Why you don't need a licence to build a mosque in egypt while you need it to build a Church??


Travel Info
in Egypt if you have the money you can build a mosque without any problems
but if you have the money and want to build a church you will need a license from the Governor of the city himself, and he refuse anyway
and that's what happened lately in upper Egypt when that clashes happened
some Christians decided as long as they can't build a church to do their prayers in a house but that's make the Muslim people of that village angry and they went out to burn the Christians houses and properities
a Muslim told me once in Egypt as an answer about this question that view of the churches and it's crosses offend the feelings of the muslim

Travel Tips
The reason is that Egypt is a Moslem country.

Regardless of the current load of crap being spread about Islam being the "Religion of Peace," Islam is totally intolerant of other religions.

As your friend said, Moslems are offended by the symbols of Christianity. At least, Egypt is not an Islamic Republic, where conversion to Christianity, or any othere religion is a capitol offense.

Recently, and Afghan Christian convert was nearly put to death for the crime of abandoning Islam. If US and Allied Occupation Forces had not intervened, this man who had worked with UN Refugee Aid for years would have been legally murdered.

Because Muslims are taking over and controlling the world. They are already doing so in America. Either fight back or get used to it.
Descendant of a group of people that were slaves to Muslims for 400 years because we refused to give up our Christianity.
yeah i think it's really a dumb thing. Egypt is a theocracy, pretty much meaning the Muslim government has control of everything. in many Muslim dominated places, they are decently fair to the other Christians present. But in Egypt, that's why Christians cannot build places of worship. and prejudices. a lot of Christians are moving to other areas in the middle east and some are forced to pray in silence. this is an upsetting issue because no one here actually even knows that there are Christians in that area of the world so nobody cares to help them. I know a bunch of Iraqi Christians are moving to Syria too.

p.s. to the dude who said Muslims are taking over the world, umm no. they're kind of not.

i'm a Christian but i'm not going to comment on religions in general, we would be open to every religion as Christians and not jusde people because of religion!
ask the jews how they got rid of people in their country and then maybe the copts can start their own coptic state by kicking out all the muslims from their land.

but no seriously (that was in response to the stupid person who said muslims were taking over the world):

to build a mosque you also need a license. Minorities get a bad rap everywhere so you need to check your facts before accusing one people of oppressing the other. Yes, it is more difficult for copts to get a license, but that doesn't mean they can't get it done.
I don't know about Egyptian low about the situation you described, but let me tell this, if you are trying to understand why this happened, then you are right, and i can say nothing abut it. But, if you are trying to say that Muslims are against Christianity, then you are wrong.
No you need a license to build anything ( house/mosque/church )
am Muslim .. my friends built a mosque but the government destroyed it coz they have no license
