Death penalty for 'Bible smugglers' into Saudi Arabia

[Delta4Embassy]

Saudi Arabia's New Law Imposes Death Sentence for Bible Smugglers?

"The Saudi Arabian government has reportedly passed a law that imposes the death penalty on people caught smuggling Bibles into the majority-Muslim country.

According to the HeartCry Missionary Society, the Saudi government issued an official statement signifying that capital punishment may now be used on those who smuggle Bibles into the desert nation, where the royal family upholds a strict Wahhabi brand of Sunni Islam.

The society's report added that the death penalty, which usually comes in the form of beheadings, can also be used against people who simply distribute the Bible and all other "publications that have prejudice to any other religious belief other than Islam." This means that anyone handing out any kind of religious literature that is not of Islamic faith can legally be executed."

"Islam is the state religion of Saudi Arabia. Although no law specifically requires Saudi citizens or passport holders to be Muslim, public observance and proselytism of religions other than Islam are forbidden under punishment of death."


Record Beheadings and the Mass Arrest of Christians – Is it ISIS? No it’s Saudi Arabia

"In the past month, a group of radical Islamic extremists based in the Middle East beheaded at least 23 people and enforced a ban on Christianity by arresting a group of people for practicing the faith in a private home.

No, I’m not talking about ISIS. The real culprit is the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, one of the America’s closest global allies."



But simply not letting foreign Muslims into our own country is a bridge too far?

Point is it doesn't take a terrorist group to be intolerant of non-Muslims. Even 'good Muslims' will murder you for not being one of them.

They are hardly alone, now are they?

"The Council of Trent (1545-1564) placed the Bible on its list of prohibited books, and forbade any person to read the Bible without a license from a Roman Catholic bishop or inquisitor. The Council added these words: "That if any one shall dare to read or keep in his possession that book, without such a license, he shall not receive absolution till he has given it up to his ordinary."

Rome's attempt to keep the Bible from men has continued to recent times. Pope Pius VII (1800-1823) denounced the Bible Society and expressed shock at the circulation of the Scriptures. Pius VII said, "It is evidence from experience, that the holy Scriptures, when circulated in the vulgar tongue, have, through the temerity of men, produced more harm than benefit." Pope Leo XII called the Protestant Bible the "Gospel of the Devil" in an encyclical letter of 1824. Pope Gregory XVI (1831-1846) railed "against the publication, distribution, reading, and possession of books of the holy Scriptures translated into the vulgar tongue." Pope Leo XII, in January 1850, condemned the Bible Societies and admitted the fact that the distribution of Scripture has "long been condemned by the holy chair.""

A lot of history on the current Saudi leader. It would be tough to consider them trusted allies at this point.

You can't compare what Christians did in ancient times to what Muslims are doing now. We no longer live in ancient times.

400 years ago isn't ancient times...

Nor is this:

"The Index included a number of authors and intellectuals whose works are widely read today in most leading universities and are now considered as the foundations of science, e.g. Kepler's New Astronomy, his Epitome of Copernican Astronomy, and his World Harmony were quickly placed on the Index after their publication.[70] Other noteworthy intellectual figures on the Index include Jean-Paul Sartre, Montaigne, Voltaire, Denis Diderot, Victor Hugo, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, André Gide, Emanuel Swedenborg, Baruch Spinoza, Immanuel Kant, David Hume, René Descartes, Francis Bacon, Thomas Browne, John Milton, John Locke, Nicolaus Copernicus, Galileo Galilei, Blaise Pascal, and Hugo Grotius. Charles Darwin's works were notably never included.[71]"

Index Librorum Prohibitorum - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (The Index Librorum Prohibitorum (English: List of Prohibited Books) was a list of publications deemed heretical, anti-clerical or lascivious, and therefore [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship']banned by the Catholic Church.[1])[/URL]

Poor ShitsMyHouse, must keep defending barbaric Islamists by attacking Christianity.

 

[theHawk]

Saudi Arabia literally stones people to death for breaking laws. Rabid Sunnis are the most extreme religious zealots in the world. We should break all ties with them.

SA, as well as most other Muslim countries are Sunni. They are the ones supporting ISIS killing Shia Syrians, there is no way they are going to take them in. Turkey takes them in, but only to push them through to dump them into Europe. Turkey is another one we need to dump.

last I checked Saudi Arabia is a good buddy of the right in this country.... and it's also a muslim country.

we have a constitution with a first amendment.

see how that works.

Shi'a were always considered the crazies. but okay.

 

[Arianrhod]

USMB's "Christian martyrs" should consider this fact about our "good friends" the Saudis every time they:

(A) Bitch about Starbucks coffee cups (especially when they don't patronize Starbucks anyway)
(B) Gas up the SUV and recite verses from the "There's No Such Thing As Climate Change" bible

All Muslims are crazy. But Sunnis really take it to another level. Most terror attacks on the US were done by Sunnis. We shouldn't be involved in this Sunni versus Shia war in the ME.

But progressives are hell bent on war and supporting Sunni barbarians.
