Card Stacking Religious Propaganda. Digital image. Islamic Online University, n.d. Web. 23 Jan. 2015.
This image clearly depicts the propaganda type “card stacking”, by using inaccurate statistics to manipulate the perspective of audience members. According to numerous sources, the number of Muslims around the globe is estimated to be around 2.08 billion. 2.08 billion is not a third of the world’s population, and there are actually around 29% Muslims around the world (by 2015 January standards). The image also uses the fallacy of hasty generalization to jump straight into the conclusion that if Islam was a violent religion, then Muslims would have killed the entire population by now. Numbers are misused in this image, which is why it is an “card stacking” type of religious propaganda.
