You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This account has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.

The account 3.148.0.0/16 has been blocked by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):
Why you are seeing this message: Your current IP address is blocked from editing Wikipedia because it appears to belong to a VPN or proxy service.
These types of services are commonly used for abusive editing and circumventing Wikipedia policies, so Wikipedia blocks them as a preventive measure — even if you personally haven't done anything wrong.
How to fix it:

Turn off VPNs, proxies, or tools like iCloud Private Relay (for Apple users) or Microsoft Edge Secure Network. This is the most frequent reason users encounter this block.

Try a different connection. Switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data, or use a home network instead of a public or work one.

Whitelist Wikipedia. You may be able to whitelist Wikipedia from your VPN so that connections to Wikipedia aren't through a VPN service. Instructions for whitelisting Wikipedia on iCloud Private Relay can be found here.

Still blocked? If you believe you are not running an anonymizing proxy or Tor, you should consider checking the configuration to make sure it is accurate. Sometimes the configuration for your network is changed without your knowledge, sometimes by malware. In truly exceptional circumstances, you may request IP block exemption. Approval is limited and based on specific criteria, and you should only request it if you have no other way to edit Wikipedia.

Note: These blocks are about the type of internet connection, not your actions. We appreciate good-faith contributors and want to help you get editing again.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a webhost provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~}}. You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host provider.

Information for administrators:
Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.
This block will expire on 21:48, 22 February 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

''' Religious intolerance''' or '''religious bigotry''' is [[Toleration|intolerance]] of another's [[Religion|religious]] beliefs, practices, faith or lack thereof. 

Statements which are contrary to one's religious beliefs do not constitute intolerance. Religious intolerance, rather, occurs when a person or group (e.g., a society, a religious group, a non-religious group) specifically refuses to tolerate the religious convictions and practices of a religious group or individual.

==Historical perspectives==
The intolerance, and even the active persecution of religious minorities (sometimes religious majorities as in modern [[Bahrain]] or the Pre-Dutch Indonesian kingdoms), has a long history. Almost all religions have historically faced and perpetrated persecution of other viewpoints.

The modern concept of [[religious tolerance]] developed out of the [[European wars of religion]], more specifically out of the [[Peace of Westphalia]] which ended the [[30 Years' War]] (1618–1648), during the [[Protestant Reformation]] and the ensuing conflicts between [[Protestantism|Protestants]] and [[Catholic Church|Catholics]] in the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries. The doctrine of 'religious toleration' was established as a result of the 30 Years' War between the Catholic [[Hapsburgs]] and newly Protestant nations like [[Sweden]] under [[Gustavus Adolphus]]. At this time, rulers sought to eradicate religious sentiments and dogmas from their political [[demesne]]s. The 1648 Treaty gave nations the right of sovereignty and it also allowed minority Christian denominations to exist within the [[Holy Roman Empire]].<ref name=":1">{{Cite journal|last1=Hobolt|first1=Sara B.|author-link=Sara Hobolt|last2=Brug|first2=Wouter Van der|last3=Vreese|first3=Claes H.

The [[constitution]]s of some countries contain provisions which expressly forbid the state from engaging in certain acts of religious intolerance and these same provisions also forbid the state from showing a preference for a particular religion within its own borders, examples of such provisions include the [[First Amendment to the United States Constitution]], the Article 4 of the [[Basic Law for the Federal Republic of Germany]], Article 44.2.1 of the [[Constitution of Ireland]], Article 40 of the [[Constitution of Estonia|Estonian Constitution]],<ref>{{Cite web|first= Axel

Other states, whilst not containing constitutional provisions which are directly related to religion, nonetheless contain provisions which forbid [[Religious discrimination|discrimination on religious grounds]] (see, for example, Article 1 of the [[Constitution of France]], article 15 of the [[Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms]] and article 40 of the [[Constitution of Egypt]]). These constitutional provisions do not necessarily guarantee that all elements of the state remain free from religious intolerance at all times, and practice can vary widely from country to country.
[[File:Desecrated Jain idols on the stone cliffs, Gopachal Parvat, Gwalior Fort, Madhya Pradesh.jpg|thumb|Mughal Emperor [[Babur]] demolished [[Gopachal rock cut Jain monuments|Gopalchal rock cut Jain Monuments]].]]
Other countries, meanwhile, may allow for religious preference, for instance through the establishment of one or more [[state religion]]s, but not for religious intolerance. [[Finland]], for example, has the [[Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland]] and [[Finnish Orthodox Church]] as its official state religions, yet upholds the right of free expression of religion in article 11 of [[Constitution of Finland|its constitution]].

In [[Nazi Germany]], smaller religious minorities such as the [[Jehovah's Witnesses]] and the [[Baháʼí Faith in Germany|Baháʼí Faith]] were banned in Germany, while the eradication of [[Judaism]] was attempted along with the [[The Holocaust|genocide]] of its adherents.

Hundreds of religious riots have been recorded, in every decade of independent India. In these riots, the victims have included many Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, Christians and Buddhists. The US Commission on International Religious Freedom classified India as Tier-2 in persecuting religious minorities, the same as that of Iraq and Egypt. In a 2018 report, [[United States Commission on International Religious Freedom|USCIRF]] charged [[Hindu nationalism|Hindu nationalist]] groups for their campaign to "[[Saffronisation|Saffronize]]" India through violence, intimidation, and harassment against non-Hindus.<ref name=":02">{{cite report |url=https://www.uscirf.gov/sites/default/files/USCIRF2018AnnualReport_abb_wlinks.pdf |title=Annual Report of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom |date=April 2018 |publisher=[[United States Commission on International Religious Freedom|U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom]] |page=37}}</ref> Approximately one-third of state governments enforced anti-conversion and/or anti-cow slaughter<ref>{{Cite web |title=States Where Cow Slaughter is Banned So Far, and States Where it Isn't |date=26 May 2017 |url=https://www.news18.com/news/india/states-where-cow-slaughter-is-banned-so-far-and-states-where-it-isnt-1413425.html}}</ref> laws against non-Hindus, and mobs engaged in violence against Muslims whose families have been engaged in the dairy, leather, or beef trades for generations, and against Christians for proselytizing.

Some countries retain laws which forbid the [[defamation]] of religious beliefs. Some constitutions retain laws which forbid all forms of [[blasphemy]] (e.g., [[Germany]] where, in 2006, [[Manfred van H.]] was convicted of blasphemy against [[Islam]]).<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.expatica.com/de/news/Suspended-prison-for-German-who-insulted-Koran_135903.html|title=Suspended prison for German who insulted Koran|website=www.expatica.com|access-date=2016-05-17}}</ref> The connection between intolerance and blasphemy laws is closest when the laws apply to only one religion. In [[Pakistan]] blasphemy directed against either the tenets of the [[Qur'an]] or the Prophet [[Prophet Muhammad|Muhammad]] is punishable by either life imprisonment or death. [[Apostasy]], the rejection of one's old religion, is also criminalized in a number of countries, notably [[Afghanistan]] with [[Abdul Rahman (convert)|Abdul Rahman]] being the first to face the [[Capital punishment|death penalty]] for converting to [[Christianity]]. Though, he was later released.<ref>[http://news.inq7.net/world/index.php?index=1&story_id=70608 Afghan convert likely to be freed after Karzai intervention] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160115061705/http://news.inq7.net/world/index.php?index=1&story_id=70608|date=January 15, 2016}}, by Sardar Ahmad, ''mq7.net'', 26 March 2006, retrieved 28 March 2006</ref>

The [[United Nations]] upholds the right to freely express one's religious beliefs, as listed in the [[Charter of the United Nations|UN's charter]], and additionally in articles 2 and 18 of the [[Universal Declaration of Human Rights]]. Article 2 forbids discrimination based on religious grounds. Article 18 protects the freedom to change one's religion.

In its 2000 annual report on international religious freedom, the [[U.S. State Department]] cited China, [[Myanmar]], Iran, Iraq and [[Sudan]] for persecuting people for their religious faith and practices.  The report, which covers July 1999 through June 2000, details U.S. policy toward countries where religious freedom is violated in the view of the State Department.<ref>[http://www.uscirf.gov/mediaroom/press/2000.html "United States Commission on International Freedom of Religion"] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20051103150009/http://uscirf.gov/mediaroom/press/2000.html |date=2005-11-03 }}, Press Releases 2000, retrieved 25 May 2007.</ref>

The [[advocacy group]] [[Freedom House]] produced a report entitled "Religious Freedom in the World" in 2000 which ranked countries according to their religious freedom. The countries receiving a score of 7, indicating those where religious freedom was least respected, were [[Turkmenistan]], Iran, Saudi Arabia, [[Sudan]], [[Myanmar]] and [[North Korea]]. China was given a score of 6 overall, however [[Tibet]] was listed separately in the 7 category. Those countries receiving a score of 1, indicating the highest level of religious freedom, were [[Estonia]], [[Finland]], [[Republic of Ireland|Ireland]], the [[Netherlands]], [[Norway]] and the United States.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://freedomhouse.org/report/freedom-world/freedom-world-2000|title=Freedom in the World 2000 {{!}} Freedom House|website=freedomhouse.org|access-date=2016-05-17}}</ref>

Within those countries that openly advocate religious tolerance there remain debates as to the limits of tolerance. Some individuals and religious groups, for example, retain beliefs or practices which involve acts contrary to established law, such as the use of [[Cannabis (drug)|cannabis]] by members of the [[Rastafari movement]], the religious use of eagle feathers by non-[[Native Americans in the United States|Native Americans]] (contrary to the [[eagle feather law]], 50 CFR 22), or the [[Mormonism and polygamy|practice of polygamy amongst the LDS Church]] in the 19th century.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Official Declaration 1|url=https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/eng/scriptures/dc-testament/od/1|access-date=2023-01-02|website=www.churchofjesuschrist.org|language=en}}</ref>

== In Australia ==
Religious freedom has developed partly due to the agreeable relationship between religious groups in its society. Several non-governmental organizations promoted tolerance and better understanding among religions in the country, both indigenous and non-indigenous. These groups included the Columbian Centre for Christian-Muslim Relations, the [[National Council of Churches in Australia]] and its affiliated Aboriginal and Islander Commission, and the [[Australian Council of Christians and Jews]]. In Victoria, Australia the [[Racial and Religious Tolerance Act 2001]] makes illegal "conduct that incites hatred against, serious contempt for, or revulsion or severe ridicule of, that other person or class of persons" on the grounds of religious belief.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/vic/consol_act/rarta2001265/|title=Racial and Religious Tolerance Act 2001|website=www.austlii.edu.au|access-date=2016-05-17}}</ref>

In 2003, in response to an increase in [[Islamophobia in Australia|anti-Islamic sentiment]], the [[HREOC]] undertook a project involving national consultations on eliminating prejudice against Arab and Muslim citizens. As part of the consultations, the commission considered whether Muslim citizens shared an ethnic origin or race, as well as a religion, which would entitle them to comprehensive protection under the Federal Race Discrimination Act. The commission's report, made public in June 2004, contained no findings on the racial status of Arab and Muslim citizens. In January 2005 the leader of the neo-Nazi [[Australian Nationalist Movement]] was connected to incidents in 2004 in which several Asian-owned businesses and a synagogue in Perth were firebombed or sprayed with racist graffiti. On December 11, 2005, there was a riot in the Sydney suburb of Cronulla, that erupted because a group of Lebanese-Australian youths had assaulted two lifeguards.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.acma.gov.au/webwr/_assets/main/lib101068/2gb%2520-%2520report%25201485.pdf|title=Error {{!}} ACMA|website=www.acma.gov.au|access-date=2016-05-17|archive-date=2016-07-02|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160702141545/http://www.acma.gov.au/webwr/_assets/main/lib101068/2gb%20-%20report%201485.pdf|url-status=dead}}</ref> Demonstrators against the assault displayed anti-Arab and anti-Muslim slogans.
