Tolerance should be mutual

Yes, I agree that "religions have to earn respect". They also have to give respect. It is difficult to argue that we are at that position of mutuality.
For example, we understand, and make it possible, for believers in Islam to build a mosque in Denmark, or the UK, or the USA, or in almost all "Christian" countries. What happens if Christians want to build a church in an Islamic country? There are no Christian churches in Saudi Arabia. I would be interested to read an acceptable justification for such a policy.
I write as an atheist.
