My answer is that there's plenty of domestic violence (if that's what the video shows) in the U.S. and nobody calls it a religious problem.I don't recall advancing an opinion.

Is that so?
One notable study from 2004 by William Bradford Wilcox analyzed data from national surveys (conducted between 1992 and 1994) and found a complex relationship between religious affiliation and domestic violence. It suggested that men who attended conservative Protestant churches irregularly were more likely to perpetrate violence against their partners compared to those who attended regularly or not at all, possibly due to a selective adherence to patriarchal norms without the mitigating effects of community accountability or ethical teachings.
Beyond Christianity, in some extreme interpretations of Islamic teachings, cultural practices misaligned with religion—like honor-based violence—have been documented in the U.S.
Similarly, smaller religious sects or cults have occasionally been linked to domestic violence, where authoritarian control is justified through spiritual rhetoric, though these are not representative of mainstream religious groups.
