(1) Whoever insults publicly or by dissemination of writings (§ 11 para 3) the content of religious or ideological beliefs of others in a way that is likely to disturb the public peace, with imprisonment to three years or a fine.
(2) Likewise, anyone who publicly or by dissemination of writings (§ 11 paragraph 3) an abused domestic church or other religious society or ideological grouping, their institutions or customs in a way that is appropriate, the public peace . disturb
order is liable to prosecution in Germany to make, the blasphemy including "public peace" disturbed, but then you can also go to prison.
