Bibles, Crucifixes Not Allowed into Saudi Arabia

Quote:
If you are planning a trip to Saudi Arabia as the summer days wind down, you may want to think twice before taking your Bible with you. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, as it is officially called, reportedly bans foreigners from bringing in Bibles, crucifixes, Stars of David and other religious non-Islamic items.

snip
But you and I don't have any fight in this. I think we would both agree Saudi Arabia has a right to ban churches and keep bibles out... I don't see a problem with that. It is a sign of respect towards Islam.

I would just ask Muslims to show the same respect by not bringing Korans and build mosques in Europe or America showing the same respect towards Christianity as we show towards Islam.

Right?

You are wrong,for some reason you insist we believe you rather than the actual laws of Saudi Arabia.

It is illegal to openly practice Christianity.

I am far from ignorant.

Muslims don't have a problem with any of this it is we Christians who have the problem.

Our big mistake, and I apologize to Muslims everywhere for this, is we believe in the cult of multiculturalism. We stupidly embrace "diversity" which reminds me of this quote from Thomas Sowell:

Quote:
"Can you cite one speck of hard evidence of the benefits of "diversity" that we have heard gushed about for years? Evidence of its harm can be seen — written in blood — from Iraq to India, from Serbia to Sudan, from Fiji to the Philippines. It is scary how easily so many people can be brainwashed by sheer repetition of a word."

— Thomas Sowell
Muslims, go home!

A lot of laws are not enforced in Saudi Arabia today, basically up to 35-40% the laws you hear today are not enforced.

Would a Muslim give his life so a Christian could worship God as he saw fit?

Of course not.

That is the difference between our two cultures.

Sorry if I believe the actual laws and events rather than your assertions...
