?? Theres no need for a Hindu temple on the site of the golden temple... Hindus are permitted to worship there anyway.... as Hindus. As far as I know, theres nothing to stop christians or anyone else for entering either.

Of course its a silly idea to build a temple in the Vatican city.

However, the church does send out a message of intolerance, and proselytisation much in the same manner that the mosque does.

Nevertheless. Ideas of justice, democracy, and equality have allowed church and state to be seperated in many chrisitan nations. Thus, temples, synagogues, and whatnot are built in these countries.

In islamic nations, such ideas have not yet taken root.

How??? The Church repeats that it does nto beleive that there is any other way to God but through the Church. However, it also believes that man has the right to choose his path.

Of course, a lot of this depends on your definition of "intolerance" and "proselytisation." Can you supply examples? Recent ones (say in the last two or three generations)?
