According to reports, Colombian winger Juan Pablo Pino was arrested by the Saudi moral police when fellow shoppers in a Riyadh mall complained about the exposed tattoos on his arms, which include the face of Jesus
No, because we should be tolerant to that degree, at least.
Should Muslim's then also be arrested in non-Sharia countries when they appear in public with their religious garb?

So, how is it that an orthodox Muslim could live in ANY other country that is not governed by Sharia Law?
I just have a difficult time trying to understand the absolute fervance they (Muslims) seem have for (imposing/enforcing) their religion.
Apparently you haven't actually read my posts, or there is a comprehension problem. See this:

You bet that you would get a lot of nasty comments and probably be ask to leave.
I understand that you hate other religion (wonder who's intolerant here...) and think christians are the ultimate peace-loving friendly individuals...which they aren't.
I can understand that he got into trouble, he should've known it. The rules of countries should be accept, if you can't live with them, leave the country. Simple as that.

We would be stooping to their level.

I am glad that you are able to discern that from my posts, it helps me understand where you are coming from.

If so, were you asked to leave?
I can believe that a church might ask a person to leave, if they were disrupting a service through their actions or by disturbing the peace.

Isn't your point that Muslim countries are intolerant?]...Because other countries aren't as intolerant as they are. Isn't that your whole point?

Christians are the same way. They are fervent in their desire to impose their religion on others.
Fortunately, in the US, the Constitution supposedly protects us from a theocracy, but many would like to change that. And religion IS imposing itself into the law of the land. I wouldn't be so all-fired proud about Christianity because by the way things look, religion and politics are melding a little more each election. Before you know it, we're going to have our own little Christian Theocracy, complete with "God's Law" as our foundation...
