Washington DC - The Saudi government burns and desecrates hundreds of bibles its security forces confiscate after raids on Christian expatriates worshiping privately or at border crossings.

As a matter of official policy, the government either incinerates or dumps bibles, crosses and other Christian paraphernalia.

Hundreds of Christian worshipers are arrested every year by Saudi police in raids on their private gatherings. Bibles, crosses and printed materials are confiscated and later burnt or dumped into trash.

Bibles and other Christian paraphernalia found with travelers into the country are confiscated and destroyed.

Although considered as holy in Islam and mentioned in the Koran dozens of times, the Bible is banned in Saudi Arabia, and is confiscated and destroyed by government officials.

Recently, there has been a crackdown on symbols of Christianity in Saudi Arabia. On April 21st Saudi authorities raided a make-shift church in Riyadh and arrested 40 Christians. Many Christian religious symbols, such as crucifixes and bibles were later destroyed by Saudi security forces.

I wish we would deport the millions of illegal mexicans in the U.S. .

In our community there are a number of Somali's who have been brought in by the forces of Mordor on the Potomac. Only a few hold jobs of any kind and a goodly number of the males regularly cycle through local jails for a range of offenses from theft to sex crimes. Largely the Latin American illegals here work and through their labors contribute to the economy.

We have a large Somali community in the city where I live.

Most are gainfully employed (taxi drivers, trades) or have opened up businesses (restaurants, grocery stores, down town parking garages). .
