You have chosen good and evil as your measure. Is good and evil a measure of right and wrong as defined by law or is it a measure of moral conduct based on a particular set of principles? Who are you using as your population of Muslims. Everyone who has an Islamic heritage whether lettered or not? Likewise, the other populations you mentioned? If so you have not demonstrated any evidence of your statement of equivalency unless it is to say human beings are the same the world over. Is that it? Upon what do you make such a claim?

Know something? You said something there I actually agree with. And I don't believe it matters whether the measure is legal or moral. There are criminals as defined by law from any religious group. And there are evil people as defined by morals from any religious group. I personally haven't noticed any significant differences in numbers among the groups. I would be suspect of any study that said anything about this matter. Laws and morals are different between cultures and religions and what is acceptable in one is criminal or evil in another. When all is said and done, we all march to our own drummer, and hopefully that drummer beats a good tune.
