Saudi King Visited Pop in Vatican on tuesday -Does Pop will able to go to Saudi Arabia
In Saudi Arabia it is illegal to bring symbols from religions other than Islam into the country. Bibles and crosses,then how a Pop will able to visit Saudi Arabia ?
Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah has visited the Pope Benedict XVI at Vatican for the first time .Pope warmly greeted the Saudi King & grasping both his hands before heading into 30 minutes of private talks in his library.
Pope Benedict XVI raised concerns about restrictions on Christian worship in Saudi Arabia & at the end of the meeting King Abdullah presented Benedict with a traditional Middle Eastern gift — a golden sword studded with jewels — as well as a gold and silver statue of a palm tree and man riding a camel. The pope admired the statue but merely touched the sword.
But Saudi Arabia is not going to allow religious freedom in the near future & only Muslim religion is allowed in Saudi Arabia .
