Saudi Arabia to lead U.N. Faith Forum.
This is the same country that doesn't allow women to drive or even wear Western dress, let alone vote.
Saudi Arabia, the oil-rich Islamic kingdom that forbids the public practice of other religious faiths, will preside Wednesday over a two-day U.N. conference on religious tolerance that will draw more than a dozen world leaders, including President Bush, Israeli President Shimon Peres and British Prime Minister Gordon Brown.
Don't bring your Bible or say, "God bless you" in Saudi Arabia. Don't wear a cross. Don't celebrate Christmas. But we're going to waste time and money going to a religious tolerance conference sponsored by one of the main oppressors. This is what the U.N. is good for and why Barack Obama wants us to be more involved with them?
