Assalam-o-Alekum; I want to ask a question about the status of minorities in Islam and is it right to go and burn or abuse there holy places and books with out any reason.

From Canada

Answer:

Dear Brother, Assalam o Alaikum.

Non-Muslims in an Islamic state do posses special rights irrespective of the fact that they are minorities or majorities. Under any circumstances it is not permissible to burn holy places of non-Muslims or books or to abuse them, by Muslim individuals, groups or government agencies. However, non-Muslims are not allowed to abuse any Prophet, to be little or insult Islamic laws. In case a non-Muslim insults Prophet Muhammad, he shall be tried in the court under blasphemy laws.
