85% of the world’s refugees are Muslims but they do not seek asylum in the 56 Muslim countries.
Several Muslim-majority countries restrict religious freedom to varying degrees, with some prohibiting the public practice or manifestation of any religion other than Islam. Saudi Arabia is a notable example, where the practice of other religions is severely restricted, and apostasy from Islam is considered a capital crime. Afghanistan under the Taliban has also been cited for its intolerance towards minority religions.
Here's a more detailed look:
- The Kingdom's Basic Law, based on Sharia, does not allow the practice of any religion other than Islam, and religious freedom is severely restricted.
- The Taliban regime has been criticized for its intolerance, including the destruction of non-Islamic religious sites and restrictions on religious minorities.
- All citizens are required to be Muslim.
- While not all citizens are required to be Muslim, all Malays of Malay ethnicity are required to be Muslim.
- While Islam, Christianity, and Judaism are recognized, other religions face significant restrictions, and members of minority faiths can face difficulties obtaining necessary documents.
- Countries like Brunei, where certain religious groups like Jehovah's Witnesses, Baha'is, and Ahmadis are banned, and Eritrea, where only a few religious groups are officially recognized, also exhibit limitations on religious freedom.
