“Why should Saudi Arabia allow Christians to worship openly if a supposed paragon of pluralism such as Switzerland requires Muslims to efface their identity?”

Well, DOES Saudi Arabia allow Christians to worship openly?

The article states building a mosque without a minaret is like forcing a church to build without a cross. Maybe the LA Times should visit the center of the muslim world and check out some churches to see if they have crosses - oops, they don’t even allow the building of churches, do they?

Not only doesn't Saudi Arabia not allow the building of churches and synagogues, their leader mohammed massacred or expelled all the Jews and Christians, whose families had lived in Arabia for generations up to the 600s.

It is only 100% Muslim because Islam is a tyrannical political system masquerading as a religion.

Imagine if Hitler had declared that he was only executing the will of his pagan gods (after he had renounced Christianity), and that thus Nazism qualified as a "religion". Would "religious tolerance" demand that we not fight against his efforts to take over the world as Islam demands its adherents do?
