Comments: Another staggering number of deaths resulting from conflict involving Muslim.

At least 2 million died during the war between Christian and Animist Black South against Muslim Arab North in Sudan.

Over 100,000 or a fifth or 20 percent of the population has been killed as a result of military action in West Papua, which is under occupation by Indonesian Muslims.

There is also the ongoing genocide in Sudan's Darfur region, and terror attacks around the world that are increasing the death toll daily.

And as always, there will be some excuse for these deaths and also for the deaths yet to happen.

If anyone questions those excuses, then it is 'hate' and 'blasphemy', and they are 'Islamophobic'.

You may praise but not criticize the 'dogma', and it is free speech, according to them.
