If they say WHAT publicly?
And does this apply to ANYONE, or does it only apply to Muslims?
And what a lovely law you have there! Death for committing "apostasy". In other words, you are killed for renouncing a religious faith. So if you use your intellect, logic, reason and common sense, and conclude that the concept of a god is ludicrous, you are killed for it! Incredible! How does not believing in your religion harm another person or society? This is the absolute quintessence of an unjust and absurd law!

But at least the punishment might save them from burning in Hell for eternity, which is infinity times worse than getting killed.
Oh, gee. How wonderful of you. You are willing to kill me in order to save me from burning in hell for eternity. This puts you on the same level as the assholes who burned "heretics" in the Middle Ages. They, too, believed that burning someone to death may spare the condemned an eternity in hell. Never mind the horror of being burned alive for a "crime" that has no victim.
Don't you even think for a second about what you're doing here? What if there is no god? (And I'd say the odds of that are much greater than a deity actually existing). Then you (and people like you) are executing innocent people who did nothing wrong! In fact, YOU are the one who is wrong!
You tell us that DEATH is the penalty for "apostasy" in Islam. Then you want to tell us how "peaceful" your religion is.
Your religion is oppressive, backward and misogynistic. The world would be a much better place without it.
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.
God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?
