Saudi Arabia says only mosques allowed....

Could you imagine the uproar if Israel said only synagogues allowed???
Saudi Arabian official says mosques can be the only places of worship in his country, rejecting pressure to change heavy restrictions on religious besides Islam.

Saudi Arabia, home to Islam's holiest sites, implements a strict version of Islamic law.

It told a United Nations meeting that the kingdom allows other religions in private.

But the vice president of the Saudi human rights commission said Friday that establishing houses of worship for non-Islamic religions was too sensitive an issue.

Zaid Al-Hussain tells the U.N. Human Rights Council in Geneva that there could be no debate. Other countries have urged Saudi Arabia to abolish laws that breach basic human rights such as freedom from discrimination on the basis of religion or belief.

Well, would it be all right to open up a Jewish temple in the state of the Vatican?

Oh yea, nobody but a Catholic can be a citizen of the Vatican...

That is a phony comparison. Non-Catholics can practice and worship openly in the Vatican. Non-Muslims cannot do so in Saudi Arabia.
