Saudis Oppose Religious Connectivity
"Saudis arrest 40 Christians in raid on secret church," Associated Press, 29 April 2005, http://www.suntimes.com/output/news/cst-nws-saudi29.html (from Democratic Underground).
Nothing surprising. Freedom, human rights, and connectivity have no place in the Saudis' despotate of Arabia.
Forty foreign Christians, children included, were arrested for proselytizing when police raided a clandestine church in suburban Riyadh. Convictions could result in harsh prison sentences, followed by deportation.
And we should tolerate this state as an ally why?
Members of other religions generally are allowed to practice their beliefs within private homes but may not seek converts or hold organized religious gatherings.
Way to shrink the Gap. Killing (often literally) connectivity isn't a recipe for success.
The Saudi's aren't friends to Shia Muslims in East Arabia, either.
