Student in Mauritania charged with blasphemy over exam paper

Mauritanian authorities have charged a high school student with blasphemy over a mock exam paper she submitted.

The young woman was arrested last week for allegedly showing disrespect to the Prophet Muhammad, the founder of Islam.

If found guilty, she could be sentenced to death with no possibility of appeal.
...
The student's family later released a statement to the pan-Arabic newspaper Al-Quds al-Arabi in which they asked for forgiveness, saying she suffered from mental health issues.

So it doesn't even have to be in public for the poor defenceless Allah to need his detractors (if that's what she really did) murdered to uphold his honour.

that it's not about Allah. It's about Muhammad. They are not equated in Islam. It is considered a sin to equate Muhammad (or anyone or anything) with Allah, so it is my understanding that Muslims don't do that.

I'm not agreeing with what they did! Never. I'm just simply addressing the context.
