137. Most Islamic countries give complete religious freedom to Jews
Edited on Thu Sep-16-10 09:13 PM by grantcart
But since you asked for one I will start with the largest


Indonesia

The ruling ideology of Indonesia is called Pancasila

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pancasila_(politics)


Here is the exact wording


Chapter XI. Religion Article 29 1. The State shall be based upon the belief in the One and Only God. 2. The State guarantees all persons the freedom of worship, each according to his/her own religion or belief<11>.



Islam is predominately an Asian religion. The three largest Islamic countries are Indonesia, Pakistan and Bengladesh. There are more Muslims in China than Saudia Arabia. But because most of these Muslims live in harmony and don't generate headlines people remain ignorant of the true nature of the overwhelming majority of Muslims, their tolerance and the fact that most Muslims living in countries with Islamic countries live in countries that provide for secular countrol.
