Allowing a religious minority to exist, which in strict confines is not religious freedom.
Penalize apostasy (but only for one religion, Christians in Muslim states can not punish apostates who convert to Islam), you grossly violated religious freedom.

The state funds mosques yet strongly restricts the ability of Christians to build churches? Also violates religious freedom.

Of course also Atheists get nothing either, not even second class citizenship.

Strict confines? Christians have served in Muslim government.


Yet never as the head of state or head of government.

Allowing them to serve in (only some) government positions does not make up for all the other restrictions outlined above. Religious freedom is more than allowing certain religious minorities to exist (under discriminatory rules).

Why does it always seem like there's an Islamist on RWDT trying to convince us all that we actually have Islamism totally wrong and should enthusiastically accept second class status?

Seems like the only avenue of approach they have left to desperately try and convince others of their worldview.

And in most cases you would not get even get that. Second class status is only reserved to certain religions. In most cases Buddhism does not make the list.

Now, answer me this, what's my religious freedom under the Islamic state you speak so fervently in favor of?

I would say you don't have a religion.

Certainly we should ban them from immigration. We have long banned certain groups like Communists from immigration, why not do what we did to Communists in the 50s but do it to Islamists?

I disagree with Al Mumtahanah, "religious freedom" is a western secular (aka atheist) concept which is alien to and non-existent in Islam (as it should be).

A Muslim state has no need for 'religious freedom" and Muslim relationships with unbelievers is governed by scripture. God (swt) had already layed out for us how to govern and how to behave, musings of unbelievers are irrelevant.

People with mental illness. I believe at the time it was enforced, it mostly referred to autism, Down Syndrome, low IQ, or an inability to follow instructions.

Immigration officers would administer tests to them to see how everyone stacked up.
