What does Christian persecution in Saudi Arabia look like?
Christian persecution in Saudi Arabia is severe. There is little – if any – religious freedom. One example of this is that proclamation is not tolerated and there are no recognized places of worship for persecuted Christians. However, most expatriate Christians experience few religiously-motivated problems provided their fellowships do not disturb neighbors with excessive noise or cause problems with parking.
Some migrants are mistreated by their employers, as are some migrant workers who are Muslims. Saudis who follow Jesus need to be careful about how they related to family, neighbors and colleagues. There is no official recognition of their religious beliefs. Some face severe pressures if their choice is known.
It is rare – but not unknown – for the state to act as a persecutor, illustrated by occasional examples of disciples being detained. The state will, though, grant impunity to families taking severe measures against one of their members for allegiance to Jesus.
