 | | The Alawites are a secretive group that seems to believe in the divine nature of Ali. |  | | Conflicts between Muslims and non-Muslims made the persecution of both Muslims and non-Muslims a recurring phenomenon during the history of Islam. |  | | Enver Hoxha conducted a campaign to extinguish all forms of religion in Albania, a majority Muslim country, in 1967, closing all religious buildings and declaring the state atheist. |

 | | When the Muslims laid siege to their fortifications, they surrendered, and, according to the Bukhari hadith, their males were subsequently executed for treason, and the females and children put into slavery. |  | | The Qu'ran explicitly prohibits persecution, but a very few claim that the later appearance of the more antagonistic verses is an abrogation of the former, implying God changed his mind. |  | | Persecution of secularized Muslims in the West by Islamists |

| | Symposium: The Muslim Persecution of Christians |
 | | Bat Ye'or: Muslims are not persecuted by Christians for their faith, but there are bloody political conflicts like in ex-Yugoslavia and in Chechnya. |  | | However according to the classical views of Muslim jurists and theologians, these verses have been abrogated by later ones that are more intransigent. |  | | Besides, there is something terribly abject and revolting to see people persecuted for their faith, their color or what they are; to see their identity, their history usurped and their dignity denied. |

| | Introduction: Halt Religious Persecution |
 | | Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance. |  | | The tentacles of religious persecution in today's world reach out from disputes of past eras and present political agendas, prejudice and misunderstanding, to strangle communities of faith. |  | | In Iran, members of the Baha'i faith have been sentenced to death for refusing to renounce their beliefs. |

 | | For Muslims the mosque is a place for worship and education, a refuge from the cares of the world. |  | | The same is true of early legal writings of Muslim scholars such as al-Shaybani, who in the seventh century started the case method of teaching Islamic international law that was subsequently put into writing in the twelfth century by a disciple in India. |  | | Because Islam is a holistic religion integrating all aspects of life, it follows that a reform movement predicated on religion necessarily confronts the social, economic, and political realities of the society in which it develops. |
