Far more prevalent is a second category: structural discrimination. There are a wide range of policies and practices that restrict Christians living in Muslim majority countries from robustly living out their faith. Limiting full religious freedom is not unique to Muslim majority countries as evidenced in the most recent Pew research report, which notes that 77% of the world currently experiences some form of religious discrimination.16 Pew subdivides its report into two categories: (1) Government Restrictions on Religion and (2) Social Hostilities Due to Religion and then ranks actions according to the classifications Very High, High, Moderate and Low. Utilizing the two most restrictive categories, Very High and High:
70%, or thirty-one out of forty-four Muslim majority countries have Very High or High government restrictions on religion.
48%, or twenty-one out of forty-four Muslim majority countries have Very High or High social hostilities due to religion.
After accounting for overlap between the two categories, 81%, or thirty-six of the forty-four Muslim majority countries, currently maintain either significant social hostilities or government restrictions on religion. Of all groups, the Christian community is the most significantly impacted religious minority community as it is the second largest religious grouping in thirty-one of these thirty-six countries.
These restrictions manifest themselves in numerous inhibiting laws, policies and structural practices such as:
Lack of constitutional protection for freedom of religion and sometimes constitutional wording actively restricting freedom of religion
Interference during religious worship
Limitations or prohibitions on public preaching
Limitations or prohibitions on evangelism
Limitations or prohibitions on conversion
Limitations on the publication and distribution of religious literature
Exclusion of foreign missionaries
Harassment and intimidation of those who adhere to Christianity
Different court systems, limited access to the court system, and failure by the government to prosecute individuals who commit crimes against Christians
Denunciation by the government as a “sect” or “cult”
Different set of tax obligations from the Muslim majority
Physical abuse, imprisonment, displacement from homes
Lack of access to employment in certain sectors
Attending schools where all individuals are required to participate in education related to Islam
Mob violence
Honor killings
Restrictions on marital choices.
