This world belongs to all the beings in the world. So we have the right to live anywhere and practice any religion. The restriction to embrace a particular in a particular region cannot be accepted. Many Muslim countries including Pakistan have passed bill to punish the Christians in the name of blasphemy of their religion. Innocent people were being persecuted, jailed and killed in some of the Muslim countries. In the name of religions, the human beings are humiliated and ill treated. It is not a stone age to agree and follow the state religion. We are living in a computer era and everywhere the human right is being implemented.

As we all have right to speak, write and to profess it is important that all human beings must have the right to practice a religion. Religions are meant for the good of the human society. If any nation has a law to restrict any human being to embrace a religion is violating the human rights. The defamation of religions is a serious affront to human dignity leading to a restriction on the freedom of their adherents and incitement to religious violence. The world as global village must be aware of the restrictions to embrace a religion and should protect the sentiments and beliefs of the human beings. There is superior or inferior religion but every religion is good and they lead the human beings to a good state of life. Passing a bill for condemning the defamation of religion is a warning to the Muslim nations who persecute the Christians and other religious minorities in the world.
