I want to know if one can build non-Muslim places of worship in Muslim countries. According to Juan Cole:

"Among the nearly 60 Muslim-majority states in the world, only one, Saudi Arabia, forbids the building of churches."

He goes on to mention that Saudi Arabia's neighbor Qatar bans church steeples and bells but not churches -- similar to Switzerland's new law.
