Opinion of Saudi Arabia

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

There's a story, which is not even an urban legend, that in order to enter KSA you have to declare your relligion, which was problem to many Communist-era diplomats/trade envoys/scientist in Poland, who had to visit KSA. Because you couldn't write "atheist", they accepted "marxist".

Yes, you do need to declare your religion, mostly to know if you're not Jewish. But other stories about arbitrary arrests and executions of foreigners for reasons like religion and so forth are urban myths.

Well, the same goes for Iran, as there are also urban myths.

As much as I dislike Ayatollah Khomeini, when he came to power he declared that Christian and Jewish (yes, there is Jewish minority in Iran since hundreds of years) shall not be oppressed in any way. The unlucky exception are, of course, Baha'i followers.

I just love to see more and more Vepres intelectual fallacies coming.

This thread has tempted me to clarify a few things on the reality of Saudi Arabia and to remove any stupid misconceptions, myths and theories which float around. 'Cause they sure do exist.

Please, fight our ignorance.

You know he's the guy who actually lived in SA for a decade?
