"Embrace Islam or Lose Your Job" - Phillipino Workers Discrimated Against in Saudi Arabia

[Guest]

Think the so-called 'religion of peace' is benign? Think again.

---------------------------
Islamic terrorism comes in many different forms. Christian Filipino workers in Saudi Arabia are complaining that their employers are threatening to fire them if they do not convert to Islam. It's against the law for a Moslem in Saudi Arabia to convert to another religion. The punishment is death, and anyone attempting to convert Moslems is subject to the death penalty. This sort of double standard, and use of coercion, is a big deal in the Philippines, although the government there, and in Saudi Arabia, try to play down this particular problem. There are about 200,000 Filipinos working in Saudi Arabia, and 600,000 throughout the Persian Gulf. The forced conversions are not widespread, yet. But several hundred are believed to have occurred, and the idea is catching on with employers who are conservative Moslems.
---------------------------

Let's see you bleeding-heart apologists defend this one. Go on, you hypocrites, you know you want to, and I'm daring you.

Who thought that?

However, I think having some asshat telling you to convert to a religion is multiple orders of magnitude more benign that say, forcing little girls to stay in a burning building and having a few of them die because they aren't wearing their abayas. (REF)

Saudia Arabia is a seriously fucked up country.

I would expect nothing less from a country whose constitution is the Qur'an.

For crying out loud, get a life dude. If you hate Muslims so much can't you simply get a posting back state side? Boy..

...and this would be the ad hominem calibration standard, weighing in. Thanks for your support.
