How do countries like Saudi arabia (where Mecca - the holy site for Muslims is situated), Kuwait, Iran and some more Arabian countries treat Non-muslims ?.
Look at what Saudi Arabia is doing to non-Muslims (where Hindus and Buddhists get the worst discrimination). --> Non Non-Muslim can pray to his god according to his faith using the pictures,small idols & religious articles of his form of understanding of the god is allowed, even for his own private use let alone public use. --> In case of killing of a person, the Compensation for a Muslim man is the highest and Muslim woman gets the next highest compensation. Christians follow next and Hindu Men get the second least compensation while Hindu women the least. --> Most of the Muslim Mideast countries (save for Oman and Dubai alone) don't allow even a single Hindu/Buddhist worship place. --> No chance for the people of those countries to even willfully convert to another religion. Only Non-Muslims can convert and that too to Islam. Saudi Arabia has a seperate Religious department in its government the solitary purpose of which is to convert non-muslim to islams. --> But at the same time, Saudi Arabia wants to build Madarassas, Mosques and other Islamic institutions all around the world and fuel its brand of a old, interpretation of Islma that fits well with Nomadic Tribes in the desert land of Arabia. The above is almost the same of a few more countries like Kuwait, Iran and etc.
--> While Muslim communities all around the world will indulge in violence and rioting if somebody draws a cartoon on Mohhammed but the same people will sit quiet when Baamiyan Buddhas and Hindu Temples get blasted/taken over in one of the lands of their Ummah (Afghanistan, Pakistan, Bangladesh). --> Muslim Insurgency in all around the world indulge in violence from within, against most of the democratic, secular and open governements (India, Us, UK, France, Australia, Phillipines, Israel, Thailand ) and moderate Muslims in those land won't speak out and restrain their own violent sections.
Just compare the Drop in Hindu population in Bangladesh & Pakistan as against the growth of Muslims in India - ever since Independence. Any reactions ?.
When countries like those stated above act so fundamentally and inhumanely against non-muslims, Why should non-muslims practise equality, show respect and not be prejudiced against Muslims ?.
People like Tasleema Nasreen, Salman Rushdie have openly spoken about this intolerance shown by almost all Majority-Muslim countries. That's why they are appreciated by Non-Muslims who have already given Muslims equal respect and rights (if not special laws, reservations and rights) in their own lands.
Any reasonable, discerning Muslim please let us all non-muslims know about your opinions, justifications (if any) on the above intolerant discriminations meted out to non-Muslim people.
