blasphemy laws and religious extremism
Blasphemy laws refer to legislation that criminalizes certain acts or expressions deemed disrespectful or offensive towards religious beliefs, symbols, or figures. These laws aim to protect religious sentiments and prevent religious hate speech or insults. Religious extremism, on the other hand, is the adherence or promotion of extreme beliefs and practices within a particular religion. It involves an uncompromising and rigid interpretation of religious teachings, often leading to intolerance, violence, or the rejection of differing beliefs.
