The koran states that the penalty for blasphemy is death.

EXODUS 31:15
“Whoever does ANY work on the Sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.”

Newsflash: all religious texts say some pretty dopey things. Doesn't mean we should start bulldozing synagogs.

If they started killing people for working on Sabbath, YES!
You bet. The problem is that in Islam the Koran is the final word of god not open to interpretation. Judaism and Christianity went through a reformation. Became enlightened. As in, they figured out there are some 'dopey' things in the books (if taken literally), and decided to take a larger view of life.

The Mohammedan rabble has not gone through an reformation nor it can - 'cause the the dogma itself forbids it. Hence - this is a problem.

The big difference is that islam still enforces every call for beheading, every call for amputation, every call for stoning.

Maybe the distinction between the word and the action is a bit too subtle for you?
