Interesting case, but it’s worth pointing out that the legal case was not about “living and worshipping in freedom”, as the caption in your post suggests. The woman in question was not pursued for being a Christian. (Or if she was, that’s not what the legal case was about.) Legally, she was prosecuted for insulting Islam. That’s a big difference.

Where I myself live, the RCC is also very small, but I am entirely free (and always have been) to practice Roman Catholicism openly. However, if I insulted one of the major religions, I’d be in trouble pretty fast, both legal and practical. (Not death-row though.)

Point being, we shouldn’t conflate these matters. Religious freedom and the right to insult other religions are not the same thing.

She was attacked for using the wrong drinking fountain. And when she persisted, they accused her of flirting with a white woman.

Mut. mut.
 
Can you openly proclaim the Catholic religion to be the one, true religion in your country?
