The Catholic Church (and all other formal churches excepting Islam) are losing their hold and congregations in Europe.

They are growing, particularly the evangelical churches, in L. America, Africa, and Asia.

If you had read what was written instead of trying to read between the lines, you might have noted that the argument is about ‘reciprocity’. If Muslims can build mosques in every other country, why can’t Christians (and others) build places of worship in Saudi Arabia?

Care to provide a reasoned answer to that?

Maybe it’s because some of the Saudi leadership recognizes that the current stance is hypocritical in the face of demands that Islam receive more respect in the West.

How about in Saudi? Why can’t people of other religions sit and worship together? Didn’t Mohammed allow this? Do Saudi’s feel threatened by having another religion celebrated within their own country? Is this some kind of “forced conversion” tactic, don’t let people satisfy their religious needs so that they convert to Islam?

People tell me stories of how Mohammed was so tolerant of other religions and Islam is a religion of tolerance and moderation.

Here is an opportunity to prove it is more than talk.
