Why Muslim countries understand secularism from its a$$??
One of the key aspects of secularism is freedom of religion NOT "ban of religion" then you enter the communist zone. and They did exactly that by this law.
I believe the leaders themselves know just how fundamental Islam gets, even if you don`t want to admit it to yourself, Islam has a habit of being manipulated by evil "righteous" men.
And yes, they aren`t aiming to be the land of the free, perhaps attempting to avoid being Afghanistan.
