I think part of it is the supposed belief statistics of certain regions. Like, 93% of some region may believe homosexuals should be executed and 70% that women should not be allowed to leave the house without a man, etc. (I'm making those numbers up, but I don't think they're far off from real areas of the world.) This really conflicts with the social norms in other countries. Some interesting statistics can be found here, though the video is pretty one-sided: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSPvnFDDQHk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSPvnFDDQHk (From a real Muslim woman, not just a concern troll.) Of course this doesn't mean immigrants should not be accepted with humanitarian rights and love like anyone else.

  You people need to learn how to work a damn search engine. At this point, there are many widely read sources for this information and it's largely an accepted fact among those who aren't actively denying it. This is like some genius coming along and saying "citation needed" every time someone remarks "the middle class is shrinking".

    The reason i wrote citation needed was that it was clearly wrong. It's likely based on this pew research survey from 2013[0]. At no point does it suggest homosexuals should be executed. Note that the US also polled with 33% recipients disagreeing with "should society accept homosexuality".

      Had you considered that maybe that's not the only research ever done on the topic? In fact, it isn't, and there are other polls and studies looking into opinions on topics such as execution of homosexuals. Again, a single search engine query could solve this mystery for you.
