Saudi Arabia declares destruction of all churches in region
Earlier this month news reports surfaced out of Saudi Arabia that raised the red flag for Christians, reports MNN.
Todd Nettleton, a spokesman for
the Voice of the Martyrs USA, says, “The Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia–the
top Islamic official in the country of Saudi Arabia–has declared that
it is “necessary to destroy all the churches of the region.’” Nettleton
goes on to note that the report hasn’t surfaced anywhere except on the
Council on Foreign Relations Web site, which was then picked up by The
Atlantic.
Ranked second on the Open Doors World
Watch List (a compilation of the 50 countries where persecution of
Christians is the most severe), the news is not really a surprise. There
is no provision for religious freedom in the constitution of this
Islamic kingdom.
Hopefully after he has his feet washed he may change his mind...........
