My husband and I lived in Saudi Arabia for five years...in the Eastern Province. My husband worked for ARAMCO. I never saw that kind of treatment to ANYONE but that means nothing.

However, I didn't think the Saudi police had the guts or brains to attack ANYone, let alone TARGET a group. They often have their stripes/rank SAFETY-PINNED to their uniforms. They really are pathetic. They really ARE a bunch of "do-nothing-mystifiers"

Also, the Saudis can't afford to alienate ANY group willing to go work in that hot, miserable, bug infested, nasty-well-water hell-hole.

As for their "miliary," they are worse. When that "captain" in their "air force" actually SHOT someone down, he became an INSTANT national hero. Whodda thunk he even knew how to fly...but he did learn here in the U.S.A.

I don't think we are hearing the truth from the Kingdom. We never heard it before, the whole truth, so why would they SUDDENLY change and say truths now?

What is REALLY sad is that things are SO horrible in Ethiopia that the Ethiopians feel that working in the KSA would be a good thing for them. THAT is sad.

Well, I never lived in Saudi Arabia. But as this kind of behavior towards Christians is endemic to all Islamic societies, it hardly surprises me. As employees of Aramco, my guess is your husband and you were insulted from the “real” Wahhabist nightmare.
