Re: Other religions right to practice their faith?
Jazeera Commonly called Saudi Arabia? thats a very weak explanation. SA came into existence as a nation state only 70 odd years ago, and it has nothing to do with the concept explained. Only place where non-muslims have been prohibited to enter is Mecca and Medina. History tells us that the Prophet and his companions would meet foreign representatives in Medina, meaning masjid e Nabwi was the place of worship and to run government. If that is the case, then non-Muslims werer allowed to enter and stay in this region.
By the way, these arrests were made in Riyadh…not part of Hijaz or Mecca and Medina…More importantly, no where has the Prophet or the Quran says that other religions are NOT allowed…restriciton was for entry to Mecca, only…
