You go to the Left Wing Wikipedia for answers on Islam? Might as well go to the MSM. You will notice that even they weasle-worded it.

Ahhhhhhh, but you only tapped the surface. For instance, note which countries consider Apostasy legal, and which do not... Countries This section requires expansion. Apostasy in itself is not considered a crime and is not prohibited or penalised anywhere, but in many countries apostasy from the religion supported by the state is forbidden and punishable. This is largely the case in some states where Islam is the state religion; conversion to Islam is encouraged, conversion from Islam penalised. • Iran – illegal (death penalty)[citation needed] • Saudi Arabia – illegal (death penalty)[citation needed] • Nigeria – illegal in twelve of 37 states (death penalty)[citation needed] • Qatar – illegal (death penalty)[citation needed] • Sudan – illegal (death penalty)[citation needed] • Mauritania – illegal (death penalty)[citation needed] • Afghanistan – illegal (death penalty)[citation needed] • Somalia – illegal (death penalty)[citation needed] • Yemen – illegal (death penalty)[citation needed] • United Arab Emirates – illegal (death penalty) [8] • Malaysia – illegal in five of 13 states (fine, imprisonment, and flogging)[9][10] • Canada – legal (protected under Section Two of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms) • Netherlands – legal (protected under Article Six of the Constitution of the Kingdom of the Netherlands) • United States – legal (protected under the First Amendment to the United States Constitution) • India – legal.

I'm sure this isn't ALL Muslims but it seems to be a lot of them: As for the issue being apostasy vs defaming the prophet ..... pardon me if I doubt people who want a mother put to death for defamation wouldn't feel the same about an apostate. ..... The court heard she had been working as a farmhand in fields with other women, when she was asked to fetch drinking water. Some of the other women – all Muslims – refused to drink the water as it had been brought by a Christian and was therefore "unclean", according to Mrs Bibi's evidence, sparking a row. The incident was forgotten until a few days later when Mrs Bibi said she was set upon by a mob. The police were called and took her to a police station for her own safety. Shahzad Kamran, of the Sharing Life Ministry Pakistan, said: "The police were under pressure from this Muslim mob, including clerics, asking for Asia to be killed because she had spoken ill of the Prophet Mohammed. "So after the police saved her life they then registered a blasphemy case against her." He added that she had been held in isolation for more than a year before being sentenced to death on Monday. "The trial was clear," he said. "She was innocent and did not say those words." Earlier this year, Pakistan's internet service providers were ordered to block Facebook to prevent access to supposedly blasphemous images. Human rights groups believe the law is often used to discriminate against religious minorities, such as the country's estimated three million Christians. ..... "It's an obscene law," he said. "Essentially the blasphemy law is used as a tool of persecution and to settle other scores that are nothing to do with religion. "It makes religious minorities particularly vulnerable because it's often used against them." telegraph.co.uk "It's an obscene law," he said.

The town cleric, who made the initial complaint against Bibi, called her death sentence one of the happiest moments of his life. "Tears of joy poured from my eyes," Qari Salim told CNN. The clerics tears are in stark contrast to those shed by Bibi's daughter Isham, who wants her mother to live. articles.cnn.com The woman so many Muslims in Pakistan want dead.
