NO CHURCHES IN SAUDI ARABIA UNLESS POPE & ALL CHRISTIANS RECOGNIZE MOHAMMED

The below article is a good representation of how muslims view Christianity and believe that it should be and is subservient to Islam. Only if all Christians recognize and accept Mohammed as a prophet; do many Saudi feel that a Christian Church would be allowed to be built there.

In fact these "mediators" don't even acknowledge that there are Christians living in Saudi Arabia - except for a few "transients" and separates the ability to practice ones NON muslim religion from human rights.

So the same arguments used by muslims, throughout the Western world, to facilitate the building of hundreds of Saudi financed mosques and mega-mosques are hypocritically discounted when Christianity/Christians seeks to become accessible and visible in Saudi Arabia.

Saudi Arabia: No churches unless prophet Mohammed recognised, says expert

Riyadh: March 29, 2008. No churches should be permitted in Saudi Arabia, unless Pope Benedict XVI recognised the prophet Mohammed, according to a Middle East expert. While Saudi mediators are working with the Vatican on negotiations to allow places of religious worship, some experts believe it will not occur without this recognition. Anwar Ashiqi, president of the Saudi centre for Middle East strategic studies, endorsed this view in an interview on the site of Arab satellite TV network, al-Arabiya on Thursday. "I haven taken part in several meetings related to Islamic-Christian dialogue and there have been negotiations on this issue," he said. "It would be possible to launch official negotiations to construct a church in Saudi Arabia only after the Pope and all the Christian churches recognise the prophet Mohammed." "If they don`t recognise him as a prophet, how can we have a church in the Saudi kingdom?" Ashiqi`s comments came after a declaration launched by the papal nuncio of the Persian Gulf, the archbishop Mounged El-Hachem, at the opening of the first Catholic church in Qatar last week. The prelate had announced the launch of "treaties to construct a church in Saudi Arabia where it is banned to practise whatever religion they want outside Islam". El-Hachem estimated three to four million Christians in the Saudi kingdom who want to have a church. A member of Saudi Arabia`s Consultative Council, Abdelaziz al-Thinani, rejected the prelate`s claims saying that there were no Christians among the Saudis who were all Muslims. "Those few Christians do not reside in the country permanently, they come and go," he said. He denied there were four million Christians in the kingdom and said the issue of human rights should not be used to call for the construction of a Christian church. Most of Saudi Arabia`s Christians are foreign workers. There are 8.2 million foreign workers in a country of 25.6 million people according to a report by the Saudi Labour Ministry.

Dear Nice Muslims, it's time to leave Islam since you are not an authentic Muslim. Are you a polygamist, a murderer, a liar, a child molester, and a pedophle? Muhammad was all of these things. Since you are not like Muhammad, you should dump that jerk forever. Muhammad was also piggish, a wife beater,and vindictive. Are you that way? If not, then that gives you more reason to dump Muhammad and Islam. Muhammad was also unmerciful, belligerent, incestuous. Did you know that Muhammad married his son's wife? Do you believe in Muhammad's evil philosophy? Would you marry your son's wife? If not, why do you embrace that psychopathic idiot, Muhammad? It's time to dump Islam and Muhammad since you are not an authentic Muslim. Thousands of good Muslims are leaving the religion of hatred, i.e., Islam. Why don't you join them? Friends, I'm talking to the good Muslims, don't be associated with the religion of hatred, violence, death and destruction, that is, Islam. It's time to dump Allah and Muhammad. Think about it and join many good people of different faiths but who have a common goal, to live in peace. So dump Islam, the religion of hatred and war, and join peaceful people. I will not ask Allah to bless you because Allah is the god of hatred, pain, cruelty, death and destruction. However, I will ask the God of Love to bless you. Good luck. Be careful when you leave Islam because evil Muslims will murder you if they find out. Yes, they will murder you because Islam is very evil.

And NO mosques in our contries until the quran and all of islam are stripped from hate, discrimination, violence, etc.

Also there should be a rate of exchange: 1:1 (one church in their contry for each mosque in our contry, one muslim here and one christian there).

[Cletus]

and yet here we are in the west letting those pigs build up hundreds of mosques and do whatever the fuck they want what a bunch of fucking hypocritical dicks god I fucking hate muslims

Muslims of Saudi Arabia have to be exceedingly stupid, and sick in the brain, if they think that the pope and all other civilized people will recognize Mahammad, who was a child molester, a pedophile, a slave owner, a rapist, a wife beater, a sex fiend, a loathsome idiot, mentally deranged, brutal, mentally diseased, abnormal, a narcissist, a whoremonger, a polygamist, incestuous, a liar, satanic, an adulterer, deceptive, and a thief, as a prophet of God. They are truly nut cases if they think that any civilized person would even recoginize Muhammad as a complete human, much less a prophet of God

[Tomahawk]

The only intelligent thing to do is to ban Islam completely in the West. We are not going to civilize those Muslim hordes that are imported as cheap labour, nor are we going to convince Muslim countries to be reasonable.

Islam must be stamped out.

[JANET]

Aaah...? Just how, pray tell, can Christians recognize Mohammed as a "prophet" and STAY Christian? DUUUHHHHHHH

[Safina]

Very good answer by the Saudi Arabia to these fake evangelists and trinity worshipers who culminated the messages of a great Prophet Isah son of Mary.

They follow fake gospels and eat Pig,To them a prophet becomes a son of God overnite.These are blasphemers who would be sent to hellfire after death.

[Rafi]

These piglet trinity christians should never be allowed in the land of Abraham,Ismael,Moses,and Prophet Mohahmmed.Its is Saudi Arabia Moses recieved Torah and these evangelists do not even know that and rush to mount Sinai thinking it to the holy mount.Its here King Solomon prayed for Jews when he visited Kabah before building the first temple and Christians dont even know that.Its here Abraham dwelt with his son Ismael and bulit "Kaaba" AND THEY HAVE NO NEWS ABOUT IT.

Its rather shameful for the christians not to know their History.They even made Jesus to be a God and pray to him daily what a waste of life.

Dear Rafi and Safina,

It is not what goes into a man that makes him unclean but what comes out of him. Either from the stomach or the heart, the problem is that we all lean away from God. If you think that by endless rituals that you or any mortal can please an eternal God then you go for it, boys. Pray away! But you will always fear the Allah that you are bowing towards.

Rafi - love your rewriting of history. You will do well in the NuLabour goverment's education department. Mount Sinai is where the traditional place where God met Israel and delivered the Law - the 10 commandments, that sort of thing. There is no record of Solomon travelling to the south or east of Israel; he prayed for the Jews at the opening of the temple that he built for God. There is no record of Abraham building the Kaaba either.

As for Jesus, He claimed to be God, accepted worship, and claimed to die for the sins - that is, the evil - of men. he did God-like things that proved His divinity and conquered death at the end. These were recorded by eyewitesses; all writings were complete within 70 years of Jesus' death, and copied across the Roman world. The Koran was 'modified' by Uthman who burned all competing copies.

Take your pick.
