It must take the brains at Harvard to arrive at this conclusion after "a 2006 survey of more than 1,600 Pakistani pilgrims." These men probably used their life savings to shave their heads, dress up in sheets, pay exorbitant costs to live in slums, chant in Arabic while throwing rocks at objects, kissing stones, and circling man made structures. A credible research pool indeed !

I decided to conduct further research on behalf of Harvard to save them time and effort, here are the headlines from my study :

Islam promotes Women's Rights ("after a 2008 survey of more than 1,600 Saudi Wahabi Men")

Iraq War was a good idea ("after a 2008 survey of more than 1,600 right-wing Republicans")

There are no gays in Iran ("after a 2007 survey of Ahmadinejad")

Destroying ancient statues promotes more human to human interaction ("after a 2008 survey of more than 1,600 Taliban")

Britney Spears is a good role model ("after a 2008 survey of more than 1,600 14 year old Britney Spears fans")

Opium reduces Cholesterol ("after a 2008 survey of more than 1,600 Afghani farmers")
