Catholics in Abu Dhabi get new church

[Sally]

Abu Dhabi is certainly more open minded when it comes to religion. I realize it is only two churches, but it is a start. It's a shame that the Saudis couldn't be the same. I was just reading a piece where the Saudis were praising the Filipinos working in their country; but even though the Filipinos are devout Catholics and number in the thousands and thousands there, there is not one church for them to attend.

Abu Dhabi: A new church for Catholics has been built on the outskirts of the city. St Paul’s Church in Musaffah industrial area is the second Catholic church in Abu Dhabi, after St Joseph’s Cathedral in Al Mushrif.

“We thank the rulers for providing an attractive environment where Christians feel accepted and are able to live their own identity and to practice their religious beliefs.

[Sally]

are you a bot Sally?

Are you actually human? If so, how about you givingg us some news of the Middle East instead of making snide remarks? I think Skye thinks that she is tied up with a gun to her head so that she is forced to read my posts. What would a decent, civilized person say to this article being that she has freedom of religiion in this country?

Bless you Sally!

Bless you Sally!

Thank you, my child. I will hear your confession later on in the confession box. If you tell me you like to make snide remarks because you are bored with life, I will tell you to volunteer with the church ladies.

Freeman, you already have shown us this. The graffiti can be painted over. Meanwhile, where did you go to when I asked you this?

"Now, Freeman, I am surprised by your bringing up such a subject. Have your forgotten that your brave brethren are busy beheading and crucifying Christians? Just whom do you think beheaded that group of Copts recently? Since you are a devout Muslim, I would like to ask you if you believe in what Mohammed said when he stated there is no compulsion in religion. Do you, yourself, have tolerance for those who are not Muslims? Additionally, do you believe all your brethren should have tolerance for the religious beliefs of others and let these others practice their religion in peace, or are you OK with those brethren of yours who are busy murdering people because they are non Muslims or Muslims of a different sect?'
