Why not boycot travel to Saudi Arabia...

[Lost-in-FL]

They were responsible for +3500 American deaths

[devilgrrl]

1. Because Saudi Arabia doesn't allow tourists to begin with

They're a closed nation to the rest of the world.

[eissa]

2. Damn!

There go my vacation plans!

8. ROTFLMAO! Who would want to go there, anyway?

Unless you're a Muslim, that is...

3. Interesting...

Thank you for the information! :blush:

4. What about the millions who go to Mecca every year? n/t

9. When Malcolm X went, he had to have a written letter from some

head-honcho Muslim dude to recommend him. I don't know how Muslims go about their Hajj these days. :shrug:

Nothing against Muslims on pilgrimage, but Saudia Arabia would be just about the last place I'd want to vacation.

12. No kidding. I know an American nurse who worked there in the early 80s.

It boggles my mind. She had to wear the black robe and veil. To drink, they would take holidays to Egypt.

6. Not quite...but close

They do allow tourism. However, there are SEVERAL restrictions, among them, no Jews and no one with a passport stamped from Israel. Most people they allow in the country are their for business or a pilgrimage, though.

10. I seem to recall that a few people go there on the hajj?

:wtf: Arguably not tourism, but hardly a closed nation, either.

5. Why would anyone in their right mind

WANT to go to Saudi Arabia unless they were going on a hajj?

[devilgrrl]

7. I know someone who went there for the Hajh...

and couldn't wait to leave - she can't hate Saudis enough - same goes for most of the muslim world.

11. Are 250 million Americans responsible for the 100K + dead Iraqis?

This is looking like Free Republic.
