The U.S. has given Saudi Arabia a pass during its recent study of worldwide "religious freedom", despite the Saudi state being the premier fundamentalist Muslim regime in the world.

Oil will make the U.S. do some crazy things. While 19 of the 20 Sept. 11th hijackers, Osama Bin Laden and billions in laundered terrorist funds all came from Saudi Arabia, they are seemingly innocent of all wrongdoing in both the GWOT and the oppression and brainwashing of its citizenry.
I realize this isn't a political blog, but for the U.S. to blantantly overlook a regime that persecutes Christians to the extent of punishing them under law is reprehensible and...well, flabbergasting.
Please pray for our brothers and sisters in the Muslim world; what a testament to the truth of Christ at calling of the Holy Spirit that these people face religous, legal and social persecution at a level we can barely fathom every day, yet proclaim His Holy Name with strength and confidence. I pray that we be motivated to do the same!
Hope everyone has an enjoyable weekend!
