Your link indicates the US has no blasphemy laws, btw.

I think GP point is that it's not the only country where this could not happen.

Your link only refers to religious sensibilities, and I specifically mentioned secular sensibilities as well, precisely to preempt this sort of retort. For example, France is marked green in your link, but it very much does exactly what I said in my original comment: prosecutes and punishes people for their literal speech. Here's an example high-profile case from last year.

Can you name a single country in the world which has similarly liberal free speech norms to US? Something close to the Brandenburg v Ohio standard? I'll wait.

Yes because that's the topic and "US is pretty much the only country where this stuff is unlikely to happen" is simply wrong, about the rest of your comment you could be right or wrong but I honestly don't really care.
