Mocking and terrorism both are worse in their own ways.

Which one is more worst depends on what scenario currently one is in.

Right now terrorism is worst.

But in case we would have been in a peaceful world, mocking anyone or anything out of context would have been worse.

The key thing is, why discuss which is more adverse or not?

When everyone wants a safe place to live our lives happily and healthily, then how come the direction is proceeding towards negativity instead of positivity?

Planet Earth is lacking positivity big time, and at the very least, we should come to common ground and behave like normal humans rather than fighting, misinterpreting other opinions, and judging others without knowing their actual stories.

Forums are not a place to harass, mock and make fun of others. It is a nice platform to share individual perspectives and relevant news.

I rest my case with the following overview relative to the question: Which kind of Muslims are the most offensive ones?

"Identifying a single "kind" of Muslim as the most offensive is not possible based on objective analysis, as Muslims are a diverse group of over 1.8 billion people with widely varying interpretations of their faith and personal actions.

However, perspectives on what makes certain actions or groups within or relating to Islam "offensive" or problematic differ:

  • Extremist Groups: Groups such as ISIS or other "Islamists" are widely criticized by both non-Muslims and many Muslims for interpreting and acting upon Islamic teachings in ways that involve violence, which critics describe as a distortion of the faith.
  • Literalist/Ideological Interpretations: Some interpretations of Islamic texts, particularly those that ignore historical context or promote strict "abrogation" (later violent verses canceling earlier peaceful ones), are seen as problematic and, for some, offensive.
  • Internal Islamic Criticism: Islamic scholars and many believers often find actions like Gheeba (backbiting), Buhtan (slander), and Namima (malicious gossip) to be deeply problematic behavior from fellow Muslims.
  • Generalizing Muslims: It is worth noting that while some may find specific interpretations of Islam offensive, treating Muslims as a collective group, associating all with violence, or stereotyping them is a significant form of anti-Muslim hostility, which is itself considered offensive and prejudicial, particularly when it leads to discrimination or hate crimes.

Ultimately, the term "offensive" is subjective, and what one group finds offensive, another may not. The diversity within Islam means there is no monolithic "kind" of Muslim." (AI) "monolithic" has a slightly negative connotation...e.g. a monolithic society is rigid and homogenous, not open to new ideas (as actual example North Korea is cited).

Genuine question out of curiosity:-

It has always been iterated and re-iterated that none of the religion conveys bad practices as their base.

But you still say the book is the root cause of it all.

Why?

PS:- I have not read Quran because I couldn’t find the English version of it when I had time or opportunity to read.

There's an extremely reliable website called quran.com. you can read it there.

She labeled reduction in minorities due to mass migration. Not ruthless killings and forced conversions.

Hence I didn’t reply. I am not going to waste my time on something that a basic Google search will explain and at the same time reveal how India is where minorities grew in number during the same period.

good night.

Yes i noticed that. As if after mass migration the minority percentage remained stable or increased like in India. But i gave her a benefit of doubt. She probably got confused with the statistics...

You missed the word 'mostly'.

Also, in my experience, housemaids earlier had more than 2 children but now, they are opting for fewer children and giving them better education and lifestyle.

P.s. ism as in Hinduism is not used in a postive context. Google for it . U wont read christianism rather Christianity.

What about autism?

That also has a ‘ism’ in it.

Are we saying that’s derogatory?

A person who has autism?

Exactly. You will hear he or she follows Hinduism Sikhism Buddhism...But you will never hear someone say he or she is following christianism or Islamism. They always say he or she follows Christianity or Islam. Have u ever wondered why?

Just check the circled part in the dictionary. I didn't say or write that. I had read a very informative tweet about this thing but couldn't find that on Google search or i would have shared that here.
