Presumably "Abrahamic religions" so he can hope for Christian support and won't be accused of antisemitism – and it won't be too obvious that he's just pushing for a blasphemy law to protect Islam. Too bad for the Hindus and Sikhs though.
You live in a democracy that believes in free speech. You cannot prevent others from mocking your beliefs, saying flat out they’re nonsense, spoofing them
Those of the Christian faith live with this reality as part of the secular free society in which we live
You should too
