Would Interpol get involved in a case involving defamation of a head of state? Does that change if the head of state is also a religious figure? (Both the Queen of England and the Roman Catholic Pope are religious figures.)
Heck - did Interpol get involved when the Pope was shot?
These questions are relevant because there's not always a bright line. Are laws against murder religious? ("Thou Shalt not Kill" is one of the commandments.) If not, then why is a civil law against saying the wrong thing about the flying spaghetti monster? What about a law banning non-believers from Mecca?
