"lazy assumptions"
English to Spanish
Other
Social Science, Sociology, Ethics, etc.
Western people should learn more about such thinkers as Qutb, and become aware of the many dramatically different shades of opinion in the Muslim world. There are too many lazy, unexamined assumptions about Islam, which tends to be regarded as an amorphous, monolithic entity. Remarks such as "They hate our freedom" may give some a righteous glow, but they are not useful, because they are rarely accompanied by a rigorous analysis of who exactly "they" are.

English term (edited):
lazy assumptions
conjeturas cómodas, conjeturas fáciles
"Cómodo" es un equivalente asaz frecuente de "lazy". Pero aquí "cómodo" ofrece la ventaja adicional de que describe no sólamente a la persona que hace la suposición (que es la intención en el original inglés) sino también al carácter conveniente y fácil de la suposición misma. De modo que mata dos pájaros de un tiro.
