Bismillah,
It is well-known that the punishment for saying something deliberately and unambiguously, insulting to Islam or Prophet Muhammad SAW, is death as was thoroughly explained by @UmH in her answer to https://islam.stackexchange.com/questions/2625/how-should-insults-to-the-prophet-muhammad-pbuh-be-handled
However, I also want to know how, and if, blasphemy against other religions should he punished in a Muslim state.
I got curious about this due to the following verse:
>وَلا تَسُبُّوا الَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ.
And don't revile those, whom they (the disbelievers) invoke other than Allah
This verse prohibits insulting all religions other than Islam. And since all sins are to he punished by ta'zeer by Ijma', it seems that it's obligatory upon an Islamic goverment to do ta'zeer against this as well.
So now, I want an answer that explains, wether my reasoning is right, and if so, is this punishment to be applied on all people who blaspheme other religions, or only Muslims who do this.
Jazak Allah!
