Islam is the second largest religion in the world. The number of followers of this religion in the world is more than two billion. Christians are number one. After this comes Buddhism and then Hinduism. Those who follow Islam i.e. Muslims live mainly in the countries of Arabia, Africa and South Asia. Indonesia is the largest Islamic country in terms of population. After that the largest number of Muslims live in India. However, there are many countries in the world where the Muslim population is close to zero. In a way Islam is banned in these countries.
One such country is North Korea. In fact, this country is in the headlines in the world because of its dictator Kim Jong. It considers America and Western powers as its biggest enemies. The population of this country is only 2.6 crore but it has one of the largest military forces in the world. Officially, North Korea is a secular country. This means that the citizens here have the freedom to follow their religion. But, the condition is that your religion should not harm the country, society and social fabric. However, people here believe in egalitarianism and Kondoism. Both of these are the old traditional religions of this place. Kim Jong’s government also promotes this religion. Some of the population follow Buddhism and Christianity.
Dictator’s order
As we know North Korea is ruled by dictator Kim Jong. In such a situation it is a crime to follow any foreign religion especially Islam in this country. Although the law here says that it is a secular country, the same rule also states that your religion should not harm the social fabric nor should it create any kind of threat to the country. According to the report, there are currently only 3000 Muslims in North Korea. They have no mosque for worship. The only mosque inside the Iranian embassy complex in the capital Pyongyang is for Iranians living in the embassy. North Korea and Iran have very good relations.
In fact, North Korea calls itself a communist country and communism has no religion. There is dictatorship in the name of communism. It is a country completely cut off from the world. The personal freedom of the people here is almost zero. No man can do anything with his own mind. Even what a person sees on his mobile phone is decided by the government here. In such a case, there is almost a ban on following any religion of the outside world, including Islam. It is common for anyone who opposes the dictator’s orders to be sentenced to death.
