So then, why do countries with Muslim governments have other religions practiced there?

Really?
Please give me the addresses of Christian churches in Syria, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Yemen...

And then explain this:

It is Thanksgiving 1990. Hundreds of thousands of Americans are spending it in Saudi Arabia, invited by its rulers to protect the country -- not against the infidel, but against a fellow Arab Muslim, Saddam Hussein of Iraq. Having raped Kuwait, Iraqi forces were poised to storm Saudi Arabia, a country unable to defend itself.

U.S. President George Herbert Walker Bush arrived to share the Thanksgiving meal with the armed forces whose commander in chief he was. Upon arrival, the Saudi hosts informed him that the sight of a banquet connected in any way, shape or form with Christian traditions, giving thanks to God, was so hateful to Muslims that the president and his lot would have to repair to the high seas, far from the shores that would be soiled, defaced, desecrated by their act and presence.

Take your prozac and take your time. I been waiting years for an explanation.

Yemen is predominantly Muslim, but there are small groups of Christians, Jews, and Hindus.

Syria: Sunni Muslim 74%, Alawite, Druze, and other Muslim sects 16%, Christian (various sects) 10%, Jewish (tiny communities in Damascus, Al Qamishli, and Aleppo)

Saudi Arabia is 100% Muslim.

Pakistan: Muslim 97% (Sunni 77%, Shi'a 20%), Christian, Hindu, and other 3%

Two more countries that you didn't ask for:

USA: Protestant 56%, Roman Catholic 28%, Jewish 2%, other 4%, none 10% (1989)

Israel: Jewish 80.1%, Muslim 14.6% (mostly Sunni Muslim), Christian 2.1%, other 3.2% (1996 est.)

Do you see a pattern here?

Christian countries have a small presence of non-Christian religions, the reverse is true for non-Christian countries.

Do you think that the figures on the US and Israel indicate religious persecution and intolerance as well?

"I been waiting years for an explanation."

What? All this intellect and you have yet to figure out that the Saudis are by and large arrogant, intolerant a$$holes? You can also see that of all the countries you listed, they are the only ones 100% Muslim.

"Take your prozac and take your time."

I see that you are cut from the same cloth.
