Maybe the best thing to to would be to invade Saoudi-Arabia, lots of oil, low population, much easier to control than iraq or iran where towns we never heard of, contain hundreds of thousands of people.

For a country that preaches one of the fastest growing 'versions' of Islam, they sure are tolerant. I wonder what would be said if Europe or the United States was to throw Muslims in jail for mission work or just meeting and worshiping?
Originally posted by NygdanThey'd be considered intolerant dicatorial theocratic regimes, just like Saudi Arabia is considered. Their actions are clearly intolerable, and their state support of Wahhabiism is unacceptable too. Hell, the Saudis have made it illegal to be publically be a Shi'ite in their country. Only sunniism is legal in that country.

Two planes were given special permission to leave the country, one supposedly containing members of the Saudi Royal Family, the other allegedly members of the Bin Laden family, urged to get out as quickly as possible to prevent George Dubya from having to answer any awkward questions.

Well I'm sure this is going to be as popular as Ketchup flavored ice cream but look at the numbers. 8,000,000 foriegn workers, seems like a VERY small portion that are targeted. Maybe those that were arrested were for other reasons than just being Christians. I mean, it's not like Muslims are just detained here because their religion, right?

Just imagine if the Moslems were avid prosteletyzers... if we saw missions by Moslems that went to the poor with religious tracts to convert and popularize. Imagine if we had Moslems coming door-to-door. Imagine if we were waylaid in our workplaces by people wanting to talk to us about Allah and wanting us to convert.

Are you kidding? Muslims are as hardcore at proselytizing as any religion on the planet. They've been hard at work in America's prisons and in the communities of "oppressed" Americans for generations. Have you ever heard of the "Nation of Islam" and its laid-back, way cool, highly tolerant leader Louis Farrakhan?You need to get out of the suburbs or off campus a little more often.
