lr is absolutely right here...but it's a lot more than Sam Harris.  Beyond the election mania, this is a very hot topic on the left.  In particular, there is the phenomenon of some fraction of feminists reflexively condemning the people who 'stereotype' islam...while at the same time ignoring that there is perhaps no organization on Earth more damning and lethal to women than Islam.  (Well, I guess Boko Haram gives them a run for their money).  

Which I guess is yet another example of why we shouldn't describe any group in absolute terms--a statement that describes 'all xxxx' as one way or another is probably going to veer considerably wide of the truth.
