Christian churches allowed by Saddam -- Not allowed by Saudi Royal Family
You know, left out in the coverage of the Christian churches bombed in Iraq over the weekend is this -- Saddam allowed Christians to worship in Iraq. Most Islamic countries allow Christians to worship, all except ...... our friends the Saudi Royal Family. Big Christian Bush's best buddies will not allow a church in Saudi Arabia. This information should be disseminated in every Republi- er Baptist Chuch in America. This from the AP, March 13, 2003:

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, March 14, 2003 (AP) -- As Islam's birthplace, Saudi Arabia will never allow churches to be built, said Prince Sultan, the defense minister.

"This country was the launch pad for the prophecy and the message and nothing can contradict this, even if we lose our necks," Sultan said in comments reported by Saudi newspapers.

Those who want to establish churches "are, unfortunately, fanatics," Sultan said. "There are no churches - not in the past, the present or future. ... Whoever said this must shut up and be ashamed."

Sultan noted that resident foreigners are allowed to worship privately in their homes.
