Not only this, but a few years ago the Saudis demanded that church services in the US consulate in Jiddah be stopped.

Notwithstanding that the US consulate is, by diplomatic agreement, soveriegn US soil, the State Department agreed,
and stopped the services. (Those wishing to worship then had to attend services at the British consulate.)

That was dhimminitude first class.

What other ally do we have that has no free speech, no freedom of religion, no equal rights for women, no guarantee of an attorney if you are arrested, permits slavery, torture, beheading, honor killings, and child-sex?

What is really bizarre is the fact that there is a Muslim country where the rights of the Christian and Jewish minorities to practice their religion are protected by law - Iran.
