the right to freedom of religion is part of civil and political rights. which is the right to fundamental freedom that is obtained as the essence of the existence of a human being that has been recognized in various international conventions and regional instruments. universal conventions and declarations governing religious freedom are universal declarations of human rights, conventions on civil and political rights and many others. so many international rules governing the freedom of religion it signifies that as a protection of religious freedom for everyone. as a form of fundamental right, the state may not intervene or hinder a person's freedom of religion. Instead, the state should be able to provide safeguards that guarantee freedom of religion. be it legislative, executive or otherwise.
In Maurice Craston's opinion, there are two rights, namely legal rights and moral rights:
1. legal rights consist of the following rights:
- general positive legal rights, namely the rights that are enjoyed by everyone given the constitution
- traditional legal rights, namely the original rights of community members
- positive legal rights of specific classes of persons, namely special rights that are not owned by everyone, this is exclusive such as the rights of soldiers, doctors, judges and others.
- the positive legal rights of a single person, namely the rights granted on the basis of the status or position of the person and these rights are special such as presidents, kings, prime ministers and others.
2. Â moral rights, is a morally inherent right;
- the moral rights of one person only, which is a set of moral rights that arise from reality as a result of positions, duties and professions. These rights can be juridical or moral
- the moral rights of specific groups of people, namely a set of rights owned by a group of citizens because they have a certain role. for example: the rights of parents to their children.
- the moral rights of all people in all situation, namely human rights that are owned by everyone without exception. and has nothing to do with position, or wealth
- Islamophobia issue must be solved
latest news. A man was arrested in Las Vegas, the State of Nevada, United States (US) for committing crimes of racism against a Muslim family. The perpetrator carried out his actions against his neighbor for months. The perpetrator, 68-year-old Ricky Unwich, was seen smearing pork on the doorknob and fence of the victim's family home. Not only that, the perpetrator also put pork into the back of the victim's car. When arrested by the police, Unwich admitted to doing so because the victim was a Muslim family.
According to the perpetrator, he believed, it was Muslims who carried out the terror attacks on October 11, 2001.
The latest news is one of the acts of Islamophobia of the many cases. in matters of discrimination that lead to conflicts that impede human rights, among others.
- xenophobia, extreme dislike or fear of strangers, customs, religion, etc. Xenophobia often overlaps with forms of prejudice including racism and homophobia, but there are important differences.
- religious fanaticism, it can be said that because he is too fanatical about his religion, giving rise to a discriminatory view that thinks his religion is far better than other religions.
Islamophobia is not a new issue, but an issue that has existed for a long time. This started because of the many terrorists labeled Islam, giving rise to the perception that Islam is a very scary religion of terror. In fact, to overcome the increase in Islamophobia, the state must be responsible for making strict rules or providing education to the public so that it can minimize the re-emergence of Islamophobia.
