I really
don't know that, and neither do you. I don't know how many of the 5.2% of Muslim Calgarians who have voted/will vote for Nenshi
for no other reason than his faith. Nor do I know how many Christian (54.9%) or "not a visible minority" (67.3%) Calgarians refuse to vote for him
for no reason other than his faith. (Numbers from 2011, from
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Calgary).
I honestly don't want to make a big deal of these factors, because they have a decent chance of canceling out. But for some reason, I can't resist arguing against obviously ridiculous statements using absolute terms like "every".
