RIP, You are completely missing the term blasphemy..it has more to do about Hate Speech than having a different opinion. Even Germany has it..In Germany, blasphemy is covered by Article 166 of the Strafgesetzbuch, the German criminal law. If a deed is capable of disturbing the public peace, blasphemy is actionable.
I would rather say it is an absolute pessimism to think states will use it only for a particular religion, as they are more close to the WEST than each other for their national interest than their religious interest.
