Why doesn’t Korea ‘respect’ Muslims?

Translated from X post

French woman: Why doesn’t Korea ‘respect’ Muslims? A French woman visiting Korea complained that “Korea hides pork even in things like mayonnaise, ketchup, and chips,” saying it was awful having to scan everything like someone with paranoia. She even said, “Korea wants our money but doesn’t respect 2 billion Muslims…” pic.twitter.com/GpiNsqosI4

I heard the number of Muslim workers in Korea has grown quite a bit… Lately I’ve been seeing a lot of them here with their families.

Thanks for the comments

Something that could happen in Korea too if there are more Muslims

Even in the Joseon era, it must have gotten pretty bad <It is well documented in the Veritable Records of King Sejong. The Ministry of Rites reported: “The Huihui people dress differently, which makes others feel alienated from them. Now that they have become our people, they should follow our dress customs and eliminate those differences so that intermarriage can happen naturally. The ritual in which the Huihui offer blessings during the grand court audience should also be abolished.” The king approved it. In 1427, an edict banned Muslim religious rituals and clothing.>

If you go to another country, you have to put up with some inconvenience yourself, like, what even? What do you mean they’re ‘hiding’ it? There’s no reason for us to leave it out??? Sure, we should accept differences and not discriminate, but why do we have to respect it?

Did anyone ask them to come? Lmao. Then go somewhere that works for you. It’s just ridiculous to demand respect for your culture while refusing to respect ours.

Do Islamic countries respect Christianity or other religions? Do they respect Korean culture when they come to Korea?
