Not believing in God is not an option in Saudi Arabia.
The Middle Eastern country has issued new legislation that labels all atheists as terrorists who are a threat to public order.
Article 1 of the new provisions define terrorism as calling for atheist thought in any form, or calling into question the fundamentals of the Islamic religion on which this country is based.
The kingdom has never been a friendly place for atheists lsam is written into its constitution as the established state religion. But these new laws reflect King Abdullahs desire to clamp down on political dissent before it can become a movement.
A growing number of Saudis have reportedly been traveling to other parts of the Middle East, like Syria, to participate in demonstrations. According to The Independent, theyre coming back to their home country with new ideas about dethroning the monarchya prospect that is unsettling to the 89-year-old Abdullah, who is considered one of the worlds richest royals.
The kings Royal Decree 44 criminalizes participating in hostilities outside the kingdom with a jail term that could last anywhere between three and 20 years, Human Rights Watch reports.

And, uh, Saudi Arabia is supposed to be an ally, right?!?
Unfortunately this is how an ally looks. A Muslim enemy state on the other hand, is this plus much more, pointed at the US and the West. Better the evil you know than the one you don't.Pretty heavy stuff:

Not believing in God is not an option in Saudi Arabia.
The Middle Eastern country has issued new legislation that labels all atheists as terrorists who are a threat to “public order.”
Article 1 of the new provisions define terrorism as “calling for atheist thought in any form, or calling into question the fundamentals of the Islamic religion on which this country is based.”

The HOUSE OF SAUD is client state of the American Empire.
We don't five a fig what they do or think as long as we control their oil.
Saudi Arabia does not tolerate any other religion besides Islam.

dont they have a religion police?
The Arab Spring scared the Shiite out of the House of Saud. They don't want to go to the mattresses in their own palaces. A clampdown seems to them, at least, as a reasonable measure to assure no revolutionary spirit grows on the streets of Medina.
But to call atheists 'terrorists' is a stretch, even for a regime like that. After all, nineteen of the 9/11 hijackers were Saudis. The Saudis don't know what a terrorist looks like.
this just came to mind;
WE are at war with terror, SA puts forth no effort in helping us, BUT if they mark groups in their country as terrorist.
Would they be able to ask and expect military aide from us in killing them off?
You can thank Qaddafi for that. Tunisia turned without widespread violence. Only the egomaniacal dictators go down fighting.The Arab Spring scared the Shiite out of the House of Saud.

The Arab Spring killed itself.
The surrounding countries see what's going on in those places and really don't want that to happen to them
The Arab Spring fell apart and became self destructive because of Obama making all the wrong moves, and saying all the wrong things. Obama came into office with no foreign policy experience and so far he's been a worldwide disaster with one fatal mistake after another. I seriously can't think of a single thing he's done internationally that has been positive.The Arab Spring scared the Shiite out of the House of Saud.

And yet, amazingly, the 34+ year old peace treaty hammered out by then Pres. Jimmy Carter between Menachem Begin and Anwar Sadat still holds. I believe this is the only treaty between Israel and any of it's neighbors that has held this long.
