Info for Morocco is incorrect[edit]

There's no death penalty or any other legal punishment for apostasy in Morocco. The ruling talked about in the source is 1) non-binding, 2) was later reversed. MassNssen (talk)


Converting a muslim in Kazakhstan is not crime.--Kaiyr (talk) 10:23, 29 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Kaiyr: It appears that it was prosecuted as a criminal offense in Kazakhstan in at least one recent case. Jarble (talk) 21:00, 18 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Jarble: The actual reason behind it is stirring religious hatred. While the Asianews article might give off the impression that Forum 18 said this was done because of trying to convert others, the rejection of stirring religious hatred by fellow members, who don't deny evangelization, in the same article shows that he was actually alleged to be involved in religious hatred.
Also the actual Forum 18 article states he was accused of it when discussing his faith, not because of it, read it at Refwiorld. Anyway, there doesn't seem to be any law in Kazakhstan against it. If other laws are used so, then we'll need a strongly reliable source.
Another thing it reminds me of, countries like Nepal effectively ban any proselytization [1]. Indonesia too bans it for everyone. If proselytization is to be included here, then it should be for everyone. MonsterHunter32 (talk) 17:00, 23 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This map file is erroneous and urgently must be corrected.[edit]

This map file is erroneous and urgently must be corrected.

All the five central Asian countries Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan are officially and strictly secular, and Islam (and any other religion) has no official status whatsoever and there are definitely no apostasy laws in any of those countries. Incitement of hatred laws in those countries are totally separate laws with no connection to Islam. That is why all the Central Asian countries must be removed from this map.

  • Please note, none of those countries, east of the Caspian, are included in the map "Apostasy laws in 2013".

How should proselytization ban be included?[edit]

This map only includes proselytization among Muslims, but countries like Nepal and Indonesia have a general ban on proselytization to anyone. The latter I did represent on the map. This thing doesn't fall within the ambit of apostasy. Shouldn't it include all countries where trying to convert others is illegal? MonsterHunter32 (talk) 17:06, 23 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
