My husband and I lived in Saudi Arabia for FIVE years and I worked with 30 Saudi men during that time. I wasn't EVER subjected to ANY kind of conflict, coercion or rhetoric.

In fact, I went to daily Mass on our little compound, taking 20 minutes off from work every weekday atg 9:00 A.M. (Saturdays-Wednesdays) to go across the street to Mass. Saudi ARAMCO had hired a priest, vicar and reverend for us Christians.

The one who threw a HISSY fit when I did that was my CATHOLIC Indian co-worker. My BOSS, Mohammed (of course), told him: "Harry, God is number one. There is always time for God. CloudMountain (not my name of course) can go to pray whenever she wants." So I did.

I started the habit of daily Mass in Saudi Arabia, thanks to my VERY kind Muslim boss and continue it today. I would have NEVER done so with him.

God works in mysterious ways, even--especially in Saudi Arabia.

That’s nice that they chose to be so cordial. I’d peg your boss as heterodox.

Oil revenue works in not so mysterious ways. :-)
