2 BMI airline stewardesses were banned from a flight into Saudi Arabia. One had a copy of the Holy Bible and the other had a necklace with a crucifix. It appears that the kingdom has also banned non-islamic artifacts and pork products. The only religious book allowed is the Qu'ran.
What are your thoughts?

It would seem that the group of people imposing law are threatened by the Holy Bible. Maybe it threatens their power or economic positions. It must be remembered that humans hate the truth (the default setting before the warfare begins within) in any age, and this is why people chose to kill a man that was endowed with the Christ so many years ago.

You guys need to wise up on the Saudis. What rules they enforce among their people and how they personally behave in private and while traveling are two different things. Get on a jet sometime leaving an islamic country and watch for the ladies to line up to use the restroom and remove their hijab the moment the plane is in the air. They can't get into normal dress fast enough.

~~~Bender,,,, Just another glaring example of Religious Hypocrisy exposed for what it is. I've lived in Hawaii and can tell you from personal experience that when Saudi Royalty would visit, their entourage will reserve an entire hotel floor or two, men order gallons of the finest liquor, Cuban cigars, charter jets to fly blonde prostitutes and cocaine from Los Angeles and send empty limousines to the finest restaurants to bring a carload of food to their hotel. Praise Allah 5 times a day?,,, Not in Hawaii.

well lets go the eye for an eye thing if the bible and sexily dressed women are outlawed in Muslim nations then it is only just that every non-muslim nation bans the quran and that stupid hajab /berkka that they make thier women dress in I'm sure we can all imagine the bunch of whinging muslim's now if that were done claiming unfair persecucution etc. Well I say if they act like that to us in their country then we all act exactly the same to them in ours. Maybe it will actualy make them realise how stupid they are

My thoughts are that I wouldn't go to Saudi Arabia without my bible.

Saudi is a muslim country and it is written in their constitution. You could write in your constitution and ban muslim books in your country

Well, it is their country, however, with the world as open to travel as it is today, you would think they would let visitor have their own possessions. Yet, it is interesting they come to North America and want to influence our society with their beliefs.

Not suprising. Muslims are not pro religious freedom; they do not try to hide that fact.

this is the typical filthy prejudice of the Muslims. they fear lest the truth of the Holy Gospel become known to the ignorant Saudis.
My reaction is to ban all mosques, Korans & Islamic symbols from coming into christian counties. With the death penalty for those who dare bring them in.
and I mean it - I hope to see this happen. May God hasten it.!!!
