An intelligent person once said- “Religion is like Penis. It’s fine to have one. It’s proud to have one. But please don’t whip it out in public and start waving it around, and please don’t try to shove it down my children’s throats”.

But just like every other good advice, it seems to have gone down the sewers.

Here’s a chart showing killings in terrorist attacks in name of religion in last 14 years.

You see the buildings getting taller? Well, that’s a portion of world population being swept away.

Here’s another visual showing the key regions affected by the attacks.

Grey area shows no casualty. The Darker the color, the more casualty in that year.

Iraq, Pakistan and Afghanistan have always been center to the violence and the latest victims are Syria and Nigeria.

Also notice the area in red. It has been increasing eventually covering whole middle east and North Africa in last 2–3 years.

The purpose of religion is to control yourself, not to criticise others. — Dalai Lama

Let’s hope it’s just some buildings shaking. A few tremors. Let’s hope that foundations are strong unlike the walls. :/
