Yes, this was refreshing to read. My boyfriend showed me the video and told me how wrong Maher was. And all I could say was how stupid the hosts were for not asking the right questions - because Aslan was telling stats that on paper would look nice if they were in fact facts. But they are not. I have family in Turkey and can vouch for the existence of inequality between men and women, due to the religion that over 99% of the people follow.

But you know, that's just an anecdote and not real data.
