To Shakeel: Christians in Saudi?

"Just in Saudi Arabi there are more than million coptic christians. In india, muslim ruled 1000 years but still in minority, they could erase other religion and their followers, if Islam asks so."

Shakeel, I was skimming through your post and came across the above quote and did a double and triple take. I remember reading a hadith where the Prophet asks his followers to ensure that there are no two religions in the Arabian Peninsula.

Just to give my knowledge level a boost can you show me any independent evidence of the copts existence in Saudi Arabia. I would like to congratulate the Saudis on not implementing that order to terrorise other religions in their country.

Wow. If it really is true I have something to throw at Noah even though I know it will bounce right back at me.
