The majority of its population is Muslim, but there's a certain religious freedom.<\/p>\n<p>'There are a lot of Catholics, Christians, Roman Catholics, Protestants, all other. And his Majesty has given freedom for everybody to practice their religion.\u00e2?\u009d<\/p>\n<p>It's their first time visiting Europe and are delighted with Rome.
