‘CAA explicitly excludes Muslims’: U.S. commission on religious freedom raises concern over notification of rules
While critics have questioned the government over the exclusion of Muslims from CAA, India has strongly defended its move
The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) has voiced concern over the Central Government’s notification of rules to implement the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA), saying no one should be denied citizenship based on religion or belief.
Rules for implementation of the contentious Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019 (CAA) were notified earlier this month, paving the way for granting citizenship to undocumented non-Muslim migrants from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan.
LW: That certainly works for me! Non-Muslims over Muslims.
“The problematic CAA establishes a religious requirement for asylum seekers in India fleeing neighbouring countries,” USCIRF Commissioner Stephen Schneck said in a statement Monday.
Mr. Schneck said that while CAA provides a fast track to citizenship for Hindus, Parsis, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains and Christians, the law explicitly excludes Muslims.
LW: There it is!
While critics have questioned the government over the exclusion of Muslims from the Act, India has strongly defended its move.

No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step…”
