Myanmar approves ‘discriminatory’ marriage bill

President signs a law requiring Buddhist women to seek permission before marrying outside their faith.

Myanmar's president has signed a law requiring Buddhist women to seek permission before marrying outside their faith. Parliament passed the bill in July despite criticism that it discriminates against religious minorities and encourages anti-Muslim sentiment.

Al Jazeera's Florence Looi reports from Yangon, Myanmar.

Other Islamic state countries clearly discriminate against non-muslims, and there isn't so much of a fuss from the Media.

http://www.answering-islam.org/NonMuslims/rights.htm. Of course we buy our oil from them, so really it's a hypocrisy criticizing discrimination when in fact we are promoting it.

Thailand also has also adopted strong discriminatory legislation against foreigners, but they still come to holiday or live.

.... Meanwhile in the EU, these countries and their cultures are being diluted. Do you expect other countries outside the EU to follow suit, of course not !

That State and religion should be completely separate.
