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.

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

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.

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
