A 29-year-old police officer died on Sunday after being repeatedly stabbed during an attack at an anti-Islam rally in Germany.
The likelihood of some mentally disturbed person killing you for something like that is about equally high for Muslims or Mormons: i.e extremely low.
But if it is a Muslim, you can be sure the right-wing media is full of it.
You cannot say they are equally high when:
12 people were killed for publishing a cartoon of Muhammad.
A teacher was beheaded for showing a drawing of Muhammad.
Cartoonist drew Muhammad, leading to Danish embassies being attacked and riots broke out and people died. Later, people broke into his house to try to kill him.
Cartoonist had to live under police protection because of threats.
Creators of South Park were threatened for including Muhammad in an episode of the show.
These were just a few from the FIRST PAGE of a search engine, AND outside of Muslim majority countries.
If you still think there’s an equal chance of violence against you, then I dare you to draw Muhammad and publish it with your real name.
!don’t actually do this, I don’t want to be responsible for anyone dying.!<
This is before even considering every other ‘provocation’, leading to incidences like:
Salman Rushdie being stabbed on stage
A teacher forced into hiding for showing a picture of mahammad
Right so you’re answering the argument that killings by muslim are overrepresented in media by quoting search engine results? If you actually want factual numbers you’d need to take a look at the criminal data from you country.
Do you think there’s an argument to be made that Boeing’s aeroplane failures are overrepresented in media?
What a stupid thing to say.
I don’t need to crunch any numbers; the links are right there, the murderers EXPLICITLY state they did it because the person insulted their religion.
I challenge you to find me more than one example of a murder which was deliberately invoked because someone insulted a holy person from another religion over the last ten years.
