Jailing Christians In Morocco

[Ruggedtouch]

Bismillah


salam Faith, hope Charity,


Let me explain first, that neither Morocco, nor any other so called Muslim country applies Islamic Sharia` (law) with exception of Saudi Arabia. Thus, i m not sure that this sentence is a fruit of Islamic law.


For example, here in Egypt, local Nasara (Christians= Copts) have a huge missionary efforts including the use of money to convert Muslims in slum areas specially.


The government does not do anything. But as Muslims, since this is our duty and if it shows anything it shows our shortcoming to curb our brothers and sisters socio economic problems, Muslims do work to apply comprehensive development in such area. However, those efforts are simply public that has nothing to do with the government.


But as for the position of Islam from one who apostates, you will find threads on this issue, run a search I suggest.

I was surprised you responded as you did, Muslimah. If you intended as such, it was a refreshing bit of honesty. Your comment confirms that under a true sharia, (as practiced in the KSA), overt hostility and explicit suppression of competing religions is a part of orthodox Islamic faith.



While that dynamic is patently obvious to even a casual observer, it clearly does portray an obvious double standard that muslims are loathe to admit.


It also makes a total mockery of the “no compulsion in religion” slogan. The following is from the U.S. State Dept
. website.

International Religious Freedom Report 2004

The country is ruled by a monarchy with a legal system based on Islamic law (Shari'a). The Government does not provide legal protection for freedom of religion, and such protection does not exist in practice. Islam is the official religion, and <b>the law requires that all citizens be Muslims.</b> The Government prohibits the public practice of non-Muslim religions. The Government recognizes the right of non-Muslims to worship in private; however, it does not always respect this right in practice and does not define this right in law.
