See what the photo says below:

1. Japan is the only country in the world that does not give citizenship to Muslims.

2. Permanent residency is not given to Muslims.

3. Propagation of Islam is banned in Japan.

4. In the university of Japan, Arabic and other Islamic languages are not taught.

5. Japan is the only country in the world with negligible number of embassies in Islamic countries.

6. One cannot import a Koran published in the Arabic language.

7. Muslims must follow Japanese law and language.

8. The Japanese government is of the opinion that Muslims are fundamentalists, and unable to change their Muslim ways and laws.

9. Muslims cannot even rent a house in Japan.

10. There is no sharia law in Japan.

Thats why you can't hear Nonesense in Japan

Also there are no ISIS, no Shiites, no Sunni, no bokoharam, no Iraqis, Iranian and Arabian fundamentalists etc. CIA would not operate frivolously there.

The results produced by Japan says it all

It's good for them? Little wonder you'll never hear of terrorism in this country
We all know that Islam is one of the problem of the world

They should extend that to Christians too. In fact all groups that claim they receive divine injunctions to commit murder especially the Jews.

I don't know who to pity the liar author of the rubbish or the fools who believe in it?

Japan has full religious freedom based on Article 20 of its Constitution. Upper estimates suggest that 84–96 percent of the Japanese population subscribe to Buddhism or Shinto, including a large number of followers of a syncretism of both religions.[2][179] However, these estimates are based on people affiliated with a temple, rather than the number of true believers. Other studies have suggested that only 30 percent of the population identify themselves as belonging to a religion.[180] According to Edwin Reischauer and Marius Jansen, some 70–80% of the Japanese do not consider themselves believers in any religion.[181]

Nevertheless, the level of participation remains high, especially during festivals and occasions such as the first shrine visit of the New Year. Taoism and Confucianism from China have also influenced Japanese beliefs and customs.[182] Japanese streets are decorated on Tanabata, Obon and Christmas. Fewer than one percent of Japanese are Christian.[183] Other minority religions include Islam, Hinduism, Sikhism, and Judaism, and since the mid-19th century numerous new religious movements have emerged in Japan.[184]

Can Muslims acquire Japanese citizenship/nationality or permanent residence.

YES.

I've seen a lot of misinformation regarding Japanese nationality over the years, and it has generally been getting better over time as non-Japanese get more access to information in languages other than Japanese, Chinese, and Korean.

However, a viral post has been circulating around the net that was recently forwarded to me and thus caught my attention. The post has been used as propaganda by both pro-Islam and anti-Islam sides.

Unfortunately, the point they're arguing about — whether the Japanese government and its laws and its Constitution, restrict immigration on the basis of religion (Islam) — is entirely false. Enumerated below are sample points from the post which are most related to the topics this site covers:
"Japan is the only nation that does not give citizenship to Muslims."
Absolutely false. In fact, there's a contributing author to this web site who was Muslim at the time of application. There is no place anywhere on the written application where one specifies their religion or creed. Nor have I read anywhere about anyone being asked about their religious beliefs in the verbal interviews.

Because there is no place on the written online application for one's religion, the Ministry of Justice can't publish statistics showing the religions (or races) of naturalization candidates; they can only publish sex and former nationality statistics.

However, looking at the nationality statistics, we can find hundreds of examples of people from Islamic states (ex. Indonesia, Iran, and Pakistan) as well as people from nation-states where the official state religion is Islam (ex. Egypt) and greater than 90% of the population is Muslim. Doing a quick web search, I can find Japanese immigration lawyers who specialize in people from Indonesia and brag of a "100% success rate".

Thus, it's very reasonable to conclude from this that while the bulk of those who naturalize are Chinese and Korean, a large percentage of the remaining naturalization candidates are followers of Islam.

The Japanese Constitution states that
第１４条
すべて国民は、法の下に平等であって、人種、信条、性別、社会的身分又は門地により、政治的、経済的又は社会関係において、差別されない。
Article 14:
All of the people are equal under the law and there shall be no discrimination in political, economic or social relations because of race, creed, sex, social status or family origin.
"In Japan permanent residency is not given to Muslims."
This is also easily demonstrably false. If you live in Japan you will probably eventually meet somebody who is Muslim. There are a lot more permanent residents in Japan than there are naturalized citizens.

However, even if you don't, a look at the official immigration statistics for Japan shows a large percentage of legal immigrants, both non-permanent and those with Permanent Residency Status of Residence (永住者資格eijūsha shikaku), come from countries where the vast majority of the citizens are Muslim or the official state religion is Islam.

Studies of Muslims in Japan have shown that about 35% are Indonesian, 15% are from Bangladesh, and 10% are from Pakistan.

from a 2006 study of Muslim residents in Japan
"There is a strong ban on the propagation of Islam in Japan."
Both Japanese and foreigners can tell you that they've probably come foreign as well as Japanese who proselytize across Christian missionaries as well as Mormons and Jehovah’s Witnesses in Japan. Not to mention the endless amount of "new" religions in Japan. They are either stationary on the street or sometimes go door-to-door.

As mentioned previously, freedom of religion and speech is guaranteed. Also, there is a special visa class just for those involved with religion: Religious activities (宗教shūkyō) Examples include : religious people such as monks, bishops, missionaries, etc. (僧侶、司教、宣教師等の宗教家など)

While Islam does not get any more or less breaks regarding zoning laws than any other religion (including native religions of Japan such as 神道Shintō), they are eligible for tax breaks just like any other religion.
"One cannot import Koran published in Arabic language."
This claim is absolute rubbish. You can find versions of the Quran in Arabic in any mosque in Japan. And while you'd probably need to go to a specialty bookstore (for Muslims or religious texts) or order one online, there is no prohibition against importing them into the country or bringing them with your personal belongings when you come to visit or immigrate to Japan. While reading and studying from the Quran is supposed to be done in Arabic, there are over seven interpretations of the Quran in Japanese. This is possible because of at least three Constitutional rights in Japan:

第２０条　信教の自由は、何人に対してもこれを保障する。
Article 20
Freedom of religion is guaranteed to all.
第２１条　集会、結社及び言論、出版その他一切の表現の自由は、これを保障する。
Article 21 Freedom of assembly and association as well as speech, press and all other forms of expression are guaranteed.
第２３条
学問の自由は、これを保障する。
Article 23
Academic freedom is guaranteed.
"Even today visas are not granted to Muslim doctors, engineers or managers sent by foreign companies."
There is no way to tell if one is Muslim or not by looking at a Japanese visa application as there is no place to indicate one's religious beliefs. However, it is a fact that Japan grants visas all the time to people from countries whose: state religion is Muslim, is an Islamic republic, or who the majority of the population identifies as Muslim.

As for being a doctor or engineer: depending on the type of doctor or engineer, laws regulating licensed professionals often certify if one can practice their profession in a certain country. This is the same as most countries.

Being able to speak, read, and write Japanese, as well as passing an examination regarding Japanese laws and regulations concerning one's profession, may be a requirement to obtain employment, and thus a visa. This is no different for Japanese professionals working in other countries.
"There is no personal (Sharia) law in Japan."
This is correct. Even more so than the U.S., separation of Church and State is very clear in the Japanese Constitution and observed strictly by most public institutions. This includes public schools. There are no mentions of any gods or religious symbols on currency, government buildings, or flags. The same Constitutional article that gives religious freedom to everybody also defines the limits:

第２０条
いかなる宗教団体も、国から特権を受け、又は政治上の権力を行使してはならない。②何人も、宗教上の行為、祝典、儀式又は行事に参加することを強制されない。③国及びその機関は、宗教教育その他いかなる宗教的活動もしてはならない。
Article 20
No religious organization shall receive any privileges from the State, nor exercise any political authority. (2) No person shall be compelled to take part in any religious act, celebration, rite or practice. (3) The State and its organs shall refrain from religious education or any religious activity.
"According to data published by Japanese government, it has given temporary residency to only 2 [hundred thousand] Muslims, who need to follow the Japanese Law of the Land. These Muslims should speak Japanese and carry their religious rituals in their homes."
This quote originally wrote "2 lakh". A "lakh" means "one hundred thousand" and is commonly used in Indian, Pakistani and Sri Lankan English. I believe the author got the rounded 200,000 number from Wikipedia, which says there are 185,000 Muslims in Japan.

Assuming the information from Wikipedia is correct, there are two problems with that claim. The first problem is that the original Wikipedia does not make a distinction with its number between foreigners and natural-born Japanese; we don't know how many of those 185,000 are not foreigners.

The second problems is out of the approximately two million foreigners in Japan, the top eight foreign nationalities in Japan, none of which are considered to be predominantly Muslim countries, comprise over 87% of the foreign resident population:

China
Korea
Philippines
Brazil
Vietnam
Peru
United States
Thailand
This means that of the remaining foreign residents split amongst , 69% of the remaining 27 reported countries are most likely Muslim if the 185K number does not include Japanese nationals. That's a high percentage.

Japanese Airports more Muslim friendly by serving halal stuff ,more designated prayer rooms and ablution area.

Can Japan show the West how to live peacefully with Islam?
Muslims here find respite from sectarian divisions and prejudice rife in other regions of the world.

Long ago, in another life, I went to a mosque in San Francisco to attend Friday prayer. More than the calling of Islam, it was a Libyan woman who beckoned me, and for the sake of family blessing, I considered a love conversion.

Enamored and clueless, I checked out the scene — an alabaster agnostic among
