Nonsense. The point is: there is no room in the Vatican to build anything. But in Western countries (as well as many Eastern countries), people are perfectly free to worship (or not) in whatever religion they choose.

This freedom should be recognized by all countries.

It's absurd to use the Vatican as a counter-argument for religious freedom. It's like asking for a church to be built within an existing religious building.

Yeah right!! /sarc

We have no room for conversion.

" But in Western countries (as well as many Eastern countries), people are perfectly free to worship (or not) in whatever religion they choose.

That maybe true for Christians but not so for the other religious groups. Especially those who are not people of the book.

Straw man argument.
In India we have the Babri Masjid (of the Muslims) on the land of Ram Mandir (of the Hindus). Many other mosques on the premises of temples like Kashi and Mathura.
