There is no problem for people setting up a Mosque in the UK, but why is there so much hostility whenever someone wants to build a church in a predominantly Muslim county?

There's actually no problem setting up churches or temples in Muslim countries. Islam also does not forbid that. As long as the people of different faith has no problem getting along with one another, it's safe to build one.
But you must understand that Muslims in many Muslim countries are not very well educated people. They are easily influence by emotion than reasoning. If conflict exist, they are more willing to resort to violent confrontation than peaceful negotiation. So it's not actually safe to have one in Muslim countries.
Wallahu'alam
Peace-

In Rome the last Pope John Paul II let Muslims build one of the biggest Mosques in Europe. On the other hand hardly any Church is build in Islamic Countries.

My parents came from a predominantly Muslim country. Yes, there are churches there only because they have been there for tens if not hundreds of years. Muslims have made a point to build as many as four bigger mosques right next too any one church built. They do not need four mosques in the same area, however as a means of intimidation for those going to that church they build them anyway. I speak the truth thats why may parents moved here.

There are Churches and Synagogues in Muslims countries. Only will find there are none if it is a Muslim country where the seat of government is also a Muslim government........everything ventures around the religion of Islam. The UK is not a government of any one religious faith. So, all are free to build their places of worship.

Well, I'm an atheist, so this is purely objective. The Muslims are vastly persecuted and misrepresentated because of the international terrorism (American 9/11, anyone?), but the Christians seem to be all over the place. So maybe it's the Christians who are up for diversity because they need it, but the Muslims want to keep together so as to not be divided from withinm throughout all the accusations.

because most islam countries will only recognise that islam is the only religion. My husband has worked in many muslim countries and if i a am seen to bow my head, i have been accused of praying to GOD, which they have told me not to do!
it is sickening, as we bow to their every need here in the UK!
most churches in muslim countries were built before these countries became muslim!
Try building a church-or even mention building one-these days in Libya, saudi, iran etc, you will be on the next flight home, believe you me!

I agree with that sentiment, its surely because islam is by nature contrary to propaganda a militant religion, whereas christianity is by nature peaceful. Though there will always be people who take things to the extreme inside or outside of religion.

It is the politics I think. Personally I do not have any problem with churches and actually even like to visit because of its nice architecture.

Well, possibly because Christianity truly is a religion of peace, while Islam only pretends to.

In certain Muslim countries, it is actually illegal to convert to christianity, punishable by imprisonment or DEATH. This is what you get when you let mad old men interpret your holy book and people actually listen to them.
Much like Christian countries 600 years ago I guess.
