Quote\n========\nIslam is the official religion and prevades all aspects of life and the observance of any other religion is not accepted here. Public display of non-Islamic religious articles are not permitted and will get confiscated if found. Non-Muslim religious services are illegal. Travel to Makkah & Madinah, the cities where the two Holy Mosques of Islam are located, is forbidden to non-Muslims. The importation and use of narcotics, alcohol and pork-products is also forbidden. Penalties for importing drugs are severe and include death penalty.\nUnquote\n========\nThis is from the survival section in Jeddah today guide 2006.\n--------------------------------------\nMy opinion is this is the country of Islam, and is an Islamic Monarchy.\nIf some European countries such as Greece, do not want to build a Mosque for the muslims there since the 1970's. Then Saudi Arabia, has the right to do what it sees right.

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (Arabic: المملكة العربية السعودية) is the largest country on the Arabian Peninsula. It borders Jordan on the northwest, Iraq on the north and northeast, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, and the United Arab Emirates on the east, Oman on the southeast, and Yemen on the south, with the Persian Gulf to its northeast and the Red Sea to its west. It is called "the land of the two holy mosques", a reference to Mecca and Medina, Islam's two holiest places.\n\nSaudi Arabia consists mostly of semi-desert and desert with oases. Almost half of the total country is uninhabitable desert with annual precipitation up to 100 millimetres (4 in) in most regions. The western regions are plateau and the east is lowland. The southwest region has mountains as high as 3,000 metres (9,840 ft), and is an area known for the greenest and freshest climate in all of the country. The capital, Riyadh, which is to the center-east has an average temperature in July of 42 °C (108°F) and 14 °C (57 °F) in January. In contrast, Jeddah on the western coast has 31 °C (88 °F) in July and 23 °C (73 °F) in January.

Sau·di A·ra·bi·a (sou'dē ə-rā'bē-ə, sô'dē, sä-ū'dē) \n\nA country occupying most of the Arabian Peninsula. Inhabited since ancient times by nomadic Semitic tribes, the region was consolidated under Muhammed, who established a theocratic state at Medina and gained control of all Arabia by 630. After the caliphate was moved from Medina to Damascus in 661, the peninsula remained fragmented until most of it was united in the 18th century under the Saud family, who adopted the Wahhabi form of Islam. Crushed by Egyptian and Ottoman opposition in the 19th century, Saudi forces reconquered the peninsula in the early 20th century. The unified kingdom of Saudi Arabia was created in 1932 as an absolute monarchy under Wahhabi law. Oil was discovered in 1932 and soon became the mainstay of the economy. Riyadh is the capital and the largest city. Population: 25,700,000 .

because Saudi Arabia doesn't understand that at the time of Muhammad and his companions people were allowed to have churches. go and tell them this. they won't listen to you. it's not the people it's the gov. i am a Muslim and i lived there and it really annoys me how they pretend to follow Islam while they are not following the simplest basics of Islam.

I have problems believing what you are saying is true. Were it true, you'd be awaiting decapitation by the Saudi religious police in that they monitor all email.\n\nYou can start with Amnesty International.\nhttp://www.amnestyusa.org/index.html

Not all of us hate the Saudi people. There's a "backlash" effect from the 9/11 tragedy. It's sadly, the result of ignorance about the Islamic faith. Most don't realize that terrorists are to muslims as the KKK is to christianity.

the king has been ill for years and is not really in charge. btw, don't forget 16 of the 9/11 hijackers were from saudi and also, israel is probably a more important us ally in the middle east.

Not exactly from the modern country of Saudi Arabia. In fact, Jews are not allowed to enter Saudi Arabia, since Jews are seen by the Saudis as being unclean and not worthy of setting foot in the Arab homeland. However around the time of Mohammed there were many Jews living in the Arabian Peninsula. Mohammed was likely angry at the Jews for not accepting his new religion, and he set up laws (Sharia) that relegated Jews as an oppressed minority. Jews who lived in Arab/Muslim lands suffered from oppression until Jewish independence was declared and most Jews from Arab countries were able to move to the State of Israel.

Undoubtedly. The Saudis and Bushes are bosom buddies. Our invasion of Iraq after Saddam's invasion of Kuwait was at the behest of the Saudi family. They feared that Saddam would target them next after Kuwait.\n\nAdditionally, how many of the 9/11 attackers were from Saudi Arabia? And how many were from Iraq? Yet we chose to go after Saddam?\n\nThe U.S. Government has been romancing the Saudis for years with their left hand and stroking the Israelis with the right hand at the same time.  Oops switch those hands - I forgot that the Saudis were arabs - wouldn't want to insult them, you know. They might raise the price of crude to $60./bbl...........................\n\nThey sure are a bunch of princes, aren't they!
