I've seen violence committed by radical Christians, Jews, Hindi, and radicals from other religions because someone "disrespected" their religion by not deferring to it. Such violence is just unacceptable (example: radicals bombing Planned Parenthood clinics, assassinating doctors, etc).

Carful, Vexx. The world "defer" is easily misunderstood. For one to not "respect" a religion by not submitting to its belief and teaching, or to question its authority is very common. However, if it's taken to another level where people degrade others' beliefs, now that's big trouble. The most common case would be along the line: that religion is unbelievable, that person must be so stupid to even believe in it.
Here, in a Gundam 00 doujinshi, for example, if Marina is portrayed as a bitch, AND a hardcore Muslim, for example, I have no doubt many Muslim individuals would be offended at how lack of commitment she is (all it takes is some little sexual pleasure for a Muslim to throw away her beliefs and values?) Sadly, this exploits the psychology of men (the very way incest and student-teacher relationship work), and if writers didn't know this is a specific taboo directs at Muslim, bunch of this would float around already (moaning the very holy name of Muhammad?)
Of course, fiction is fictional, violence is wrong. People still have the reason to be angry (a good recent case in anime would be Hetalia Axis power).
