The non-Muslims in Malaysia and Indonesia living under Islamic policies

Jenny Hia once made headlines for refusing to wear the hijab in school despite being Christian. And increasingly, non-Muslims like her in parts of Indonesia and Malaysia have to live with Syariah-inspired restrictions they deem prohibitive.

In Malaysia, people can convert from other religions to Islam but not allowed to convert to other religions from Islam.

This is so true! I live in a Muslim majority country (Indonesia), I often being harassed from my fellow schoolmates for not being a Muslim, they often mock my religion. This is true discrimination we are facing.

When in minority they want full rights to practise their religion,
But in majority they deny others the same .
Religion/cult of violence and intolerance.
May mankind one day find the courage to eradicate this evil

I'm from Malaysia and its true we are facing discrimination here

Islam offended by everything but ashamed of nothing

As a non-Muslim that grew in Indonesia, not all regions supress us with Sharia law, but yes there are still several areas that force us to wear Hijab in Government schools.

And, Freedom of Religion is not equal in the eyes of the law 👌

Indonesia will impose "halal" label for every food stall in Bali. This is OUTRAGEOUS!! As a Balinese this is a form of spiritual oppressions. Pork and wine has been our food culture and it taste good and no health problem moderately consuming it. I feel "colonialize" by Middle East culture proxy. Imposition of any label such as Halal or Kosher or any other religious specific diet should be ILLEGAL, because it is discriminative.

I'm from Malaysia they literally discriminate us by giving housing discounts to the majority and also in terms of education they give them entrances to public Universities despite Chinese people scoring way higher grades here. Literally someone can score 10As in a test here while the Muslim here with 6As are able to enter the University but not the Chinese or indian people here. The 10A thing is literally not exaggerating it happens really often

Whereever Islam is dominant, people will be opressed.

[miniscoup]

What happens is that those who are not Muslim will always live with a shadow of fear. Because the government includes religion in the regulations

[lordronn]
