Saudi Arabia maybe - they sentanced this guy http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/saudiarabia/11431509/Saudi-Arabia-court-gives-death-penalty-to-man-who-renounced-his-Muslim-faith.html http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/saudiar... but can you name anyone killed for apostasy in Europe?
