The following is my answer to a Quora question: “As a Muslim, would it bother you if non-Muslims are treated as second class citizens?”
People should not be
discriminated against because of their religion. I believe that this is absolutely contrary to
Islam. However, I am also aware that
this is not held my many other Muslims. It
is a fact that non-Muslims have faced restrictions, and continue to face them,
in Muslim-majority nations. Islam is not
a monolithic faith. As such, Muslims do
not agree on many things, this being one of them. My conception of the religion is personal, and
I am not obliged to agree or condone the belief otherwise, even if there are
scholars who justify it.
