The late King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia introduced laws defining atheists as terrorists
The hardline Islamic state’s religious police in charge of monitoring social networks found more than 600 tweets denying the existence of God, ridiculing Koranic verses, accusing all prophets of lies and saying their teaching fuelled hostilities.

The court also fined him around £4,000.

He was sentenced under a controversial law that defines atheism as “terrorism”.

RELATED STORIES
In 2014 the late King Abdullah issued a string of royal decrees aimed at clamping down on all forms of political dissent and protests that could “harm public order”.

Article one of the new provisions defined terrorism as “calling for atheist thought in any form, or calling into question the fundamentals of the Islamic religion on which this country is based”.

Joe Stork, deputy Middle East and North Africa director of Human Rights Watch, said at the time the new measures were introduced: “Saudi authorities have never tolerated criticism of their policies, but these recent laws and regulations turn almost any critical expression or independent association into crimes of terrorism.”

Never. Just showing the mindset of all these migrants. This is normal for them. Which would explain their behaviors and why we should ship every single one back where they came.

You are assuming the entire Muslim world think like Saudis do. Not even Saudi citizens think like the Saudi government does.

Many Saudis are actually fed up with the government. That's why they spend all their vacation time outside of Saudi. Even on the weekends they go to neighboring countries like Qatar and Dubai because fun is outlawed in Saudi.

They practice slavery in Qatar. Pretty sure the fun is outlawed there as well.

This is the Muslims norm and it's why they can't get along with westerners.

Sure seems to be getting more and more difficult for whoever to defend the "moderate Muslims." Harder even to define the idea.

They keep telling us Islam is peaceful and there is only this small percentage that act like rabid dogs or are filled with hate and intolerance. Well if this "silent majority" silently and tacitly does not totally disapprove of these Islamic revolts and sharia ideas against infidels then all of a sudden there are almost no moderate Muslims. And, quite frankly, I think that is the case with almost all male Muslims in the Middle East.

That is because they think that their government is TOO MODERATE, dimwit.

Look at the people the Egyptians elected to run their country a few years ago, and Egypt is more modern and moderate than the Saudi population is by along shot.

Flown London to Riyadh a few times and here's my advice to Westerners on any long flights to the Saudi capital. Plan your liquid intake/potty breaks in advance because if you have to take a leak the last hour before final approach seatbelt time you could be hurtin'. You'll find long lines of predominantly women waiting to get into the lavatories in order scrub off makeup and change from their tight jeans and other Western garb into traditional female Saudi attire. There will be some men too but they're in and out a lot quicker than the women. Lots of phonies who leave their rules, laws, customs, etc. at the border when they travel.

Qatar and Dubai do have poor conditions for migrant workers. Unfortunately the whole of the gulf is pretty much like that.

But it's not the Muslim norm. It's the gulf Arab norm. Arabs in total only make up 20% of the worldwide Muslim population.

What I meant by fun was like Saudi doesn't have simple entertainment places like malls or clubs. So they go to neighboring gulf countries because their government doesn't allow them the pleasure of simple things like going to movies.

The Saudi people are only against the government because it ally's itself militarily with "the Great Satan." The infidel hating preaching is consistent across all mosques in Saudi Arabia, as well as the other Arab nations.
Saying that not all Muslims think like the Saudi's do, is "technically" correct. The Saudi's are "Wahhabi" and thus the strictest form of Sunni Islam, it generates people like Osama bin Laden. However, there isn't a huge difference between the Wahhabi's and your average Sunni. Their beliefs remain the same when it comes to infidels (Atheists, Christians, Jews, Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, et cetera, et cetera).....conquer, subjugate, kill. And, the only reason we see Muslims fighting other Muslims is because the Sunni's (the majority of Muslims), see non-Sunni's as non-Islamic and therefore, infidels.
The U.S. uses Sunnis as fighters that attack Syrians and Iranians. It's arming and training the enemy of secular freedom to fight the enemy of secular freedom.
