Christians are included in his list. That speaks well of him. Orban in Hungary lists recognized religions. Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Protestant , and Jewish. He acknowledged Buddhists and Hindus. Bu said nothing about Moslems. Did I understand that correctly?

Considering how many problems India has had with Muslims in the past, can you really blame the guy?
According to the 2011 Hungarian law, 32 churches are recognised. In 2011–2012, the Constitution was changed, and a new “Act CCVI on the Right of Freedom of Conscience and Religion, and on the Legal Status of Churches, Religious Denominations, and Religious Communities” was implemented.
The new act, which replaced that of 1990, re-introduced a two-tiered classification of religious organisations, similar to that of 1890, distinguishing between officially registered “incorporated” churches, a higher status which also entails access to various privileges such as state funding, and “organisations conducting religious activities”, with fewer rights and privileges
“Protestantism” is not recognised as a monolithic entity but individual groups like Lutheran and Calvinist are recognized.
Thirty-two churches have established (previously known as “incorporated”) status. These include the Roman Catholic Church; a range of Protestant denominations; a range of Orthodox Christian groups; other Christian denominations, such as The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Seventh-day Adventists, and the Salvation Army; three Jewish groups (Federation of Hungarian Jewish Communities, Unified Hungarian Jewish Congregation, Hungarian Autonomous Orthodox Jewish Community); and the Hungarian Society for Krishna Consciousness, the sole Hindu group registered as a church. The list also includes Buddhist and Muslim umbrella organizations, each encompassing a few individual groups.
