Despite efforts to increase foreign tourism, Saudi Arabia continues to ban non-Muslim religious symbols and materials, including Bibles, crucifixes, and items with the Jewish Star of David. Anyone attempting to bring such materials into the country would be confronted by Saudi authorities, consulate officials said.

Saudi Arabian Airlines website explains the prohibition as covering “Items and articles belonging to religions other than Islam.” A consulate official defended the prohibition, saying that all countries have rules determining which objects can and cannot enter the country.

Oh, and don't worry, their human rights abuses? Not worth talking about.

Human rights abuses and the politicians who choose to ignore wherever they see fit is about as hypocritical as it gets. I'm talking about both sides doing this for longer than I've been alive.

Agreed, I think? At least in international circumstances I agree.

I guess this is why I've never made it any further in politics than I have. I have a habit of telling people to get fucked.

Saudi Arabia can go get fucked.

That video clip of Georgy walking away from a press conference hand-in-hand with that Saudi prince is priceless.
