Indonesia has the biggest churches in the world, as hundreds of billions of dollars are spent each year there by foreign missionaries

As that is the case, why would they insist on praying in an illegal area?

To answer your question, extremists exists in all religions

You don't judge a religion based on the acts of its extremists, but based on its mainstream teachings

Other than making things up as you go along, why would you claim that Indonesia has the biggest Churches in the world? It’s not true, obviously. Make a mental note that the largest Church in the world is the St. Peter’s Basilica, Vatican City, or perhaps the Basilica of the National Shrine of Our Lady of Aparecida, Brazil.

How do you know that hundreds of billions of dollars are spent there by Christian missionaries? Are you just making this up? Even if we concede for a moment that is true, are you threatened by that?

It seems your islamist co-religionists certainly are.

I agree that extremists exist in all religions but where else on the planet do we routinely see the xenophobia displayed by islamists in connection with competing religions? Where else on the planet do we see laws enacted that establish one religion as the “state religion”, thus compelling belief in that religion and establishing state sponsored discrimination of competing religions? If you need a hint, I’ll direct you to any number of nations in the islamist Middle East.

I certainly have the right to judge a religion based upon the behavior of its adherents. To suggest otherwise is making apologies for or denying what the religion teaches. The panic that grips the islamist Middle East regarding competing religions is a product of the teaching of the religion. The xenophobia that grips the islamist world regarding co-existence with other religions is a product of the teaching of the religion.

Why is it that you think that the KSA bans all competing religions? Could it have something to do with the teachings of the politico-religious doctrine?
    

What independent links would you like?

For a start, I’ll direct your attention here:

As you are quite selective in your demands for news sources, I suspect you’re really choosing to ignore a wealth of data in the hope that ignoring islamist intolerance will make it go away.

Why did you ignore my earlier comments regarding state mandated religion in so much of the islamist Middle East?

I’m sure you are aware of the persecution faced by the Christian Copts in Egypt. Or do you believe that is all part of some vast conspiracy?

Of course, I have no way of knowing if your claimed personal experiences are true or not.

There seems to be among islamists an inability to directly answer a specific question when that question reflects negatively on their politico-religious ideology.

Let's try again - do you believe the documented examples of islamist intolerance toward competing religions is a conspiracy?

Actually, when you tell me that muslims have some restrictions In Europe I don’t always answer as you describe… like now. There certainly are (and in a more recent timeframe), some limited restrictions on muslims and the practice of their religion. Are you surprised at that? Do you understand that events in Madrid, London, Russia, etc., have a chilling effect on the people of Europe?

I think you need to take a step back and develop a sense of the world that is not entirely focused through the lens of Islamism. Much of Europe has a more recent history of secularism defined by the principle of separation of Church and State. That principle has allowed much of Europe to establish and maintain rule of law and governance established by term limits for legislators, legislators that are accountable to the voting block; essentially, the positive attributes defining secular democracy. Most of the world (Europe included), has long ago abandoned the anti-human dictates of totalitarian theocracies and religious rule. That’s because most of the planet has learned that theocratic totalitarianism must, by definition, favor the majority religion to the detriment of the minority religion(s). That’s precisely the dynamic we see across the islamist Middle East. Islamism being the state religion and thus forced upon all, serves to create the persecution of the minority religions.

You shouldn’t be surprised at the European hardening of attitudes toward Islamism when your co-religionists make demands for special dispensations and issue threats aimed at the very institutions that have allowed Europe to largely rise above petty tribal rivalries, religious hatreds and narrow minded world views that act as a yolk of oppression that afflicts so much of the islamist world.    

There is a kernel of truth in what you said. Unfortunately your message is lost amongst the inflammatory, hyperbolic and antagonistic tone of your commentary. 

There are hate-filled bigots in every walk of life and many of them succeed at using religion as a tool to fuel the self-righteous indignation of the feeble-minded. These simpletons then run about participating in all manner of mayhem, all the while justifying their behavior with the twisted misrepresentations of those bigots. 

Nothing you have presented says anything about Islam, but says a lot about the fallibility of human beings. That is the kernel of truth you bring. Perhaps you should try building upon that rather than trying to start a fight?
