Because Saudi Arabia is the world's most religiously intolerant country I have ever heard of. Even Iran has a better record of religious tolerance . Iran hates Israel, but they got synagogues, especially of Mordechai and Esther in whose honour Purim is celebrated. Even my country’s eternal rival Pakistan boasts of a better record. They are literally a 16th century Wahabi radical fortress living in a 21st century world. Some of their incredibly racist and apartheid laws include: On the other hand, Israel, which is frequently accused by the Arabs of racism and apartheid: P.S: I am comparing Muslims within proper, globally recognized Israeli territory and Israel's policy within the same territory with those practiced by Saudi Arabia. Please, please do not make it a forum for Israeli-Palestinian conflict generation. That is another topic entirely. Apostasy, atheism and blasphemy carry the death by beheading penalty. Non-muslims cannot openly practice their faith. Any temple, church or synagogue constructed is at risk of being demolished and the architects can be sent to jail. Classic example of religious apartheid. Non-Muslims cannot enter Mecca and Medina. This is surely not what Islam teaches mankind. This is a flawed interpretation of religion propagated by the Saudis. Women cannot drive, vote or apply for jobs in public service and government. They also must always be covered from head to toe at all times while roaming in public, and must always be accompanied by a male member. Or else they can be caught by moral police. Malls, shopping complexes and restaurants are gender-segregated. No religion teaches the disrespect of women, and something at this level is just sad. The regime is 100% partial towards Muslims, with no respect for other religions whatsoever. They have committed some of the worst war crimes by indiscriminately blanket-bombing Yemen, that has killed thousands of civilians. Their radical Wahabi ideology is the main reason why India is fighting radicalised terrorism in the Kashmir valley. They raise and indoctrinate people to pursue jihad against “kaafirs”. Many Muslims in India and other moderate countries hate Saudi Arabia for this. They are not even tolerant towards Shia Muslims. There have been various instances of violence and hate crimes against Shias, that puts them at odds with Iran. Saudi Arabia has banned chess, because apparently it teaches you to go against a king, which is not acceptable to them. *Slow Claps*. Chess is such a beautiful game that teaches you strategy and planning, either in business, office, politics or military. Banning this means that there are some common sense issues. Saudi Arabia has banned Pokemon as well. This is because apparently, the stars you get as EXP points resemble the Star of David, the symbol for Zionism. Allows free practice of one's religion, as long as it doesn't infringe upon someone's else's religious practices. Mind you, this is within Israel proper, and I'm not talking about the occupied West Bank. And of course, these rights are for those Muslims who are Israeli citizens. For Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, it is a whole different story, many details of which I do not agree on. The Jew-Muslim rift depends on the place too. Cosmopolitan cities like Tel Aviv and Haifa have Jews and Arabs mingling, working, playing and partying together like everyday citizens. These places boast of a very pan-Jewish-Arab culture. However, I must emphasize that the rift is very wide in religious places like Jerusalem and also in places like Hebron, Jericho and Bethlehem in the occupied West Bank. Has ruled that only Muslims can pray at the Dome of the Rock and al-Aqsa mosque. Any other religion is forbidden to do so, even Jews. This is a pre-negotiated agreement between Israel, the Palestinians and the Jordanians. Has hundreds of mosques within it's sovereign territories, and Muslims are freely allowed to pray. Although it is not compulsory for Muslim Israelis to serve in the IDF, Muslims can serve voluntary and their service and working conditions are at par with Israeli Jews. 2 Likes 1 Share

Do you realise that 17.6% of the Israeli population practice Islam while only 2% practice Christianity? Even majority of the Christian folk are purely Arab. As for Saudi Arabia,the government does not tolerate the open practice of any religion other than Sunni Islam. Shia Islam is not tolerated by the kingdom as well. It is very rare to see a Saudi citizen who is not a Muslim. 2 Likes |

Saudi is an almost 99% Muslim country with full Islamic law. The citizens are almost entirely Muslim and most of the non-Muslims there are usually non-citizens who came for work. Is there an entirely Christian country with a christian law? 3 Likes |

profolaolu: The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is an Islamic theocratic monarchy in which Sunni Islam is the official state religion based on firm Sharia law and non-Muslims are not allowed to hold Saudi citizenship. No law requires all citizens to be Muslim, but non-Muslims and many foreign and Saudi Muslims whose beliefs are deemed not to conform with the government’s interpretation of Islam must practice their religion in private and are vulnerable to discrimination, harassment, detention, and, for noncitizens, deportation. Blasphemy against Sunni Islam is also punishable by death, but the more common penalty is a long prison sentence. Religious freedom is virtually non-existent. The Government does not provide legal recognition or protection for freedom of religion, and it is severely restricted in practice. As a matter of policy, the Government guarantees and protects the right to private worship for all, including non-Muslims who gather in homes for religious practice; however, this right is not always respected in practice and is not defined in law. Sharia applies to all people inside Saudi Arabia, regardless of religion. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_religion_in_Saudi_Arabia Saudi Arabia is not a secular state and does not claim to be one. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Have you ever been there to tell? They only allow you to worship in private homes? Most of these Arab countries just build a spot and ask all Christians to worship there collectively. They have no respect for your religion. They do not care if you are Catholic or Protestant or Anglican or a Jehovah's witness. People living in that region make private arrangements and there is usually high-security alert around those Christian buildings while Mosques are built everywhere. A dangerous and unjust place to be in the world. They have no regard for human rights. And the locals are usually arrogant and proud. bedspread: 1 Like |

profolaolu: Next time,I suggest you research well before coming online to spew ignorant remarks. Fact 1 - Israel has three major religions Judaism, Islam and Christianity. There are mosques in Israel because 17% of Israelis are Muslims. Fact 2 - Saudi Arabia is not a secular state and the Qur'an is one of the pillars of their constitution. There are no churches in Saudi Arabia because the Constitution abhors all forms of religion (including Shia Islam) except for Sunni Islam. You are worse than Jon Snow!!!

profolaolu: I disagree with this. Matt 10:34 Jesus said: "Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword." So all those killed in the old testament were killed by Jesus. This also makes sense as Jesus was said to be part of God who commanded many killings... He only became gentle when he became man. |

This is what the sword verse means. It means people will hate you (Christians for my sake) and will try to persecute you and kill you for no reason other than me. This is exactly what is going on all over the world as Christians are being killed simply for being Christians. Rashduct4luv: |
