Only one said that man cannot do so and that he must comply with Swedish law. The illegal advice to the women was given by imams or Muslim family counselors.

"Deeply regrettable that they live up to all the prejudices of the Islamophobes".

It's not prejudice if you're judging them for what they're actually doing.

A while back, a pro-life group and a local TV station called tons of abortion clinics and all but one of them were willing to violate the laws on reporting statutory rape, parental consent and crap to get those babies aborted.

“Deeply regrettable that they live up to all the prejudices of the Islamophobes”.

If it’s true for more than half of a group, that is fact, not ‘stereotype’.
