English: A survey based on face-to-face interviews conducted in 80 languages by the Pew Research Center between 2008 and 2012 among thousands of Muslims in many countries, found varied views on the death penalty for those who leave Islam to become an atheist or to convert to another religion. In this survey, Muslims who favoured making sharia the law of the land were asked for their views on the death penalty for apostasy from Islam. The results are visualised in this map.

Note that values for the total number of Muslims who favour the death penalty for apostasy have been derived from the values for the number of Muslims who support sharia AND support the death penalty for apostasy. These values are not part of the Pew report itself, and do not include Muslims who may not support sharia but do support the death penalty for apostasy. The values also exclude the opinions of non-Muslims living in those countries.
