Pakistan

96% of its population of 150 million is Muslim. An Islamic Republic, the government has been pursuing a policy of Islamization of the legal system, taxation and public life, despite widespread popular misgivings. This has resulted in extreme excesses in the persecution of Christians under the infamous “Blasphemy Law”. According to this law it is forbidden to speak against the Koran or the Prophet Mohammed, under the sentence of death.
