Article summary: 

The author compares two examples of building houses of worship. On the one hand, New York municipality gave Muslims the permission to build a new mosque next to Ground Zero despite all the protest against it, thereby enforcing religious freedom.

On the other hand, the governor of Minia refuses to give Copts the permission to build a new bishopric in Maghāghah instead of the old dilapidated one, and they are now having to pray in tents.
