Freedom of religion in Saudi Arabia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_religion_in_Saudi_Arabia

Moreover, the preaching and public practice of non-Muslim religions is prohibited.
...
The Saudi Mutaween (Arabic: ), or Committee for the Propagation of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice (i.e., the religious police) enforces the prohibition on the public practice of non-Muslim religions. The Government claims to recognize the right of non-Muslims to worship in private; it does not always respect this right in practice.[2] However, Sharia Law applies to all people inside Saudi Arabia, regardless of religion.
...
slamic practice generally is limited to that of a school of the Sunni branch of Islam as interpreted ...often referred to as "Wahhabi
...
Foreign imams are barred from leading worship during the most heavily attended prayer times and prohibited from delivering sermons during Friday congregational prayers.
...
Saudi Arabia's treatment of religious minorities has also been described by both Saudis and non-Saudis as "apartheid" and "religious apartheid"
...
The Wahhabi sect does not tolerate other religious or ideological beliefs, Muslim or not. Religious symbols by Muslims, Christians, Jewish and other believers are all banned.

Keskustelin tästä eräällä toisella foorumilla ja keskustelu"kumppani" ei pitänyt tätä mitenkään merkittävänä asiana. Ylipäätään hän käsitti minareetin vain arkkitehtuurisena yksityiskohtana, mutta jostain kumman syystä väänsi arkkitehtuurisen yksityiskohdan rasismiksi.

mutta jostain kumman syystä väänsi arkkitehtuurisen yksityiskohdan rasismiksi.

Mielestäni pitäisi enemmänkin puhua fallisesta kuin rasistisesta yksityiskohdasta.
