Saudis Deporting Christians

Posted by: admin

So much for the promise of reform, tolerance, and understanding in Saudi Arabia. King Abdullah has proved once again such topics are merely empty rhetoric, and Saudi Arabia intends to stand firmly in the stone-age, proliferating only hate and intolerance towards other religions.

According to this report, more than a dozen Christians presently residing on Saudi soil have been ordered deported for worshipping in their private homes. 

The report from the Washington-based human rights group said 15 Christians will be deported. Sixteen had been arrested April 25 when a dozen Saudi Arabian police officers raided a home during a prayer meeting.

“The first officer to enter the house after breaking down the main gate pointed a pistol at the Christians and ordered them to hand over their resident permits and mobile phones,” the report said. “The other 11 police followed quickly and started searching the entire house. The confiscated an electronic drum set, an offering box with 500 Saudi Riyal in it ($130), 20 Bibles, and a few Christian books.”

The worshippers initially faced accusations of preaching and singing. “They later changed the charge to holding a ‘dance party’ and collecting money to support terrorism.”
