Tough one eh? Let's refine the question...
What happens to the person who is caught in posession of a Bible in Saudi Arabia?
2006-10-09 16:12:21 · update #1
A quick Google search found this...
"Possessing a Bible within Saudi Arabia can result in arrest, deportation and even a death sentence. For example, Sadeq Mallallah, a young Shia Muslim, was beheaded in 1993 for owning a Bible. " --from http://www.truthandgrace.com/muslimintolerance.htm
"In Saudi Arabia people can be arrested and tortured even for possessing a Bible!" -- from http://home.crown.edu/ingolfsland/RC%20on%20the%20War%20in%20Iraq.htm

They discard your bible in the trash can at the customs, as also any crucifixes, religious images, etc. Burn/recycle the koran and save humanity.
Gasakaulo - you are a liar. At the customs of EVERY Saudi Arabian airport, they open your baggage and confiscate every non-muslim religious artifact and TRASH it. So much for your islamic permissiveness.

You see, they can trash our Bible, but we cannot trash the Koran, does that tell you anything?

There's no penalty. Islam does not forbid reading other scriptures..

I'm not too sure, but I think they circumcise you.
