In California executions are so rare that lethal injection drugs go stale long before the guy is strapped to the table. So few to none are done.
By contrast, the Muslim world has distinctly different priorities. For example this week Kuwait's parliament enacted a death penalty punishment for any Muslim who insults Allah, "his prophets, messengers, Prophet Mohammed's wives or the Koran, in any form of expression, if they don't repent."
The appeals process requires the 'offender' to repent. Those swift enough to retract commute to five years in prison and a $36,000 fine.
