   Religions and beliefs bring hope and solace to billions of individuals, and they also have an impact on contributing to peace and reconciliation. However, on the other hand, they have been a source of tension and conflicts. The Arab and Islamic world has recently witnessed a state of discontent as a result of the offensive cartoons of the Holy Prophet, may the best prayers and peace be upon him. , and other acts and words offensive to Islam and Muslims, which prompted some to condemn those acts and warn against insulting religions and sacred religious symbols, and to emphasize that freedom of expression should fully respect the religious beliefs of all religions. Every human being has the right to believe in whatever religions and beliefs he wants that his conscience is comfortable with and his soul is at ease with, or not to believe in anything at all. The freedom of religious belief is absolute, meaning that there is no way for any authority over a person regarding what he believes in the depths of his soul and the depths of his conscience. The twentieth century witnessed the adoption of many international agreements containing principles related to the protection of freedom of religious belief and the other rights associated with it, which prompted countries to approve the protection of freedom of religious belief in their constitutions and internal laws.
