The Islamic notion of toleration for other religions is very different in Muslim-majority countries than it is in the West, namely that toleration in Islam is seen as an Islamic gift to others and Islam remains in charge whereas in the West toleration is based on the fact that no religion has the high-ground. Proselytization of non-Islamic faiths is prohibited in most Muslim countries whereas Proselytization of non-Christian faiths is permitted in most Western countries. Mosques can be built without issue in most Muslim countries, but existing churches and synagogues cannot even be repaired without executive decrees. Historically, there were special taxes that were only applied to Non-Muslims to remind them of their inferior status.
