PDF file (you will need Acrobat Reader (http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html) to open it)
the title is "Salman Rushdie issue : A Synthesis of the Islamic Law of Blasphemy/Apostasy in the context of Canadian Multiculturism"
include the exact defination of Blasphemy and Apostasy according to sharia
very interesting approach on explaining the similarity between apostasy and treason
clears some misconceptions about the capital punishment for apostasy, for example according to sharia law only male apostates are killed while woman should not be killed for apostasy, and the male who leave Islam after he was forced to convert to Islam should not be punished for apostasy.
a study of Salman Rushdie case
the article is written from the prespective of a Sunni follower of the Hanafi school of Islamic law
Inshallah it will be a useful read
