US Concerned About Religious Freedom in Saudi Arabia



And in breaking news, the Administration suddenly discovered that Saudi Arabia has poor religious freedom (now that we don't need them anymore):
The State Department has added Saudi Arabia to its list of Countries of Particular Concern with regard to violations of religious freedom. Vietnam and Eritrea were also added to the list while Iraq, following the ouster of Saddam Hussein, was removed.

To be fair (and just why would we want to do that?!) it had been on the list before, albeit in a lower position. Now they're listing it on equal par with North Korea. But Iraq has been removed from the list since now Christians, Muslims, and Jews are equally in danger of being killed.
