Is anyone surprised?

Saudis said to choose against building a Catholic church

Saudi Arabia: No churches unless prophet Mohammed recognised, says expert

"El-Hachem estimated three to four million Christians in the Saudi kingdom who want to have a church.

A member of Saudi Arabia's Consultative Council, Abdelaziz al-Thinani, rejected the prelate's claims saying that there were no Christians among the Saudis who were all Muslims.

"Those few Christians do not reside in the country permanently, they come and go," he said.

He denied there were four million Christians in the kingdom and said the issue of human rights should not be used to call for the construction of a Christian church."

Because they don't recognize human rights there anyway? I suspect they just don't want more negative publicity...
