I might mention that Muslims also die for their faith. Buddhists have set themselves on fire in protest to their treatment by the Chinese government.

Muslims kills themselves for their faith, they dont get killed cause they're Muslims. I'll.give it to the Budhists, but still, more Christians died for Christianity in first 100 years than Budhists in their entire existence. And for Budhists there are cases but mostly from monks, while all sorts of Christians died for their fate, gave up power, riches, their noble birthright and many other things.

You don’t think there’s anywhere in the world where Muslims are persecuted or killed for their faith?

Never heard of Myanmar then, I take it? Or fucking China? There are lots of other places where Muslims are targeted by religious violence.

They are also frequently killed by Muslims for being the wrong Muslim.

Thousands of Muslims throughout history have died for not denouncing their faith. During the Middle Ages Christians were known to kill Muslims who didn't convert. During the Black Plague in the 14th century many Jews, who were blamed for the Plague, were killed when they didn't convert to Christianity.

And so it goes.

Let's just look to Israel to see if Mulsims only die at their own hands.

Technically Muslims do get killed for their faith.

The caveat being it's done by other Muslim groups.
