Intransigent? The Saudis don’t allow public worship by any religion other than their own. Particularly non-western Christians are subject to having their meetings broken up and the worshippers arrested, the pastors have been sentenced to death (although usually commuted).
Any muslim accepting Christ faces execution if he isn’t simply murdered by his family.
Israel is a free country. Arabs by and large don’t even understand the concept.
The Arabs who live in Israel sure do, especially the ones that have been elected to the Knesset.
