But I will qualify: KSA, Egypt, Somalia, Sudan, Pakistan, Iran, from the top of my head. And of course all the muslim countries that ban religious minorities from becoming prime minister/president and so on clearly qualify as well (that would be the majority of them I believe, but I"m too lazy to look them up) I didn’t really think I needed a qualifier for something that is fairly obvious.

Condemning “muslim countries” without qualification IS generalizing.

NOtice I did not say 'All' muslim countries. That would be generalizing Blasphemy laws have proven to be quite unsuccessful imho and nearly impossible to define in any country anywhere. They are entirely subjective and up to an individuals own point of view. What is blasphemous to one is not at all blasphemous to another. Not to mention that they can cause incredible amounts of damage. LOok at KSA for example. IN the 21st century they want to actually behead a woman for "sorcery", which probably falls somewhere under their antiblasphemy laws. (what kind of country still chops peoples heads of btw?) Or Egypt, who sentenced a blogger to several years in prison for blasphemy. To people who actually want these laws implemented, where exactly do you draw the line and is this the kind of environment you wnat to create. Where you are unable to speak your mind for fear of offending the other party and being deemed blasphemous “I think you are generalizing quite a bit when you talk about Muslim countries oppressing religious minorities.”
