Not sure who that was aimed at

Being mocked only means you got offended. "Social terrorism" is when you bully people into submission out of ego and fear of being wrong. Human rights are a given, but ideas, be they political religious or business models do not deserve blind value or taboos.
There are really oppressed humans in the world. Minority Muslims living under other Muslims, Christians, Jews, gays and atheist who ARE really oppressed depending where in the world they live. But if you are in a place where you are not forced to partake, and your government is not arresting you for making any claim on any subject, and someone is merely blasting it, YOU ARE NOT being bullied. It would merely mean you got your claim picked on.
It might be wise for those who thing blasphemy is a crime to talk to people who actually have been victims of mobs and government before they complain here in the west.
