I worshiped openly. All of us Christians/Catholics did.
The Saudis I worked with (30 of them) thought that it was JUST FINE when I went to pray. THEY did so five times a day.
Worship of God was an integral part of their lives and they understood that it was the same for me.
Why does it go so much against your grain to be so harsh to the OTHER and by far larger percentage of the Muslims (the majority of whom are NOT Arabs) who are just regular JoeSchmoes from Kokomo?
There are always evil, wicked people in this world but to condemn an entire nation, faith and culture for what a HANDFUL of evil-doers did?
To me, that seems to lack clear, straight thinking. And THAT is not YOU.
How did you “worship openly” when it’s against the law there? The religious police crack down on worship of any other religion than Islam and they don’t allow priests in.
If you want to make up stories, there are “fan fiction” websites.
