Religious Freedom Could Be Coming To Muslim Countries...

in #islam7 years ago (edited)

This looks promising, Bahrain the first to sign the document:

..."in January this year a ground-breaking summit was held in Marrakesh, Morocco.... This affair was attended by 250 Muslim religious leaders, heads of state, and scholars. It resulted in the drafting of the Marrakesh Declaration. It is a 750-word document calling for religious freedom for non-Muslims in majority-Muslim countries."

..."on September 23, 2017, the government of the island nation of Bahrain, located in the Persian Gulf an separated from Saudi Arabia only by a bridge, issued the Bahrain Declaration for Religious Tolerance. It claims “freedom of choice” is “a divine gift.” It further states, “We unequivocally reject compelled observance” of Islam. It explains, “Every individual has the freedom to practice their religion, providing they do no harm to others, respect the laws of the land, and accept responsibility, spiritually and materially, for their choices.” As the king of Bahrain’s representative, Prince Nasser bin Hamad al Khalifa signed the document."

Let's keep it in prayer..

Good news! This post deserved my upvote. resteemed for you.

This would truly be a miracle. We can hope...

This is indeed a good news

All these mythologies were crucial in getting humanity to where we are today. This aspect of human religiosity should be respected although that in no way needs to assert that any of these religions are anything other than cultural grand narratives espousing various philosophies of who and what we are. This is a move from childhood into early adult cognition and crucial if humanity is to survive.
Childish interpretations​ of these myths is something no spiritual adult has to consider, though; in fact, it's better to teach your children ASAP that Santa and the Easter​ bunny are not real and adults have no compulsion​ to listen to children in adult bodies when it comes to taking these myths literally.
The myths are true, though, just not in childish interpretations​.

I agree Islam is false, christianity, agree to disagree..

Please don't misrepresent my post! it's a childish thing to do. I never said religion was false, I said they are all based on myth. The only way they would be false is if God truly didn't exist, period, making the atheist's right--that, however, would still leave Buddhism, Shinto, and Jainism as not being false as their myths are non-theistic.
I do believe, though, sir, that you haven't read the Bible which clearly states that Yahweh has a covenant with the children of Ismael--along with a covenant with the Hebrews and a new covenant with the Christians. These are all facts contained in this book which I believe to be the masterpiece of a demiurge...
Please read the book more carefully would be my suggestion​.
There is a crucial point to be made, though, about what the Bible says and what is historically and scientifically​ accurate. These are by no means the same thing.

Hmm, ok let me put it another way, christianity is 100% truth and Islam isn't.. no myths anywhere in christianity and neither history or science has ever unquestionably disproved any aspect of it. Have drawn this conclusion after studying the subject over 40 years... tnx anyhow for the suggestion.

Praise the Lord
