So the Saudi Grand Mufti was recently asked what Islamic law had to say on the subject of Christian Churches in Arabic nations. He declared that according to Muhammed the Arabic peninsular was to only exist under a single religion – which was obviously Islam. Thus certain factions with Kuwait took that to mean that all Christian churches need to be destroyed.

So much for the public face of interfaith peaceful coexistence.
Can you imagine for a moment the outcry (and IMO rightly so, even I as an Atheist would agree) if a western religious leader suggested destroying all Islamic Mosques, or Jewish Temples etc? You just know that certain extremist elements would be calling for the removal, or worse, of this person, and more moderate followers would be strangely silent.
You really have to love a religious double standard.
