That last guy said it. It is better for a women to be completely covered up. If she is not that then those nice princess who marry their cousins might fell it necessary to rape her. If her father feels he is embarrassed then he kills her. Those nice saudi’s who flew planes into our buildings. And any Jew who says he isn’t a Zionist is liberal who who probably would vote for hitler.

Its ridiculous, when you westerners scrutinize other governments when yours is the worst of all particularly US and UK. UK and US do not ask about religion because 1. they do not care about religion, I mean look at the demographics where homosexuality is allowed, being transvestite is considered super. Yes even though I am a Muslim and do not like Arab countries myself but I with team up with someone who is less the threat then the other. Do you honestly believe US has more freedom? The only freedom US and western countries give you is to explore your sexuality in ways unimaginable. Most depressed part of the world is the West with the exception of the few Zionists who suck on their citizens. Most work related stress are in the western part of the world. After living 10 years in western world, I despise it and wish I had never lived here.

You’re right Keith. Since I’m undergoing cancer treatment I do get asked each time I’m at the hospital even though it seems like whatever one says would become a matter of a patient’s record!

American hospitals also ask religion when being registered. This is typically done before treatment. I have never heard of anyone being denied care based on their religion. None the less, it’s a question that could make some feel uncomfortable given last century’s history.

Disbelief – in fact I have seen some (not a lot) of passports with Jewish as a religion. And these are typical on passport of individuals who do not reside in Israel but elsewhere.

Stating the religion is necessary to distinguish who is and who is not permitted into/inside the bounderies of Makkah and Medina.

American Beduian, have you actually seen a resident’s or visitor’s Saudi visa that states Jewish as the religion? I know a few people of secular Jewish background in the Kingdom and each and everyone of them have Christian on their visa.

The reason Muslim countries ask religion on visa applications is because as a culture Muslim culture is obsessed with religious identity.
