1. Jyllands-Posten Mohammed Cartoons
Protests against the cartoons of Mohammed – one with a bomb in place of a turban – printed in the Danish Newspaper Jyllands-Posten, led to arrests, convictions, and caused over 100 deaths.
The newspaper claims it was contributing to the debate on self-censorship but Muslims across the world took offence at the depiction of their prophet, any image of whom is regarded as blasphemous.
Vulgarity: 4 Criminality: 7 Religious impact: 10 Political Impact: 10 Deaths: 100
Extremist Muslims take themselves too seriously.
What if they actually succeeded at taking over the world, and they killed everyone who opposed them? Who would they kill after that? Each other, of course.
After that, when Earth was a dead world, with no human life at all anymore, aliens would land here and put up a monument that might read thusly:
Here lies the human race.
They died of stupidity.
Don't let this happen on your own planet.
