Mapping religious discrimination

Given the Organization of Islamic Cooperation's (OIC's) call's for laws to protect against defamation of religion it seems worthwhile to post this maps of countries rated by their level of religious restrictions. Here's a map of countries by religious discrimination from Pew Centre's September, 2012 report on the subject of religious hostility:

Compare to a map of OIC countries:

(Green countries are members, blue countries have made membership attempts, red countries are observer states, and yellow countries have had their membership suspended). Notice any overlap? North Africa and the Middle East was also ranked by far as having the highest levels of government restrictions on religion:

But wait, the Pew Forum must be biased. It is an American-based organization after all. Fine. How about a similar plot of UN-origin?

Some have raised the issue of whether or not Western countries are targetting Muslims more than others. I've addressed that issue before, but since that post some issues like a French and Italian ban on certain advertising have been raised. (Personally I find it rather difficult to be greatly offended by the ad in question there). Given that Piss Christ spent time in a French gallery last year some years after the advertising ban, this would seem to suggest that either this is non-uniform or applying more restrictions to "commercial speech." Similarly I could point to the Canadian Human Rights tribunal's exoneration of a Montreal Imam as an example leaning the other way.
