What are the 20 most blasphemous acts committed in Western nations over recent decades? In The Blasphemy Collection, TimesOnline gives you their listing based on the criteria of vulgarity, criminality in the country of the act, religious impact, political impact, and number of deaths provoked. Unsurprisingly, the Danish cartoon controversy led the pack. Other high rankers include Salman Rushdie, and Theo van Gogh and the beautiful Ayaan Hirsi Ali.
