I dont understand...

which muslim countries prohibit bringing bible?


Do you consider the whole saudi arabia a mosque?

Saudi Arabia. Bible or any non muslim religious material, signs or icons.

umm is it all over saudi land? or just in two holy cities?

it may be some archaic law on paper to pacify the muttaa crowd, but as far back as mid 80's people had non muslim religious artifacts and texts in their homes.


I' ve seen it happening at riyadh and dahran airport which are away from the 2 holy cities.

We have some non muslim staff in saudi and they say its all smuggled from the bahrain causeway.

Re: I dont understand...

i dont see any muslim canrrying a copy of Quran with him on his way to any american or european country....
and even if someone thinks of doing it, others r quick to advise him lest he may end up in Guantanamo bay....

I am talking of an era before the bahrain causeway.

My parents just brought books for me in their last trip over a couple years ago, they went to UK first gave some books to my brother, and then came over here and gae some to me, then travelled wiothin US and gave boosk to my other siblings.

Not seeing is one thing and being searched for; once you are identified/suspected as non muslim are two different things, don't you think so.

My own example; as I have tattoo on my arm and I used to wear a chain on my neck, the dimwits at dhahran airport thought that I was non muslim, they asked me if I have bible in my bags and asked me to remove chain from my neck to see there is no cross or something on it.

Re: I dont understand...

I guess the point of the question is simply that our image in the world over is negative enough. We really dont need to help it along by having discriminatory laws against non-Muslims.

If we want to portray ourselves as a peaceful people, how about we start in our own homes? In our own countries? Instead of preaching to people, we should first look within our own society.
