Who's angry?
On a whim, I Googled the phrase "angry Muslims" and got back approximately 47,000 hits. For comparative study I entered the phrase "angry Christians," which brought back significantly fewer results: 747. ("Angry Catholics" returned 585 pages and "angry Protestants" 493.)
"Angry Jews" comes in at 550 pages.
The numbers spike again at "angry Hindus," at 1,840, and "angry Sikhs," with 1,300.
Examining angry Islam we find that "angry Shiites" and "angry Sunnis" are pretty much tied, although the Sunnis are statistically angrier, with numbers coming in at 538 and 656, respectively. (The number of angry Muslims in toto is undoubtedly skewed high because of the recent little "incident" of the Danish cartoons.)
In a rather distressing comparison, "angry Buddhists" logs in at 142 pages, while "angry Satanists" shows up on only 130 pages.
Atheists ("angry atheists" tallied 497 returns) are much more angry, according to my research, than agnostics ("angry agnostics:" 67).
Interestingly, more pages returned on the search phrase "angry druids" (814) than "angry pagans" (733).
Wrapping up this little exercise, we find that there are more pages with the term "angry Jedis" (35) than there are pages with "angry beatniks" (9). How there can be seven more pages with the term "angry beatniks" than the term "angry Zoroastrians" is beyond me. If my memory serves me, the Zoroastrians were a rather angry lot.
Finally, there are no web pages with the terms "angry animists" or "angry deists."
