It's traditional. In muslim majority countries we will not let this happen. This is called western democracy. Majority opinion.
Tradition? Your tradition, you follow, no one else needs to. It was normal for women to not be allowed to vote. It was ''tradition'' to keep women in the house. It was normal to own slaves. "Tradition" doesn't get to dictate laws on what people are or aren't allowed to do or have. Your private life, follow your tradition as long your tradition
does not infringe upon others rights.
Christian Peoples can eat pork in Bangladesh, but pork isn't available in market. They may raise hog and eat it in their own area. not openly if pork will be available in market many dishonest business men will mix pork with beef.
Same goes for wine. Anyone can drink it from few places, not everywhere.
That's not an argument. It would be illegal to do so and they will go to jail for that. You don't ban cars just because kids that can pass for an adult might drive it. How do you know dogs or other animals aren't being served despite being illegal? Making pork illegal only hurts people who are not muslim. Not the ''business man'' that might serve it to muslims. That would still be illegal. Come to Malaysia and see how things like alcohol and non halal food serving works.
It's not west you have to understand it. Things are not o easy as you say, all are dependent of public sentiment.
Public sentiment in Myanmar also dictates rohingyas must be driven out. Public sentiment in many parts of India dictates beef eaters should be punished. If the public sentiment puts down other peoples' right, then you don't agree with the public and instead educate them or try to make them see it from others perspective.
Answered already, it's not Europe and, Europe became like this because it is pre dominantly Christian and Christianity has no law it's salvation by grace unlike Judaism , Islam does have its own law like Judaism.
Here's something you should get into your head, and I mean this very seriously.
It's your (muslims) obligation to follow Islamic laws. It's not non-muslims obligation to do so. You are free to oblige to your religion and literally no one here is arguing otherwise. However, you can't force others to oblige to your religious laws.
There is a saying in Turkey, 'Turkish nation should thank God for Ataturk and thank Ataturk for everything else.'
I don't get the fawning admiration over Ataturk. He had secular ideas that I like but also did things like banning headscarf from public administrations like schools, courts and everything, which goes against the secular principle. The dumbest thing however, is that he set up his country where it was easy for the country to get unstable at any period of time. Giving army the power to stage coups to remove anyone who leans religious from power, is a recipe for disaster.
I don't know, but the single most thing I value or want in my country is for it to remain stable. Absolute secularism to me is secondary, after my people have the economic freedom to eat, get education and live a decent life. To trade all that just to preserve secularism by any means necessary and make all my countrymen suffer from the instability, isn't something I would ever want.
I have seen one thing, that is, when countries get richer, they get more educated and then they naturally lean towards secularism. Give people their economic freedom, a decent life, good education and they will choose people in power that represents secularism. It's backwards way to get secularism, to stage coups every time the leader elected
by the people of the country. Look at Bangladesh's last generation and this generation. There's a gigantic difference in views and religious to secular ideas, in this gen than the last one who lived through a bad economy and living condition compared to this one.
