15 churches in 15 countries. Well if the journalist has time and money, he'd probably can find more.

btw - what's your definition of "many"?

If Christian churches were common in those countries it wouldn't take a lot of effort to find them--they would be well known.

"Many" certainly has to be more than one per country.

According to this site, there are over 2,000 mosques in the United States:

well I said - there are many churches in Muslim countries. I didn't know it has to be more than 1 in each country.

cool to know but it doesn't mean anything to me. It's a free country with a non-secular government.

In tiny Charleston, in the Bible Belt deep South, we have a mosque and an Islamic center. In our state capital, Columbia, we have three.

In the upstate of SC:

(Masjid means mosque):

Home : Islamic Society of Clemson

Salafi Masaajid and Da'wah Centers - Islamic Center of Junction City, KS

In other words, we probably have more mosques and Islamic centers in just South Carolina then all the Muslim countries have Christian churches.

Seriously, you thought one per country meant the same as "many?"

The point is, America has not been prohibiting Muslims from building mosques or Islamic centers.

That is NOT what I'm saying.

I'm showing you that Muslims have been free to have mosques and Islamic centers all over the United States.

I was referring to existence of churches in Muslim countries.... not # of church per country. The point is - the poster said "Do you think Muslims in the middle east would want a church on their land?" and I simply answered that there are churches in Muslim countries.

so that means you've got no problem with them building whatever they're building at Ground Zero.

You said "many" which implied there was acceptance of Christian churches in Muslim countries. Apparently, that is not the case.

I didn't say that. I think their decision to build at Ground Zero shows a great lack of sensitivity on their part (to say the least). They might have the legal right to build in that location but that doesn't mean I've got no problem with it.

My disapproval has nothing to do with prohibiting them from having a place to worship. My "problem" with it is the location.

Yeah, Reba, I said/meant the same thing as your last sentence in another thread on this. :ty:

I answered the poster's question that there ARE churches in Muslim countries. And beside - we don't know the actual numbers of churches in Muslim countries so neither of us is right or wrong.

There are many churches in Muslim countries.... including United Arab Emirates, Iran, Pakistan, Libya, Indonesia, etc. Muslim is known to be tolerant to other religions.

So forcing them to meet discreetly in their own homes fits your definition of tolerant then???
 
9-11 was an inside job. Islamophobia is thriving, thank you very much. We are being played like fiddles.
 
You might want to check out the results of a google with the words "number of churches in middle east" that I did on churches in the middle east. I should note here that I have not done a google Muslim countries outside the Middle East.
 
It indicates more than one church in each of the countries in the middle east.

I checked your Google link.

Which result in particular did you refer to that showed how many Christian churches were in each country?

There are lots of results in the list but they weren't all relevant to the number of churches per country.
 
Here's another link concerning middle east religions.

It doesn't indicate how many churches are in the middle east, only how many follow a certain religion.

It doesn't appear to be a really accurate site on the statistics but I would use it as only a ballpark estimate as I'm not certain of the methodologies used with the number of followers in each country in these statistics.
 
How many Christian churces in the city of Riyahd, Saudi Arabia (4.2 million people) versus the number of Mosques in New York City (8.4 million)?
 
There are "many" churches in China too. Now, can anyone just walk the streets and point one out? I doubt it! Same within a muslim country! But here in America there are plenty of people in each place that can point out a muslim worship center.
