Islam, the American way

The Economist compares how Islam is treated in Europe compared to America. All well in good till you get to the end.

"Christians in the West have long complained about how hard it is for their brethren in Muslim lands to build churches. Fair enough. But they should practise what they preach."


Hang on a second. What is it that is not only stopping Christians from building churches in Muslim lands, but is persecuting all other religions in Muslim lands? Islam. I'm all for tolerance and freedom of religion, but unfortunately Islam is not.

How about this, before Muslims can build mosques in Western countries, they stop persecuting Christians in Muslim lands, Saudi Arabia stops its ban on Bibles and churches, all Muslim countries stop persecuting women and gays, then we can talk.
