Islam is not at all against its critical study instead it want people to examine it and see if it is really worth following. However, there is big difference between arguing a case and throwing abuse at each other.

Islam too is very critical of what others propose giving its own reason for their claims being false. In other words islam presents its case before mankind and tells them why they must follow islam and also why they should leave all else alone. They are told to see if it makes sense and if not why not?

So blasphemy law is not about critical examination of islam but abusing each other instead of trying to figure out the truth of the matter with all due sincerity.

Islam wants people to be thinking human beings not sheep.

Exactly. It’s up to the person to decide. And the Quran doesn’t actually mention any specific punishments for apostasy. I personally think hadiths should be ignored or used very selectively because they were written in a different time. Society has changed.
