Sounds relatively innofensive, freedom of concience and religion (or lack thereof) is an ideal that can extend to most all human beings - one is not born to religion.Universal Declaration of Human Rights
Article 18
Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance.
Fundamentally opposed to a humanistic worldview - in this the only religious freedom is a so-called "reversion" to Islam. Death to apostates in Sharia cannot be changed, Prince Charles was told as much by his interfaith gathering at Clarence House a while back when getting a clarification on the matter. I certainly can't get behind that.Cairo Declaration on Human Rights in Islam
Article 10
Islam is the religion of true unspoiled nature. It is prohibited to exercise any form of pressure on man or to exploit his poverty or ignorance in order to force him to change his religion to another religion or to atheism.

What does nomadic have to do with anything?

I should have used nomadic in a better way. I ment it as how there still following an ancient way and how they need to catch up and re-discover their religon.
