If you are planning a trip to Saudi Arabia as the summer days wind down, you may want to think twice before taking your Bible with you. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, as it is officially called, reportedly bans foreigners from bringing in Bibles, crucifixes, Stars of David and other religious non-Islamic items.

What would happen if the US banned the Koran? Would there be the same reaction from the world? Saudi Arabia---the land of religious intolerance.
The psalmist says that ur WORD(The Bible) have I hide in my heart!...if the Saudi govt. bans the written Bible they can not ban the hiden one in ur heart.So my suggestion is that let Christians have more Bible inside of them.bcos birds can only be stopped bulding a nest on ones head but cannot be stopped flying on ones head-all the same gospel must be preached SAUDI ARABIA MUST HEAR THE GOSPEL OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST.
