North Korea topped the list, but of the top ten countries on that list, 8 of them have Muslim majorities and 7 are Islamic.

The countries in order are:

North Korea
Iran
Afghanistan
Saudi Arabia
Somalia
Maldives
Yemen
Iraq
Uzbekistan
Laos

The website features an interactive map listing the top 50 countries that are hardest for Christians to live

Of course, Islamic nations, such Pakistan and Egypt, predominate the top 50 as well.

Too random, you can't just put it that way as the situation is more hard and harsh for the majority Muslims themselves.

Try putting the top 10 countries who caused all the mess and responsible for the tragedy of many countries regardless their faith.
USA, USA, USA, USA, UK, UK, UK, UK, UK, Russia.

I don't know how they categorized these countries, but I certainly do not necessarily disagree with the list.

If anything, Pakistan and Egypt should have replaced Iraq and Uzbekistan.

It's also a good time to ask, in what way are the laws that Muslim countries practice today any different from the ones that were practiced by Islamic states in centuries past?

If Muslim countries are more liberal today regarding non-Muslims - and it's hard to believe they aren't - then we can put the kabash to the claims that Islamic law is/was tolerant of non-Muslims.
