    his fanatical followers will literally murder you for showing a picture

    Christians are being called ‘annoying’, Muslims are being called ‘fanatical murderers’. In what way is that an “equal critique”?

      Yeah that feels obvious now lol. For whatever reason I was focused only on the caption of the first meme and just saw the second as racking on one more group rather than reading into the caption. But I read the word “fanatical” as identifying a group within the group rather than describing the whole. Like “an average Muslim won’t kill you for it, but the fanatical ones will.” Maybe wishful interpretation.
