No non-Muslim can do this in most (or all ?) Muslim majority countries.

295 and 295 a are for all religions. Most sections of Blasphemy law of Pakistan are specific to Islam
Lets take a walk:Arent Zimmi hood and Blasphemy laws a reality in Pakistan ?
Zia ul Haq added more laws in those sections and thus they are completely different and discriminatory compared to original 295/295A laws framed during British era.
Do what exactly?No non-Muslim can do this in most (or all ?) Muslim majority countries.
Kindly do paste your version ...though nothing to do with America or their people (as par title of the thread)...Zia ul Haq added more laws in those sections and thus they are completely different and discriminatory compared to original 295/295A laws framed during British era.
295B and 295C sections were just expanded and amended from 295 and 295A
Lets take a walk:
Austria
In Austria, a section of the penal code relates to blasphemy:
Brazil
- § 188 : Vilification of Religious Teachings
Art. 208 of the penal code states that "publicly vilifying an act or object of religious worship" is a crime punishable with 1 month to a year of incarceration, or fine.
Canada
Main article: Blasphemous libel
See also: Hate speech laws in Canada
Denmark
In Denmark, Paragraph 140 of the penal code is about blasphemy. The paragraph has not been used since 1938 when a Nazi group was convicted for antisemitic propaganda. The hate speech paragraph (266b) is used more frequently. Abolition of the blasphemy clause has been proposed several times by members of the parliament, but has failed to gain majority.
Egypt
Main article: Blasphemy law in Egypt
In Egypt, insulting Islam and its prophet can and has resulted in the death penalty. For instance, seven Egyptian Christians were sentenced to death on November 28, 2012 for their role in the anti-Mohammad movie.
European initiatives
In place of blasphemy or in addition to blasphemy in some European countries is the crime of "religious insult". A "religious insult," effectively a subset of the crime of blasphemy, is forbidden in Andorra, Cyprus, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Spain, Finland, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Italy, Lithuania, Norway, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Russian Federation, Slovakia, Switzerland, Turkey and Ukraine.
Finland
In Finland, section 10 of chapter 17 of the Criminal Code relate to blasphemy. Unsuccessful attempts were made to rescind the section in 1914, 1917, 1965, 1970, and 1998.
In 1969, Harro Koskinen was prosecuted for publishing a picture of his painting called Pig Messiah, which featured a crucified pig. For violating the sensibilities of a religion, Koskinen had to pay a fine.
In 2008, the issue of religious sensibilities arose again. On 30 May 2008, Tampere District Court sentenced Seppo Lehto to two years and four months in prison for offences which involve hate speech and blasphemy. The court found Lehto guilty of: defamation, incitement of an ethnic group, and violating the sensibilities of a religion. The judgment said that Lehto had violated the sensibilities of Islam because he had disseminated, with insulting intentions, material which openly blasphemes and desecrates that which Muslims deem holy.[19] Outraged by the punishment of Lehto, Jussi Halla-aho, a Helsinki councilman, posted to the Internet in 2008 some controversial remarks about Islam and about Somalis. Those remarks induced Helsinki District Court to order Halla-aho to trial.
Germany
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. The article reads as follows:
§ 166 Defamation of religious denominations, religious societies and World view associations
(1) Whoever publicly or by dissemination of writings (§ 11 par. 3) defames, in a manner suitable to disturb the public peace, the substance of the religious or world view conviction of others, shall be fined or imprisoned for up to three years.
(2) Whoever publicly or by dissemination of writings (§ 11 par. 3) defames, in a manner suitable to disturb the public peace, a church established in Germany or other religious society or world view association, or their institutions or customs, shall be punished likewise.
In 2006, the application of this article received much media attention when a Manfred van H. (also known as "Mahavo") was prosecuted for blasphemy for distributing rolls of toilet paper with the words "Koran, the Holy Koran" stamped on them
And the list goes on : Blasphemy law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Do what exactly?![]()
I don't know the sub sections but Zia ul Haq brought those unpopular additions, rest of the old laws is hardly implemented to protect the religious rights of Hindus and Christians.
What is the penalty for Muslim and non Muslim countries vis a vis blasphemy laws? That is what is most important.Blasphemy law is almost same in all the countries just there is an extra hype when its in Muslim countries. If i am not wrong even for desecrating and insulting other religion or religious book is having the same punishment in Pakistan ?
When did we stop...the constitution clearly states no preaching nothing about no practicing!Pray/worship etc.

Sorry but I do know who you audience was supposed to be but I am sorry to say your question was regarding the laws not what is practiced under the table! I covered both!Samajhdar ko ishara kaafi hai. My post wasn't for you or your like. Any neutral observer would agree with what I said.
Maybe your expected samajhdar Neutral audience comes from people who lack knowledge about the difference or just like to pick fights and embarrass themselves?!We do have laws for them...its a different story our corrupt fail to utilize them!
