Pretty appalling, but also rather unsurprising on who voted which way. *NM*

As noted, the difference is we don't execute people for it, nor condone those who do.

It was the inference at a continent level, that I felt was very simplistic.

Generalizations are inherently simplified; that doesn't make them inaccurate.
