Islam is the ONLY religion God sent to ALL HIS PROPHETS to teach all their followers.
Do you believe it is right to expel people from their homes simply because of their religion? As a Palestinian, I thought you would be able to see the wrong in displacing people from their homes.
Iam surprised ! you seem to be knowledgable enough to not make such accusations.
Iam sure you mean the lack of not having churches in Saudi Arabia.
this is officialy true but the Saudis have nothing to do with it. the Arabian Penensula is the most special area in the world because it is the cradle of Islam , and it must remain so because the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Expel the Jews and Christians from the Arabian Peninsula.” And according to another version he said: “Expel the mushrikeen (polytheists).”
but there are hundreds of thousands of non-Muslims who work there and have their own worshipping places privately.
if they do not like this why are they there?
besides, hundred of churches in the world are being abanded by Christians, so why Saudia Arabia?
That would make sense as long as they are not using city taxes to build churches either.
I hate to burst your bubbles , but can you tell us the reason behind their decision?
9:32. They (the disbelievers, the Jews and the Christians) want to extinguish Allah's Light (with which Muhammad has been sent - Islamic Monotheism) with their mouths, but Allah will not allow except that His Light should be perfected even though the Kafirun (disbelievers) hate (it). 33. It is He Who has sent His Messenger (Muhammad ) with guidance and the religion of truth (Islam), to make it superior over all religions even though the Mushrikun (polytheists, pagans, idolaters, disbelievers in the Oneness of Allah) hate (it).
So your logic basically boils down to "well our religion said we can kick people out". Nice. I'm sure loads of people want to leave but simply cannot afford it or have nowhere to go. I doubt every Saudi citizen stays in Saudi Arabia of his or her own will.

If Muhammad forbade the building of churches and synagogues in the Arabian Peninsula and called on the Christians and Jews in them to be expelled, he was no better than those who forbid mosques to be built in Moscow.

Christians and other non-Muslims in Saudi Arabia are "allowed" to worship privately, as long as they hide their faith. Yet Saudi Arabia gets offended when France bans the hijab, a symbol of faith for Muslim women, to be worn in public.
Would you support a European country forcing Muslims to practice their faith only in secret, or one that decided to expel all of its Muslims?
People leaving churches is irrelevant to the discussion. People leave Islam too. That does not make expulsions or religious discrimination against either Christians or Muslims being alright.
This is a sample of why Islam is growing
...
It is interesting to note how many Muslims are leaving Islam but can say nothing about it because of fear of death. Many are secretly meeting in home Churches all over the Middle East. With Bibles are secretly shipped into places where none are allowed.
For all you Know the Muslim next to you at Mosque is a Christian inwardly praying the Our Father in his mind while going through the motions of Muslims prayer.
Muslims have left Islam because of dreams of Jesus, visions and revelations of God's word.
And you posted this to demonstrate that the Russians have no respect for freedom of religion?
CAIRO A leading Muslim organization has vigorously condemned Angolas move to ban Islam in its land and prohibit Muslims from worshipping in their mosques, calling on the United Nation to protect the rights of the religious minority to practice their religion freely.
The International Union for Muslim Scholars (IUMS) widely condemns this decision which contradicts with simplest human rights of social security and freedom of religion, the IUMS said in a statement obtained by OnIslam.net on Monday, November 25.
The move contradicts with tolerance and peaceful coexistence, especially in Africa where more than 50% of the population are Muslims, the Union added.
Several African and Angolan newspapers and news agencies have reported that Angola has banned Islam in its country, in a very unprecedented step taken by a country against one of the Abrahamic faiths.
Taking first measures on ground, the Angolan authorities moved to destroy mosques in the country, including a mosque in the urban municipality of Viana, Luanda which was destroyed on last October 17.
Several Angolan officials have also asserted that Muslims were not welcome in Angola and that the government would not legalize the presence of mosques in the country.
Rejecting the intolerant move, the IUMS called on Angola to withdraw its decision, urging moves at the UN, African Union to condemn the unprecedented decision.
The Union urged the Angolan authorities to relinquish this unjust decision, be tolerant with the peaceful Muslim minority and not to confuse Islam and terrorism, the statement said.
The union has urged international bodies to interfere immediately to alleviate the suffering of Angolan Muslims.
The IUMS also calls on the United Nations and its specialized agencies in human rights, freedom of belief and religion, freedom of opinion and the minorities religious and cultural rights to interfere immediately to support Angola Muslim minority and defend its tight to practice its religion, it said.
The Union calls on the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, the African Union and other international and regional organizations concerned with rights, freedoms , world peace and coexistence to intervene urgently with the Angolan government to reverse this unjust decision.
This might be true in some amount but I'm sure there are many Muslims that left Islam because if they're anything like me well....why even trust religion? I sort of just had a moment one day where I simply didn't believe; either the man at the pulpit was lying to me or more likely he honestly believed what he was saying and I did not.
I'm sure there are many, many irreligious (not necessarily Atheists) Muslims hiding in the general population of Islam. Not that you'll ever get an accurate poll, what with the violence against apostates and all.
A real good reason to allow no more mosques:
Premature bomb blast kills 7 Taliban militants - WORLD - Globaltimes.cn
Premature bomb blast kills 7 Taliban militants
The fact there are Taliban militants in Afghanistan justifies banning the world's second largest religion?
And you want to persuade me Christianity is less violent?
Moscow (not the Russian nation) is being discriminatory & not banning anything; this is wrong but pales in comparison to what Christians & other non adherents to the alleged religion of peace undergo in sharia nations. There are also false reports of the religion of peace being banned like in Angola: Angola Denies It Banned Islam, Destroyed Mosques
What any of this has to do with Christianity being violent is beyond me. Although I suppose that some crusade from 600 years ago or more is ranked alongside some jihadist terror bombing from 6 hours ago as equal proof of being violent.
