Saudi Arabia Arrests 53 Ethiopian Christians … For Behaving Like Christians

The Saudis are forever trying to cast Islam in a positive light by calling for “interfaith dialogue” between Christians, Jews and Muslims. But all this means to the Islamist mindset is that when they speak, it is everybody else who must listen, or else …

By BosNewsLife – “Dozens of Ethiopian Christians, mostly women, have been detained in Saudi Arabia after attending a worship service in a private home, BosNewsLife learned Wednesday, February 13.

The Christians – 46 women and six men including three church leaders – were arrested last Friday, February 8, said the well-informed Religious Liberty Commission of the World Evangelical Alliance, or ‘WEA-RLC’, which represents evangelical believers worldwide.

It said the three church leaders – two of them women – were produced in an Islamic court in the eastern city of Dammam on charges of converting Muslims to Christianity.

Authorities were expected to release two of the Ethiopian Christians who have residential permits, but the others were due to be deported, Christians said.

‘We call on Saudi authorities to treat all those arrested with dignity, and release them immediately as there is apparently no evidence for any offense against them,’ said Godfrey Yogarajah, WEA-RLC’s executive director.

MORE INCIDENTS

‘Arrest of believers for peacefully gathering for worship goes against the spirit of Saudi Arabia’s promotion of inter-religious dialogue in international fora,’ he added.

This isn’t an isolated incident in the Islamic kingdom. In December 2011, Saudi authorities detained 35 Ethiopian Christians, 29 of them women, for ‘illicit mingling,’ after security forces arrested them raiding a private prayer gathering in the eastern city of Jeddah, Christians said at the time.

Rights activists believe the women were subjected to arbitrary body cavity searches while in custody.” Read more.

    Interfaith dialogue, and or worship, is very dangerous. It starts with the false premiss that each faith is legitimate and possess value. This not kosher; never is the holy to be mixed with the profane.
    “Do you not know that you cannot partake of the table of demons and of the table of God?”
    Islam does not possess even one redeeming quality. This is the problem with the world today. No one wants to call evil by its name for fear of offending someone. Islam is the religion of Satan, and if that offends anyone, then too damn bad! The offended party still only has two options……either they will get over it, or they won’t! Either way, it will only take its followers straight to the pit of hell! It is an act of love to sound the warning!
