I'm skeptical of this map - what are its sources and does it claim to be comprehensive?
How did India not make it to the map? We have anti-blasphemy laws here (an obscure and archaic residue of colonial era common law) which can and have been used to curb free speech. It doesn't happen very often, but it happens.
Most recently, Sanal Edamaruku, an Indian Rationalist, was charged under those laws upon a complaint from Bombay's Catholic branch when he showed that the water dripping from the feet of a Jesus statue (locally regarded as miracle and people getting in line to collect the 'holy' water) was actually sewage water. He has since fled to Finland.
