Why is there greater acceptance of and freedom for Muslims in most non-Islamic countries than the opposite?

Acceptance of and freedom for Muslims in most non-Islamic countries isn't perfect, but it is by a far cry MUCH better generally than is the case for non-Muslims in Islamic countries. Why?

1. Same reason the muslims moved to non muslim countries...
2. Prejudice
3. The level of overall education in a country isn't a perfect indicator, but a pretty good one i think.
4. we have to be nice or we would be called racists adn other countries dont care what people say about them
5. because we are stupid. plain and simple.
6. They are afraid that people will leave Islam. They pass the ultamate judgement on those that do leave. Stoning to death. Owining a Bible is a crime in Saudi Arabia, and if you are caught openly preaching in most other Muslim Countries, you can be put to death. Peacefull isn't it? Peace!
7. Because Muslim countries are ruled by a religion: Islam. Most other countries, at least those we hear about and visit, are democracies, run by the people, not a small collective of religious leaders.
8. Because, they are more lenient than the muslims... And because they also think that they are more intelligent,, more educated, and more christian like to be patient. The muslims won't care what you say anyway.. But that is the truth..anywhere
9. Could it be that garbage talk about "infidels"?
10. I do not think that there is a greater acceptance for Moslims in most non-Islamic countries than the opposite. Au contraire ! The second part of your question : Why is there greater freedom for Muslims in most non-Islamic countries than the opposite? Not only muslims that have less freedom in some islamitic countrys. So you can replace muslims with people. Then your questin becomes Why is there greater freedom for people in most non-Islamic countries than the opposite? This I doubt as well , Your way of posing the question is tendencious you are not asking this because you want to know something, no you are trying to spread your idea that Muslims & islamic countries restrict freedom. Why dont you ask that instead of the mumbo-yumbo you do now ? ( btw how old are you ? )
11. that's a very perceptive question....every where I read Muslims defending their religion they say how it's peaceful.....but evidently that only applies if you agree with them. I mean they are even killing each other over what brand of Islam you belong to. I really have nothing against Muslims, it's just tiresome to see indefensible acts from any group treated so nonchalantly. That is the difficulty of living in a theocracy rather than a democracy. At least in "the great satan" as America is called you don't get killed for disagreeing with the predominant religion.
12. First off, in today's world there is no such thing as a 'Muslim' country as defined in the religious books of Islam. Saudi Arabia is often referred to as a 'Muslim' country but is probably further from it than the USA. Historically, there was a time when Muslim Spain was close to following the guidelines of religious freedom set up in Islamic texts. Very generally, if the ruling party was Islamic, all other religions have freedom to practice their religion and govern their own group. There are many more aspects you can research at the link below. When Spain was re-conquered by Christian groups, many Jews fled to other Muslim majority countries to have the freedom to practice their religion. I agree that the state of the world today is sad. Also, propaganda is being thrown in every direction. I encourage everyone to open their minds and their hearts and educate themselves. There are at least two sides to every story. http://www.islamicity.com/education/understandingislamandmuslims/default.asp?ContentLocation=/Education/UnderstandingIslamAndMuslims&CurrentPageID=22&Top=&Bottom=&Right=&Left=&SideBarWidth=&RightWidth=&LeftWidth=&SideBarLocation=&Style=&CatID=&Destination=/Education/UnderstandingIslamAndMuslims/22.asp
