They'll deport you and sometimes execute you if you are caught with a Bible in Saudi Arabia, the HEADQUARTERS of Islam.
Why do Muslims lie and say they respect the Bible and then turn around and ban it?

oops, you got them, let's reduce that to what they really mean:
MUSLIM (to Christian obviously): I believe in the Bible and the prophets
Christian: Really
Muslim: Yeah, but these was corrupted, now I believe in the uncorrupted version of the Bible
Christian: Uncorrupted ? What is that ?
Muslim: The Koran (and the revelation to my man Mohammad)
Christian: Duh ?????

It is you who is the liar. My husband is from Saudi Arabia, and I've also been there myself. You know what you're saying about being killed for trying to bring a bible into Saudi Arabia is a lie, and you can't be deported for bringing a bible into Saudi Arabia, either. If that was true, there wouldn't be Christians and Jews living in Dahran, Jeddah, and other cities, who are able to practice their religion as they choose. Why don't you leave Islamic issues alone, because you know nothing about Islam. You just continue to make yourself look more and more prejudiced and ignorant. I really feel sorry for you that this is how you pass your time. btw, the bible isn't banned in Saudi Arabia, and no Muslim is prohibited from having a bible or reading the bible. I use the bible as a reference book, when it has verses in it that are also in accordance with the Quran. lol! I don't know what to say to you any more. I'm sorry I called you a name in my other answer, because I was angry with your rude questions. I'm not angry with you any more, just extremely concerned that you are hating us for absolutely no reason whatsoever. That isn't what's taught in the bible. You should know this, since you say you are a Christian.

Because they are confused that's what. To avoid confusion read, believe and stick to the Bible. Most of the people read the Bible and then if they do not agree with what is written in the Bible (Some only take what they agree with and the rest they think is stupid) they claim the Book is unrealistic and a fairytale which cannot be relied upon and then they read other books and start comparing notes (it's wrong). Do they believe in the Bible? I doubt they do 100%.

lol. do you know that your questions are actually read by Muslims and people from Saudi Arabia? What do you think they think of you when you speak so ignorantly? executed for carrying a bible into Saudi Arabia??? lol.
Muslims DO NOT beleive in the Bible. Muslims beleive in the Injeel, the revelation that was given to Jesus Christ (p).
Just because YOU claim that the Bible or Live Science or Mad Magazine are the Injeel doesn't make it the Injeel.

Muslims do not believe in the Bible as we know it. They believe in nearly all but that Jesus is the Messiah. That is the reason they cannot read the Bible... it depicts Jesus as the Messiah instead of just the prophet that Mohammad said He was. Many Muslims do respect the Bible as a religious work similar to the Quran. Our beliefs differ in that Jesus is given no more esteem than Mohammad and they, like the Orthodox Jew, await the Messiah still.

I just asked a question about supporting our president and a few people made the point that in Arab countries they don't have any freedoms and the people who criticize our country would probably be executed there.
What the Muslim clerics are afraid of is not the bible itself. Oh I assume you mean the New Testament. What they are afraid of is that if everyday Muslims were exposed to Christinity and missionaries than many Muslims would leave and convert.
After all how can you support a religion that constantly degrades others. In Muslim countries you and your family could be killed by the fanatics all around you if you dare voice a belief in the goodness of others.
In fact in the end terrorism will lose and Muslims will leave the "religion of peace" started by that peaceful pedophile (he had sex with a 6 year old girl Ayesha) Muhammed in droves.
The clerics are like the little boy with his finger in the dike; holding the sea at bay. Soon it will wash over them like a tsunami.

I have also worked with a company in Saudia (from USA) and the person who was dealing for them was a Catholic guy. I asked him about this and he said no such ban is in Saudi Arabia.

Yes we muslims recognize Jesus as a prophet and his original Bible as a holy book given by Allah the only one God.But now the existing Bible is not original because it was changed by dirty hands.In our holy Qur'an,Allah told us that Jesus did not tell to his followers that he was a son of God and he did not instruct his followers to worship him.Jesus told them please pay worship to Allah your God and my God..In Saudi Arabia non muslim including his/her holy book is prohibited to enter the holy or sacred places Mecca,Medina,Mina,Muzdhalifa and Arafah and its surrounding only.Out of these places,non muslim can visit and live peacefully in other cities..I personally know exactly in Jeddah
there are many christians and Jews with their Bible &Taurat and they are not caught and deported..Since Muhammad era,unbe- lievers,christians and Jews can live peacefully together with muslims as long as they do not attack muslims and their Islamic teaching and do not insult Islam. and our beloved prophet Muhammad pbuh.As a proof I have been intoduced to an Arab as.a permanent citizen of Jeddah .His ancestor is a genuine Arab and he is still a loyal christian,because Allah does not show him a right path.

Islam never kill the other religion people .If they live with us there is no problem in that , they have right of all freedoms give along with the freedom to practise their religious faith freely.
I dont believe all that statement indicated in the arab countires.I believeit, its all false.
Im a Muslim and My Prophet Muhammed (peace be upon him) ordered us to take of all the people from the other religion even if they are without relgion to the best way.Islam teachs us to take of all the humanity, even human being ,a women, man,child,elderily people, the poor, the traveller , the unable etc.We should take care of the whole society and humanity.
Islam orders freedom of religion.

I hate dumb questions based on hearsay.. I live and work in SaudiArabia.. have for 15years. I myself am a muslim, but have 100's of Christian friends, neighbors and even relatives.. All have their bibles on hand with them and all attend religious services for themselves here. I have never read or heard of a beheading or ececution or deportation cause of this... I do know that anyone of other faiths are not allowed to practice that faith or go into Mecca, mainly cause that is sacred and Allahs house.. Afterall.. you have to respect a host for their rules.. You dont go to a Christians home (as a visiting muslim, buddist, jew or whateever) and hold your services and preach on their property or build your church, synogue(sp?) in their backyard.. you respect them.. Same goes here in Saudi. but Christians (even other faiths) are allowed to hold services they wish in private. Its just not public since This is an Islamic state and everyone is required to respect the rules of this country.
