It looks like we'll need to redefine words like "faith" and "religion" in our western dictionaries. Clear in some eastern countries and/or religions, it is perfectly okay to eliminate those that disagree with you.
Okay, if that is too simple, let me try this. You can't blaspheme against another religion or a prophet. But does that include that you cannot say you disagree with the religion, or the prophet? Does it include that you cannot say you don't believe in that relgion or that prophet? What exactly does it mean?
This article in this link may help you to answer that question.
Thousands rally in Pakistan for blasphemy laws | World news | Chron.com - Houston Chronicle
But there's more details in this link on the blasphemy laws of Pakistan which can be found at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blasphemy_law_in_Pakistan
As you'll see, it's not a simple definition and very much under the control of whoever thinks you have blasphemed.
