We don't want to know what kind of country Saudi Arabia is. We don't weant to know, for isnatnce, that it is helping to sustain the Sunni Arab rebellion in Iraq, because it (1) hates Kurds and (2) loathes Shiites, and cannot stand the fact that Iraq is likely to be dominated by a coalition of the two.
What happened to islam being such a wonderful religion? The word CULT comes to my mind.
This is extremely unacceptable. Why do we continue to treat this country as an ally and why do we continue to avert our eyes from the religious bigotry and persecution it practices?

Dear Freepers in Christ,
Greetings. I am perhaps the only Orthodox Indian Catholic of Portuguese Descent originally from Goa, India on this Forum. I am not from Kerala, India but I believe that Freeper pravknight has made a mistake in his first comment on this Thread.
Freeper pravknight has stated in his first comment on this thread. "Pressure needs to be put on Saudi Arabia to free this Indian Catholic priest whose only crime was celebrating Mass for Catholics in India".
The fact is that this Catholic Priest was arrested for celebrating Holy Mass in Saudi Arabia for Indian Catholics and not in India. I guess that this was a "typo".
It should have read as follows: whose only crime was celebrating Mass for Indian Catholic in Saudi Arabia.
Why is it that as an Orthodox Catholic Indian from the Latin Rite Church-- I am not surprised at all.
What I am shocked and appalled about is that no Country from Western Europe seems remotely concerned when a Catholic Priest or pastor is arrested, harassed, or killed by Islamists in any Moslem Country or whenever a Christian or Christian Pastor is arrested or persecuted in Saudi Arabia or for that matter in any Moslem Country.
Finally, what I am most shocked about is the rapid spread of Islam in a number of Countries in Western Europe which have given a number of Saints to the Catholic Church like France, Germany, Belgium, Holland, Ireland, and even Italy.
Virtually nothing is being done in a number of countries in Western Europe to counter the spread of Radical Islam which is spreading like nobody's business in every Major Town and City in Western Europe.
In a number of cities and towns specially in Germany, The Muezzins and Imams have been competing with Catholic Churches and Catholic Priests for souls and this is happening in Europe. I have received credible information to this effect.
When will Western Europe wake up and realize this threat and take it seriously ?
OUR LADY OF LEPANTO, SAVE EUROPE.
KING JOHN SOBIESKI OF POLAND, WE BEG YOU TO SEND HELP TO RESCUE WESTERN CHRISTENDOM AS YOU ONCE RESCUED IT IN 1683 AT THE GATES OF VIENNA WHEN YOU DESTROYED A HUGE TURKISH ARMY THAT OUTNUMBERED YOUR ARMY.
YOU DEFEATED THE TURKS ONLY ARMED WITH TOTAL TRUST IN THE ROSARY AND IN OUR LADY.
BLESSED DON JUAN OF AUSTRIA, SEND ALL HELP AS IS NECESSARY TO DEFEAT THESE DEMONIC INFIDELS WHO ONCE AGAIN THREATEN WESTERN EUROPE AS WELL AS WESTERN CHRISTENDOM AS THEY DID IN THE MIDDLE AGES.
P.s.- Short Message to the following Freepers.
Freepers pravknight,Ad Orientam, RobbyS, TBP -- can I add you all to my Ping List for Threads that I will be posting with the past Homilies of Father Robert Altier from Minneapolis.
I have already posted 2 threads over the last 2 weeks with the Homilies preached by Father Altier from 2001-2005.
Let me say this once and for all "Islam is an evil and demonic religion" -- actually it is a violent cult rather than a Religion. Let us make no mistake about this fact about this Evil Cult which only seeks the destruction of Christianity and Western Civilization.
All I have to say is wake up ! wake up! wake up! Europe -- already it is too late.
I absolutely agree. We msut pressure them any way we can. Start by stopping aid to them and see what we can do next.
Unfortunately, the alternative is likely to be even worse. It happened in China, Cuba, Iran, Nicaragua, and other countries when we pulled the rug out from less-than-democratic governments, and it could well happen to Saudi Arabia and Pakistan if we do the same to them.
So what do we do to pressure the House of Saud on this?
Catholic ping!
I need the link please, so I can send it out. I can't find the story.
Islam is a paranoid death cult. They gain converts by force and keep them with the threat of death.
Yes, this is terrible. From your posts and those of Soldierofjesuschrist, I see that the Saudis are up to their old tricks again. Every so often they seem to relax their enforcement a bit, but it doesn't last long. But leaving aside enforcement, why we are buddies with a country that even has these laws on the books, I don't know.
The ROP (Religion of Peace) is also the ROT (Religion of Tolerance), I see. How about treating the Muslims over here as Muslims treat Christians over there? This is nuts.
