So if Islam plots the same course as Christianity, we can expect to see the death penalty for blasphemy eradicated from Islam sometime into the 24th Century.

    Globalization and technology has changed the equation. Needs a generation or two or maybe three, I figure. It won't take till the 24th Century. That's why moderate Islam should be embraced and lent some support rather than tarred with the same broad brush as is used on the most reactionary, outrageous excesses found in certain regions and in certain cultural contexts.
