| Euros denying visas for Soddy preachers... |
| 2002-08-05 |
| A number of European embassies, including Belgium and Spain, are either delaying or rejecting visas for Saudi preachers intending to visit European countries during summer holidays to preach to the Muslim communities, an Arab daily reported Monday. Don't want the rabble roused, huh? Daily al-Sharq al-Awsat, published from London, quoted sources close to the Saudi dawa delegations that are organized by the Saudi Ministry of Islamic Affairs expressing their regret and disgust over the behaviour of the European embassies in Riyadh. According to the Arab paper, some African embassies in Riyadh also, like the Ugandan embassy, are demanding that Saudi preachers undergo an interview with the ambassador to verify the purpose of their visits. Forty Saudi Ahhh... Europe in the summer time! How I miss it! The cool, deep greens of the Black Forest... Copenhagen on an August evening... wall-to-wall pretty girls on the Costa Brava... the howling mobs of Brussels... |
