Part 2/10:

Japan’s approach to Islam and Muslim immigration is characterized by rigorous regulations and a clear stance on assimilation. The country has made it exceedingly difficult for Muslims to establish religious institutions, with building mosques nearly impossible and public calls to prayer or street prayers banned outright. Moreover, Japan does not offer special privileges for halal certifications or dietary needs, nor does it facilitate Islamic cultural practices that might clash with societal norms.
