Blasphemy and Death

According to CNN a Christian woman in Pakistan faces the death penalty for something she allegedly said about the Prophet Muhammad.  She was angry at another villager for claiming that her use of the village well contaminated the water because she is not a Muslim.  She allegedly responded to this insult by declaring that the Prophet Muhammad died with "worms in his mouth."  For this she now faces the death penalty in Pakistan.

Reading this story doesn't make me angry at Pakistan or even Islam as much as it makes me angry at amateur politicians like Christine O'Donnell and Sarah Palin who don't understand why we should have separation of church and state in America.  Even though I am a Christian, it makes my blood boil when I hear someone say the United States is a "Christian" country.  Really?  Do we really want what Pakistan has; a state religion?
