Anyway about UK, They do let us build Mosques but there have been many churches alotted to Muslims to convert to Mosques because those churches were basically desserted. becase the UK government do not want to provide new land to muslims.
By the way, dont you think there are churches in Saudi Arabia, middle east the history of these churches are older than of those in UK & US and even europe. BTW Christians or Churches are not allien to Islam or Muslims

ALGERIA On April 29, a court in Djilfa, south of Algiers, charged a 33-year-old Muslim convert to Christianity with printing, storing and distributing illegal religious material. According to Compass Direct News, An Algerian Christian detained five days for carrying a Bible and personal Bible study books was handed a 300-Euro (US $460) fine and a one-year suspended prison sentence.
Compass reported this conviction was the latest in numerous detentions and court cases against Algerian Christians. Since January, police and provincial officials have ordered the closure of up to half of the countrys estimated 50 Protestant congregations, Compass Direct said.
The 33-year-old Algerian Christian converted from Islam to Christianity eight years ago. On April 25, he was stopped at a police road block while riding in a shared taxi. Compass Direct added, Officials took the convert into custody upon finding a Bible and several religious study books in his luggage. Police appear to have previous knowledge of the Christians connections. Officers refused to let the convert call friends to let them know of his detention, naming a church member in Tiaret whom they claimed he would contact.

Even though VOM contacts could not confirm the reason for the attack, they reported that Pastor Vic lived among Muslims who wanted him to join Islam, but he refused. Earlier in the week, my wife and I went to their [Pastor Vics] house and talked about the ministry. Their house is surrounded by Muslim houses. I heard before that there were Muslims wanting Pastor Vic to join the Islam faith, but he refused. [At] this time we still dont know those responsible for his death, but some said that Muslims are responsible, a VOM contact said.

Eritrea (MNN) ― In yet another show of force, Eritrea is launching another assault against the church.
Voice of the Martyrs Canada's Bernie Daniel says a sharp rise in harassment began right around Eritrea's Independence Day at the end of May. Since then, "25 Christians were put in prison in the town of Adi-Kuala. And then we heard these unconfirmed reports that some of the key leaders of the evangelical church movement in Eritrea may be accused of treason. That is a serious concern, of course. "
It has been difficult to get confirmation on the future of Full Gospel Church leaders Dr. Kifle Gebremeskel and Haile Naizghi and Pastor Tesfatsion Hagos of the Rema Evangelical Church. They've been imprisoned and isolated since May 2004. The government has already gone after churches and religious groups on "grounds that they allegedly encouraged insurrection and supported networks of deserters".
Eritrean police also arrested 34 evangelical Christians in Keren, according to a recent Compass Direct report. The Christians, members of the Light of Life Church, were meeting in a private home for prayer and fellowship. The women prisoners have since been transferred to the Adi-Abeyto Military Confinement facility outside of Asmara.
