Here's one kick-ass contribution that America gave to Iraq Kill thousands of innocent people for oil Oh snap.
and winner is here http://www.uslaboragainstwar.org/article.php?id=15144 Thats what called democracy in America!! Except Saudi Arab, there are alot of Churchs in other Muslim countries.
Don't worry so much about it Vebtools . Whit a intelligent foreign minister that you have now we might come and pay you a visit as well . You could be a winner to .
I was referring to the context of the person claiming that there are no temples in Saudi because everyone is "afraid of being beheaded". A claim refuted in the news report about some immigrants being deported after a makeshift temple was discovered (hint: they weren't beheaded). Saudi has strict laws about non-Muslim worship, but in other parts of the Muslim world there are temples and churches and synagogues. No one is making a fuss about their existence, except you.
Great post and thread Vebtools. Plus Rep. We just recently had our Muslim Pride parade here in San Francisco. It was AWESOME:
I never said anything of the sort. In fact we have churches, temples and gurdwaras in Malaysia. Malaysia is a predominantly Muslim population with minorities from various religions.
Ya sure. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christianity_in_Saudi_Arabia Of course there will be no offical recordings of it because "as Saudi Arabia forbids religious conversion from Islam (Apostasy) and punishes it by death" just shows you how tolerant Islam is. This is the sweet spot! "Saudi Arabia allows Christians to enter the country as foreign workers for temporary work, but does not allow them to practice their faith openly, because of that Christians generally only worship in secret within private homes[5]. Items and articles belonging to religions other than Islam are prohibited[6]. These include Bibles, crucifixes, statues, carvings, items with religious symbols, and others."

Sigh. Someone here must be illiterate. I already said that there are no native non-Muslims (and by "native" here, I mean Saudi citizens) in Saudi Arabia and I wasn't referring to the immigrant population who came from other countries.
Of course there aren't any native non-Muslims in KSA . They don't even let other religions be practiced in there . Do you think they would let someone be registered as a born Christian in the country of Apostole Kaboom ?
You maybe a little slow, so just for you I'll even bold key points for you to what you seem to have missed. Why create a census for something that's deemed pretty much illegal. Where I live we don't exactily census drug dealers but you can be sure that they are there.
oh god so much of arguments on religions which is purely man made thing and no respect for human which is gods gift(God = Nature). Not your fault friends, this is because of lack in knowledge. Do not argue forget religions and remember of brotherhood.
Yeah its pretty obvious that with the nonsensical replies to solid references and the starting of silly, pointless threads, one can see who is the troll.
In Egypt, Church buildings or renovations must be authorized by the president himself and until this day, there is continuous pressure against building new Churches. We are talking about Egypt here, the land of the Christians and blessed by the lord for his faithful people. Other countries tolerate Christians for political issues and to prevent feud from external Western powers. Its all politics until somebody gets hurt.
That is exactly my point. Take this senario because that is the exact same thing that happened to Egypt. If you allow me to stay in your house with a group of friends for a week and maybe if you were kind enough to let our other group of friends to stay at your place for a long period of time. We decide to bring in another group and so on. Eventually, you are outnumbered and we all decide to put our "own" rules in your house. We are the majority now so it would be fair if we make our own rules and use your utilities without your permission right?. You decide to argue with "us" about our behavior but you can do nothing because we outnumbered you. Now lets face the facts with a wiki article that displays the Muslim invasion of Egypt: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muslim_conquest_of_Egypt Egypt was the land of Coptic Christians, mostly due to the work of st. mark by spreading faithful teaching and Christianity. Now, I ask you this, if Muslims constituted 90% of the population, does that mean the land rightfully belong to them? Of course not.
