Saudi Arabia's Domestic Crackdown

Submitted by Nancy Reyes, Apr 30, 2007 19:45

You overlooked the "invisible man" in Saudi: The overseas workers who are Christian.
There are 900 000 Philippine OFW in Saudi, probably 90% of them Christian. Many of those from India are also Keralan Christian, as are some Lebanese and Africans. The Catholic church estimates there are a million Catholics in Saudi Arabia, but there is not one church.

But it is not just Christians:don't forget the Shiite minority in the oil areas, who are not allowed their own mosques.

Yet the Saudis fund think tanks such as the one at Georgetown that allows these paid apologists have enough status to get editorials published spouting the Saudi line.
