings-on in those 2 places any the less iniquitous?

Might as well say the crime is OK because you & I are not criminals.
