No, but I wouldn't want to live next door to Craig Stephen Hicks either. You are allowed to bring your personal bible into Saudi Arabia. |

Sure looked like one to me. No "attacks" but hardly what I would consider peaceful or safe.
A google search shows this to be at best at the whim of the customs agent who inspects you. At best you are taking a chance. In Saudi Arabia being anything other than muslim is dangerous. You cannot go near Mecca if you are not a muslim, and a muslim who converts away can be put to death. EDIT: Actually, to visit Saudi Arabia at all is hard. You need a visa and the place often does not issue them for tourism. Try to go as a woman without a man! Try and enter after you have visited Israel. Really, you want to keep defending this religion? I haven't even mentioned the elephant in the room. The President is a fink. |

They took their bible with them. They are fine. They returned last year from the same experience. Saudi Arabia is not mainstream Muslim. |

"As bad as he was, at least he didn’t kill a million Iraqis on trumped up charges of non-existent weapons of mass destruction. Nor was he chopping off 50 heads per week and stoning females for adultery as is the case with Saudi Arabia right now. But again, whether he killed protestors or not, or committed war crimes or not, is irrelevant to the power structure. What mattered was that he had locked out Western interests, and instead used his country's oil wealth to provide free or extremely cheap health care, education and housing to a wide swath of Libyans." Libya which was the most progressive country in the mid east, is now a sectarian hellhole. A breeding ground for radical Islamists including ISIS.  And now the same thing is happening in Syria.  More before and after of Syria, http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/jan/26/syria-heritage-in-ruins-before-and-after-pictures.None of these pictures are taken of Saudi Arabia where 15/19 911 hijackers were from. The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury. GW |

Saudi Arabia contains the capital of islam (mecca) and claims to teach the purest form of islam, similar to being very Orthodox in the Jewish faith. "Mainstream" or not it does not matter. Meanwhile, since the last video from London was seemingly not "violent", here is some more video of some nice muslims living side by side by side in both London and the USA. In the no-go zones that supposedly do not exist. The President is a fink. |

Thanks for showing where you stand on no-go zones. I will file it for future use. The President is a fink. |

| rxwine Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 189 Posts: 18769 | You go into any "ghettoized" area of the US and on average not expect good things. What does that have to do with Muslims? You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

| petroglyph Member since: Aug 3, 2014 Threads: 25 Posts: 6227 | Yep, an ugly deal. Hate groups have been around for a long time. A small sampling of 939 listed hate groups in America 2013. Here's 5, just Christian, hate groups in Amrecia. http://thehumanist.com/news/religion/5-dangerous-christian-hate-groups As of the killings in California today, following the PP killings, the uproar from all the pols for gun control/confiscation, I think it is underway to find out how serious all the gun owners that claim "take it from my cold dead hands" really are? I would like to know what meds the shooters were taking, and how many of the dead and wounded were armed. The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury. GW |
