Why governments interfere in Muslim’s religious issues?

By

It is noted that various countries across the glob are dictating their Muslim citizens to follow them in their religious life, as they want. Some countries made amendments in their constitutions to force Muslims on what they do and what they do not.

Student of history knows it very well that Muslims do not interfere in anybody's life. The Fatwa or decree that is being issued by Ulema is only for Muslims. It belongs not to other communities. Despite it, Muslims are under pressure from various sections and from various governments across the glob to follow the rules have been passed by them.

How Muslims pray, what Muslims eat, which kind of dresses are being wore by Muslim women, which kinds of foods Muslims intend to take it and such as other issues are related to only Muslims.

Any country, organisation and any government cannot force Muslims or Muslim women on what they do and what they do not in their daily life.

Such move is strongly condemnable and a bid to keep Muslims away from their Islamic rights. It is an effort to rob the rights from Muslims given to them by Islam.

If such moves continued to work, then it would be a religious catastrophe where Muslims deprived to take advantages from their rights secured it by Islam.
