Freedom of religion in Qatar

In Qatar, the Constitution, as well as certain laws, officially provide for freedom of association, public assembly, and worship "in accordance with the requirements of public order and morality". Notwithstanding this, the law prohibits proselytizing by non-Muslims and places some restrictions on public worship. Islam is the state religion, and challenging this status is punishable by up to ten years in prison. Apostasy from Islam is punishable by the death penalty (although this has never been put into practice), and blasphemy is punishable by up to seven years in prison.
