Islam is the official religion, and the law requires that all citizens be Muslims."
"The government prohibits the public practice of non-Muslim religions,"
In Saudi Arabia, the commission said, numerous foreign Christian workers have been "detained, arrested, tortured, and subsequently deported.
the Saudi religious police raided the homes of foreign Christian workers and threw them into overcrowded prisons with squalid conditions
...last year, three Ethiopian Christians detained without charge were severely beaten and tormented under the authority of a Saudi prison official in Jeddah..."Being suspended with chains, each of us were flogged 80 times with a flexible metal cable and also severely kicked and beaten with anything that came into their hands," said a letter from the Ethiopians. The Christians were among 14 foreigners arrested after reports of their participation in gatherings that included Saudi converts to Christianity. Saudi law applies the death penalty to citizens who choose to abandon Islam.
In 1997, two Filipino Catholics involved in Bible studies and prayers in a Saudi prison were beheaded by sword. The men had been accused of "forced armed robbery," but defenders claim they were incarcerated on false charges.

Jews at places of worship are systematically being blown up from Turkey to Morocco — along with British consular officials murdered in Istanbul, American diplomats murdered in Jordan, and Western tourists, Christians, and local residents murdered by Muslims in Bali, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan. The new rule is that the more likely you are to help, give to, or worship in the Middle East, the more likely you are to be shot or blown up.

Remember, even apart from all the killing in Israel and Iraq, all of the deadly terrorism since 9/11 — the synagogue in Tunisia, French naval personnel in Pakistan, Americans in Karachi, Yemeni attacks on a French ship, the Bali bombing, the Kenyan attack on Israelis, the several deadly attacks on Russians in both Moscow and Chechnya, the assault on housing compounds in Saudi Arabia, the suicide car bombings in Morocco, the Marriott bombing in Indonesia, the mass murdering in Bombay, and the Turkish killing — has been perpetrated exclusively by Muslim fascists and directed at Westerners, Christians, Hindus, and Jews.
