Idol worship is prohibited or restricted in some countries, particularly in places where strict interpretations of certain religions, such as Islam, are followed. Here are a few examples:
Saudi Arabia: Under the influence of Wahhabism, a strict interpretation of Sunni Islam, idol worship is forbidden, and the country strictly prohibits any form of public religious displays that are not Islamic.
Afghanistan: Under the Taliban, and in line with their interpretation of Islamic law, idol worship is banned. This was exemplified by the destruction of the Bamiyan Buddhas in 2001.
Iran: As an Islamic Republic, idol worship is also prohibited under Sharia law, although the country has some tolerance for minority religious practices in private.
Somalia: In line with its application of Sharia law, the country prohibits idol worship.
Maldives: Being a 100% Muslim country by law, the Maldives prohibits any form of idol worship.
Qatar: As a Muslim country that follows Sharia law, idol worship is prohibited.
Hmm. Tell me again, who hates who?
