Why Does America Support a Fanatical Kingdom of Islamists?

The kingdom in question is Saudi Arabia. Why is America supporting these people? (Or rather thier royal government.) Money, and ill-conceived policies are the most likely answers. Saudi's can come to America and not only do business but express their Islamic religious views. If you want to bring your Bible visiting their country however, or just wear a cross on your necklace - you will get in trouble with their authorities. Yet another example that politics and truth are two categories far removed from each other, as far as upholdig freedom of religion in the international arena by the US is concerned.

A Welcome Message

This site has some links, news, and comments regarding freedom of conscience, freedom of religion and freedom of speech. These are all inter-related. My concern is especially with the violation of Christian freedom to speak about the collapsed morality of this world and its inability to uphold what is right, true, honorable and godly. This is not an evangelistic site per se, I do not discuss the ultimate goal of one's life - to find salvation and relationship with God in Jesus Christ. It is rather a place to get a perspective on the clash of religious views, and civilizational values in today's world. The Bible is clear in its teaching that followers of Christ will be persecuted for his name's sake (Matthew 5, Jonn 15, 1 Timothy 2), and I am not trying to change that. However, it is worthwile pointing it out, so that people who love the truth can find out more about it, and make up their own minds.

A word on "anonymous" web sites: some withhold their names for safety, some for not wanting to be responsible for their postings, others for not wanting attention drawn to their personality and wanting to avoid the vanity of attention. It's up to you to make your call why my profile in this blog is stripped down to the bare minimum.
