There are people in this country who because of anger at the Church or God or Christians or the way that someone may vote who may forget that we live in a country of the free choice to vote the way we want to and to believe the way we want to and someone will always in a free country be offended because of someone else's actions.
But do we really want to live in a country where just because someone was offended even though the actions where offensive.
That in the court of Sharia law offensive means capitol punishment?

So what do we want to be the law of this country?
Blasphemy laws based on offense?
Or laws based on disagree with your neighbor call your neighbor out on it with the freedom of speech and the Constitution to do so.
Because people will always be offended by something.
Do we want laws based on offense?
And if so where would it end as someone will always find offense in another.
