It would seem to be a clear enough case of "incitement" and I personally would regard it as hate speech.
Others have been arrested and jailed for similar utterances but it seems as if, in this case, the police aren't interested.

"In its defence, the channel had said rather than inciting viewers to commit murder, the presenter was asking them "to take responsibility to become involved where they see disrespect to the Prophet".
The Presenter himself (?), since fired by the channel, seemed in no doubt that such involvement should be murder;
"Nizami answered that "there is no disagreement about this. There is absolutely no doubt about it that the punishment for the person who shows disrespect for the Prophet is death."

When it comes to blasphemy it is the right of Islam to be more morally and justifiably outraged than any society or other religion at any questioning of the teachings of Allah.
To incite murder is the highest honour and proves one's loyalty in one's faith.
It more often than not also means that those doing the inciting can do so with impunity minimal fear of prosecution.

Why? After all Allah is only a title, just as God is a title. So a moslem is absolved of murder should someone question the teachings.?
