Speaking the Truth about Saudi Arabia
(Weekly Standard) Terry Eastland- One of the harder things to do in Washington is to speak the truth about Saudi Arabia. So give the State Department credit for declaring that in the desert kingdom there is no freedom of religion. In Saudi Arabia, "freedom of religion does not exist." Saudi Arabia's official, state-funded religion is Wahhabism, the terrible legacy of the 18th-century Arab militant Muhammad Ibn Abd Al-Wahhab. Discrimination in education and employment - and worse - is the lot of those who fail to adhere to Wahhabism. Religious police keep a vigilant watch.
