I do want to address one thing that Paul brought up though;
Show me a Christan Church in Saudia Arabia
That's true, only Islamic religious institutions are allowed in Saudi Arabia. Why? Well, Saudi Arabia, while its technically classified as an 'absolute monarchy', can really be considered a dictatorship. The people have no say in how their government is organized, run or governed. There are no political parties or elections. Media is highly censored, and while the people are fairly literate (78% of the population over the age of 15 can read and write), what and how they are taught are all controlled by the government, hence the king. Under the king, non-Islamic religions are not allowed to be practiced or observed. Under the king, unions and trade groups are not allowed. Under the king, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of just about anything is not allowed. Under the king, public theatres and cinemas are not allowed. And so on, and so on..
Given that, do you think the problem there is one of religion, or one of political structure?
