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.
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
One of the biggest failures of the left is its reactionary defence of Islam (as a religion).
Any honest criticism of Islam is branded Islamophobia (similarly to how any criticism of Israel is conflated with antisemitism).
Regardless of whether one wants to blame the Quran, or the cultures of Muslim communities - the fact remains that people get killed in non-Muslim majority countries for trivial shit.
I could draw a picture of Jesus sucking off Joseph Smith and I don't need to worry about Mormons coming to kill me.
I'm most disturbed by the lack of colons on the third, fifth and sixth lines.
Lol here we go with the moving of goal posts.
Pack it up guys, our work here is done.
There are good people who are Christian, sure. But they're only good people because they are bad Christians. They (their denomination) have cherry picked the least contentious passages and ignored the most hateful.
A 'Good Christian' is a creature of bigotry and contradiction, who spares no bias for which passages are morally good or bad. In some sense, The Westborough Baptist Church embrace many of the worst aspects of Christianity, they are Good Christians (but bad people).
People think the oxymoron is between 'Good Christian' and 'Landlord'.
When it is in fact between 'Good' and 'Christian'.

When I was 12 my Mum gave me my first PC, it was a second hand work PC with a tiny HDD.
There wasn't enough space to install The Sims, so I deleted the Program Files folder, thinking I don't need any programs, only games.
I bricked my PC lol. Needed a tech to reinstall Windows. Thankfully, I could tell him I needed enough space for the game and he debloated it as much as he could. Legend.
