US says Saudi improved religious tolerance
By: Mohamed Ali
WASHINGTON: Saudi Arabia will not face
sanctions because it has made efforts to improve religious
tolerance in the kingdom, Washington decided.
Saudi Arabia has no legal protection for freedom of religion.
The public practice of all other religions and sects other
than Wahabiism is illegal.
In 2004, the United States put Saudi Arabia on a watch list,
warning that it could enforce sanctions if the kingdom did not
extend religious freedoms.
It is the first time a country blacklisted under a 1998 law
targeting nations that violate religious rights has not been
punished.
After listing the country in 2004 the US state department
avoided immediate action with a waiver and said it was working
with the Saudis on issues such as deleting insults about Jews
in school textbooks.

"Knowledge is
better than wealth because it protects you while you have to
guard wealth. it decreases if you keep on spending it but the
more you make use of knowledge ,the more it increases . what you
get through wealth disappears as soon as wealth disappears but
what you achieve through knowledge will remain even after you."MORE
