If the Muslims who reside in the West can have places to worship, including Universities why is this not reciprocated?

Also, since the Christians and Jews are ”Nas al Kitab” or People of the Book, it falls under a monotheistic religion. According to Islam, a Muslim male can marry a woman of the Book and she has the right to retain her religion, as long as her children are raised Muslim. This in itself sets a precedence for allowing worship of a religion of their choice of 3.

As for the Pope accepting the Prophet Mohammad as prophet, it may seem impossible, though I envision inter-faith peace and shall remain positive.

I find the concept of not accepting Christians as confidants rather ironic, since Islam permits men to marry women of the 3 faiths and bear children. This also applies to those who are forbidden to marry outside of their nationality, which obviously falls under yet another cultural plane.

I would have to wonder how many Muslims would reside in Italy if the Vatican totally banned places for Muslims to freely worship. I could appreciate this boundary including Vatican City, but not the entire county.
