Treatment of Minorities (in Saudi Arabia)

There is no freedom of religion in Saudi Arabia. All citizens must be Muslims, and only the Sunni branch of Islam can be practiced publicly. There is institutional discrimination against Shi’a Muslims. Religions other than Islam are tolerated if practiced discreetly; a number of Christians were deported in 2000 because they practiced “apostasy” in too public a manner.

Asian and African workers living in Saudi Arabia report widespread discrimination, and difficulty in the redress of grievances.

Len grASS-O, you mindlessly fault Jews for wanting to live free and safe in the Israeli democracy, but you say nothing about the terrible racism and religious intolerance in the Arab dictatorships.

Is your mind that twisted with antiSemitism that you can't think straight?
