Matt doesn't think these fits could be related to his research, which he has always described as benign and esoteric.

What happens when authorities you venerate condone something you know is wrong? What does this mean about what you’ve been venerating?

And Muslims faced it when ISIS revived sex slavery, justifying it with verses from the Quran and the practice of Muhammad.
