| Summary/Abstract |
For decades, outsiders have thought of China as a country where religion and faith play marginal roles. Images of Chinese people overwhelmingly involve economics or politics: massive cities sprouting up, diligent workers laboring in vast factories, nouveaux riches flaunting their wealth [2], farmers toiling in polluted fields, dissidents languishing in prison. The stories about faith in China that do exist tend to involve victims [3], such as Chinese Christians forced to worship underground or groups such as Falun Gong [4] being repressed by the government.

| Summary/Abstract |
In 2011, when Algeria's Religious Affairs Minister Bouabdallah Ghlamallah awarded the contract to build the Grand Mosque of Algiers, the third-largest such structure in the world, it did not go to a homegrown Algerian bidder nor to one based in a fellow Muslim-majority Arab nation like Lebanon, nor even to one in a nearby non-Muslim nation like Spain, with long connections to the Islamic world. The February 2011 contract-signing ceremony officially granted the $1.3 billion mega-project to a farther away and far less likely competitor-a state-owned Chinese enterprise.
