SAUDIS LAUNCH CRACKDOWN ON CHRISTIANS

Thanks to Sue C. for sharing the following article:
Saudi Arabia has launched a crackdown on Christian activists amid heightened Islamic unrest in the kingdom. Christian sources in the kingdom said at least 15 Christians from Africa have been arrested in Jedda over the last few months for conducting non-Islamic services in private homes. Three of them are said to have been tortured in prison.

    The Saudi Arabian Royal family are corrupt. Many Muslims despise them. In order to protect themselves from attack they support terrorists so long as the terror is carried out in other countries.

    They have persecuted Christians for centuries...who needs enemies with 'friends' like the Saudi's?

    Makes you think?

    Peace to you Esther:)
