yes good question. the goverment in the west is more lenient and want everyone to be happy no matter what colour or religion. countrys such as saudi are islamic countries, so they only follow islam. Having a country based on religion is wrong. God will deal with ppl and countrys that try and single out other religions.
we are all human, and until god comes down and tells us which religion is right,we keep an open mind.

I don't think this question can be answered. Only the Saudi's would know why they are increasing Mosques in the West, and your assumption that it is for some sinsister purpose demonstrates your lack of education to make an informed decision. The world needs less trouble makers, indeed it is negative actions and opinions such as these that promote and breed hate and terrorism. By definiton this would also make you a terrorist since you are promoting hate.

In Islam, to be a Jew or a Christian is being an infidel. A quote from the Qu'ran reads as follows:
"Take not a Jew or a Christian as a friend. Those who deny Allah as God and Muhammad as Prophet, kill them. "
To allow a Christian church or a Jewish synagogue in Saudi Arabia would be an abomination to Islam. To be a Jew or a Christian would also be an abomination, worthy of death, in the eyes of Islam.
Here, Muslims are afforded the freedom to build their mosques and carry on with their "religion" without hinderance, but they certainly would not return the favor.

You can only determine your course of action and not others. It does not matter wether there are more mosques in Britain than there are churches in Saudi, every tribe and people build their society to fit them. Take example from the role of Britain in colonial and post colonial Africa, could the African ask why Britain is prospering while they barely make ends meet?

See, the things is..there is a Hadith that said..that on the land on Hijaz ( where Makka, Al Madina are on ) no other religion but Islam is allowed.. ( as in you can't build any other building or start an org. for any other religion but Islam) but since Hijaz is part of Saudi.. so Saudi managed to generalize that law for not allowing other buildings related to other religions to get built..
But in places like Aramco..( if you know it ) there is a church
and places like Kuwait, Qatar and Egypt churches exist..it's just Saudi that really prohibits it..

It is interesting to note that in the Koran (Excuse my spelling), it says ""Take not a Jew or a Christian as a friend. Those who deny Allah as God and Muhammad as Prophet, kill them. "" (As mentioned above)
BUT.... The "Christians" or the time the Koran was written are different to the "Christians" of today.
After all, Christianity has many different groups now, unlike those of the arly part of the millenium so should that part be thought out now?
Also...
"It's high time the west banned the construction of ALL mosques. We don't want primitive beliefs to be encouraged."
Pardon mer but isn't the bible many hundreds of years older than the Koran and the Jewish Faith even older than that??? How can Islam be "Primiive"?
Personally, I think they are ALL out of date. Things have changed.

Because Saudi Arabia is an Islamic country, while the others are not.

fear of competition probably. They know that their dogma can't stand up to any examination. It's high time the west banned the construction of ALL mosques. We don't want primitive beliefs to be encouraged.

if you westerners were foolish enough to fill your countries with muslims who are nothing but bad people then its your own fault
you westerners should have realised long ago that muslims are not good , tolerant people and will never fit in to the west
muslims are all just a bunch of maniacs
