It should have been called " Little Church in Desert of Saudi Arabia" That would have been brave...there are Churches in Iran, but one in Saudi Arabia, but then that would have made the Arabs up set and CBC does not want to do that...
Actually, Christians are allowed to practise in Iran. In fact, the first Christian church was built by Muslims there!It is Saudi Arabia that does not allow other religions. There have been generations of Armenians who settled there! I have travelled to Iran and they are more tolerant than you think. You have to abide by local laws that can be overly conservative that is the downside of it.
Yah i know... Muslim countries arent that great. I am muslim but you shouldnt believe everything you hear on CNN like in afghanistan there are suicide bombs everyday
I'd visit more liberal Arab nations like Jordan, Lebanon, or the U.A.E. Simply because some of the most fascinating civilizations in world history settled in the Middle East and Anatolia. But I'd stay away from the more theocratic states like the new Iraq, or Saudi Arabia.
@rykera69 He's right... Most Iranians are Persian, not Arab. They don't speak Arabic, they're not Sunni, and they share few cultural similarities with Arab people.
And no, Iran (Persia) has it's own spoken and written language known as Farsi. They have beards and pray towards Mecca but they are not Arabs (Arabic-speaking people).
Actually, There Are So Many Christians Living In Saudi Arabia And Other Arab Countries, They Practice Any Faith They Like. If They Are Not Allowed To Practice Their Religions That's Against The Teachings of Islam...

They'd have to keep a VERY low profile in ANY Muslim country, or be forced to part with their heads!

And what's your primary source of knowledge? Propaganda from Arabian lobbyists who are trying to convince the world they don't live in the dark ages?
