Religious freedom

I wish to respond to the Muslim women’s demand for a full apology and financial donation to a charity for not being allowed to publicly pray, as reported in the Irish Examiner (Aug 23).

What they should be doing is giving thanks that they live in a society that allows them to openly practise their religion. In the Muslim countries I have lived in and visited, other religions are not allowed to display anything about their religion or to propagate same, in some instances for fear of death.
