We may also want to find or make the corresponding statistics for different religions, and see what is the outcome.

I don't trust IQ tests and don't consider their results as equivalent to intelligence, as I already said in several occasions. We had discussions on that. As far as I remember, you also said that you don't value them much. My ironical comments were directed against the part of Heimdalir's copy-pasted article which spoke about the innate differences of intelligence.
I overlooked the second part, which speaks about crime rates. Unlike IQ tests, crime rates can be something much more exact. This is something easily measurable: you have a certain number of people of certain race committing crimes, you draw your data from the police files and found your statistics thereupon.
You want to say: "It may be used..."? Hmmm...
I am a bit sceptical.
It may prove a double-edged sword. Once these bars are accepted as some kind of supreme truth, it may lead even to abuses of the ruling elites against the native population.
National preservationism cannot be founded on any "objective" criteria, I think. It is not possible to do so in any meaningful sense. The very being of a nation makes it worth preserving and not some superior IQ, inferior crime rate etc.
Once you accept such
objective criteria, the road is open for many absuses.
