Religions are personal and private

-

With the exception of persons who have bound themselves to religious orders, who can wear robes, cassocks etc. religions and beliefs are personal and private

We the majority have no ill will against your beliefs, your solidarity, your right to convert people of other faiths

The world is not against Islam.all we seek and expect is mutual respect. Islamist’s keep your religious fervour, your conviction, that Islam is the answer,to all the ills of this world.you are free,to choose, your path for the salvation of mankind. The rest of mankind, comprising of some of the oldest religions have chosen different paths and practices for the salvation of their spirits. We the majority have no ill will against your beliefs, your solidarity, your right to convert people of other faiths. However, in this context, you have to tolerate and accept the right of other believers.

Religious beliefs must be private, attire and appearance which propagate any religion, must not in any way appear to impose, your faith in the public.
