Misuse of the blasphemy law (II)

Letter September 04, 2012
I am glad a religious scholar has come forward to present the true picture of Islam.

ISLAMABAD: This article was a commendable effort by Mr Ashrafi. I am glad a religious scholar has come forward to present the true picture of Islam. But I have one question for Mr Ashrafi. During Prophet Muhammad’s (pbuh) time and that of the Caliphs, there were non-Muslims living in Madina and its adjacent areas. They had their places of worship where they could pray freely. Why, then, don’t we condemn the Saudi government for not allowing any non-Muslim place of worship to be established in Saudi Arabia?
