Saudi Cracks Down on Christians
 

Saudi Arabia’s notorious religious police, known as the mutawa, swooped in on a private gathering of at least 53 Ethiopian Christians this month, shutting down their private prayer, and arresting the peaceful group of foreign workers for merely practicing their faith, FoxNews.com has learned.


The mixed group of men and women was seized in a private residence in the city of Dammam, the capital of the wealthy oil province in Eastern Arabia, and Saudi authorities charged three Christian leaders with seeking to convert Muslims to Christianity. The latest crackdown on Christianity in the ultra-fundamental Islamic country comes on the heels of a brutal 2011/2012 incarceration and torture of 36 Ethiopian Christians, and drew a sharp rebuke from a U.S. lawmaker.

That is strange since the Saudi's spend billion of $$ building mosques and Islamic schools here in America and around the world.

They take advantage of religious freedom here in America, yet their society is closed off to everyone but Muslims?

This is why I'm so thankful for the separation of church and state in the United States.

Re: Saudi Cracks Down on Christians
 

Jesus warned us that we'd face persecution. Let's pray for fellow believers everywhere.

Re: Saudi Cracks Down on Christians
 

you are right about that. islam is not the church here and they have more rights here than we do.

Re: Saudi Cracks Down on Christians
 

Which is why I think we should ban them allowed here if we are not allowed there. Jmo

Just am aside, I remember when there was unrest in Tehran a few years back & people were protesting against the Government & the troops opened fire killing many of the protestors who were just young people.
As i was watching a grainy cell phone video of a girl who was just shot in the head & I felt the Lord impress upon me that one day, I do not know when, we will see this take place in North America!
BTW, I would dearly like to be wrong, but I do not think that I am.

Re: Saudi Cracks Down on Christians
 

In other words, that is why you don't believe in religious freedom, here in the U.S.? An eye for an eye? Take the low road? :winkgrin

Coming soon to a city near you!

not an eye for an eye, but protecting our lives.:dogpat

If by some odd event happening in the world where this country decided to arrest Muslims, Arabs, and seize their property, and have their rights stripped away, and led off to concentration camps, every man, woman, and child, because of their Islamic beliefs, family affiliation, or Arabic racial background (even if they were Christian, or atheist,) but still were arrested because of an Islamophobia.

What would you do?

I'm asking this because any time the word Muslim comes up nice Christians want to lock and load and burn some crosses on their Arab neighbor's front lawn.

Now, I'm not saying YOU people, because you all are level headed devoted followers of Brother John Birch, and adhere to the teachings of the Bible.

Anyway, if the government outlawed Islam in this country, and started to incarcerate families in your town, village, or city, what would you do? ;)

Re: Saudi Cracks Down on Christians
 

Wellllllll....

I can't quite remember the last time a "christian" blew up a plane or truck bomb in a crowded market.

Re: Saudi Cracks Down on Christians
 

I don't agree with them being sent to concentration camps, but sending Muslims back to their Muslim home countries would be a consideration. Either you come to this country, and agree to abide by the laws, rules, and language that this country has, or stay where you are, in your own country.

And this would go for anyone, not just a specific race or profiled group.

Re: Saudi Cracks Down on Christians
 

If they try to do that to Muslims, they would do it to Christians.

Re: Saudi Cracks Down on Christians
 

Yes, He did. While we pray for them, we must also pray for ourselves, and for what no doubt is our own impending persecution here in America coming sooner than we may think.

Re: Saudi Cracks Down on Christians
 

They don't due to they not having time?

Because they are too busy killing abortion doctors, and blowing up the abortion clinics?

Re: Saudi Cracks Down on Christians
 

Please forgive me, but my question was race, and religious group specific.
If you would go back and read my post again, you will see that it focuses on the same lines that the Nazis focused with profiled groups. Especially the Jews. Instead of pogroms for Jews, we will have forced exiles for American citizens who happen to believe in a certain religion? Are all Muslims blowing up truck bombs? Do all Christians kill abortion doctors? Do all Rastafarians smoke Ganja?

Re: Saudi Cracks Down on Christians
 

OK, never mind that part, then. Take the low road, and shut down religious freedom. Then everything will be wonderful! :lol

Re: Saudi Cracks Down on Christians
 

A lot of Muslims are moderate and American. This IS their nation of origin. BTW why send them away? It's hard enough as it is to evangelize them in that so called country of origin. Leave them here and evangelize them while we still can
