Article 44.1 requires a ban on blasphemy

According to Article 44.1 of the Constitution, “the State acknowledges that the homage of public worship is due to Almighty God. It shall hold His Name in reverence and shall respect and honour religion.“

This clause does not differ at all from the fundamental tenet of Islam, namely, submission to Allah ( the Arabic word for “God”).

If we accept Art. 44.1, we cannot logically object to the ban on blasphemy (Art.40.6.1.i).
