Is this freedom of speech or inciting violence?

Japan has such a ban and muslim worker immigrants are not allowed in. I also noticed the absence of riots, religiously motivated killings, bombings, and such.

Because Japan lets very few people of any race or ethnicity stay in their country and they remain very ethnically homogeneous with their culture included.

islam if banned from a nation, would destroy its foundation since its a sociopolitical system as much as a religious one, and without its sociopolitical aspect, its participants could not thrive. Muslims could practice their 5 pillars in their own homes.

I don't know where you got your information, but there are an estimated 100,000 Muslims living in Japan and most of them are foreigners.

Some fantastic quotes from this article:

The Japanese approach to Muslims is also evidenced by the numbers: in Japan there are 127 million residents, but only ten thousand Muslims, less than one hundredth of a percent. The number of Japanese who have converted is thought to be few. In Japan there are a few tens of thousands of foreign workers who are Muslim, mainly from Pakistan, who have managed to enter Japan as workers with construction companies. However, because of the negative attitude towards Islam they keep a low profile.

Back to back sentences which are contradictory...

Second, most Japanese have no religion, but behaviors connected with the Shinto religion along with elements of Buddhism are integrated into national customs . In Japan, religion is connected to the nationalist concept, and prejudices exist towards foreigners whether they are Chinese, Korean, Malaysian or Indonesian, and Westerners don’t escape this phenomenon either. There are those who call this a “developed sense of nationalism” and there are those who call this “racism”. It seems that neither of these is wrong.

This is probably the worst aspect of Japanese culture.

And Third, the Japanese dismiss the concept of monotheism and faith in an abstract god, because their world concept is apparently connected to the material, not to faith and emotions. It seems that they group Judaism together with Islam. Christianity exists in Japan and is not regarded negatively, apparently because the image of Jesus perceived in Japan is like the images of Buddha and Shinto.

I wonder if he knows Shinto isn't a person or deity?

Wikipedia is more accurate than most people give it credit for. Crowd-sourcing information can be startlingly accurate...

In this particular case, it's far more accurate than the badly written article citing the counter-point...

 

[smaneck]

Because wikipedia is oh so credible...

It is more credible that the source he cited.

There are 100,000 Muslims in Japan, but only 10,000 of them are citizens.

All that means is that the Japanese have no interest in converting, it doesn't mean their religion is prohibited in any way.

ROFL

I missed that!

In any case, here is another article on Islam in Japan.

Freedom of speech or prejudice and hate speach?:

Freedom of speech. He isn't telling anybody to go attack their neighbors and he says these things only apply in a state of jihad.

That said, I have no idea what justification they could be using to say Jews are polytheists. That's just weird.

Reposting because the question hasn't been answered yet:

WoodrowLi,

I don't understand the political agenda here; is inciting distrust amongst Muslims [which admittedly some sects bother me] supposed to drive us back in to the arms of Christianity?

Be honest, I'm curious.
