Freedom of religion or belief implies that people have the right to
embrace a full range of thoughts and beliefs, including those that
others might deem blasphemous; freedom of expression implies that
they have the right to speak or write about them publicly. These
rights are guaranteed in international documents to which most
countries have agreed. Chapter 1 examines and compares the content
of laws prohibiting blasphemy ("blasphemy laws") worldwide through
the lens of international and human rights law principles. The
right to practice your religion freely is one of the cornerstone
freedoms we have in the United States. Freedom of religion is in
the very first amendment of the Bill of Rights in the Constitution.
Other countries take a narrower view of freedom of religion. Some
impose an official religion, while others actively persecute those
practicing a disfavored religion. Chapter 2 reports on the levels
of religious freedom in different countries. The International
Religious Freedom Act of 1998, requires the president to issue
annually an International Religious Freedom Report and designate
the worst violators as Countries of Particular ConcernaCPCsaa
country so designated when its government has engaged in or
tolerated particularly severe violations of religious freedom.
Chapter 3 discusses the efforts of the United States to combat
religious freedom violations in Eurasia. The gravity of the
situation facing religious freedom in Central Asia is of particular
concern. Despite the professed desire to enact more permissive
regulations on religious life, the arguments opposing far-reaching
reforms are cast in terms of national security and regime
stability. The terms of this argument are familiar in Central Asia,
not to mention in other parts of the Muslim world, where Islam
simultaneously occupied a revered position in national, social, and
private life, while also preoccupying national security agencies
and regime loyalists who fear its potential to catalyze political
opposition and terrorism as reported in chapter 4.
