Saudis arrest 40 Christians for praying
RIYADH -- Saudi Arabia has detained 40 Pakistani Christians for holding
prayers at a house in the Muslim kingdom, where practicising any
religion other than Islam is illegal, newspapers said on Saturday.
A group of men, women and children were attending the service in the
capital Riyadh when police raided the house, Al Jazirah newspaper said.
It said authorities also found Christian tapes and books.
Another Saudi daily, Al Yaum, said the raid took place on Friday while
a Pakistani preacher was delivering a sermon. It was not clear what
measures might be taken against the group, but typical sentences for
such offences involve imprisonment for up to 5 years, and public
lashings.
The country derives all its laws from the Koran.

You neglected to point out the fact that the Bush family and the Saud family
are closely intertwined in various business interests. For example, when
GWBush's third oil business went broke (just like his first two, because he
could not find oil in Texas) it was the House of Saud who bailed him out.
Then, of course, there is the business about Bush, Saud, and the Carlyle
Group.

Do you think this muslim regime was open and tolerant
before January 2001? Islamofascism has existed in Saudi
Arabia long before Bush was born, but you won't learn that
from high school dropout Michael Moore.
