Saudi Arabia Arrests Christians for Unlawful Worship

By Douglas V. Gibbs

Dozens of Christians arrested at a prayer meeting in Saudi Arabia are crying out for America's help, but Barack Obama and the democrats have turned their back on Christianity around the world.

28 people were rounded up Friday by hard-line Islamists from the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice in the home of an Indian national in the eastern Saudi city of Khafji, and their current situation is unknown, according to human rights advocates.

"Saudi Arabia is continuing the religious cleansing that has always been its official policy," Nina Shea, director of the Washington-based Hudson Institute’s Center for Religious Freedom, told FoxNews.com. "It is the only nation state in the world with the official policy of banning all churches. This is enforced even though there are over 2 million Christian foreign workers in that country. Those victimized are typically poor, from Asian and African countries with weak governments."

In Friday's crackdown, several Bibles were confiscated, according to reports from the Kingdom.

This while ISIS is beheading Christian children in Iraq, and while Muslims are trying to convince the UN to make any words against the false prophet Muhammad a criminal offense.
