Saudi religious police have destroyed a clandestine makeshift Hindu temple in an old district of Riyadh and deported three worshippers found there, a newspaper reported today (March 26, 2005)."They were surprised to find that one room had been converted into a Hindu temple," it said.
A caretaker who was found in the worshipping area ignored the religious police orders to stop performing his religious rituals, the paper added.
He was deported along with two other men who arrived on the scene to worship. [Makeshift Hindu temple razed; worshippers deported]
Question: Doesn't Saudi Arabia make noises about Muslim persecution in India ?
Answer: They do. But who said that they have to provide freedom to minorities in Saudi Arabia. Be happy those guys came back with all their body parts intact.
Question: Shouldn't India raise this issue with Saudi authorities ?
Answer: It might offend them. Also it might put a haddi in our secular kabab.
Question: Narendra Modi was denied a US visa because he was accused of persecuting minorities, so by the same game, shouldn't all Saudi Royals be denied American visa from now ?
