Smh,

So Muslim Saudi now accepts a Christian calendar.

Wonderful.

These are people most sunni Muslims imitate, a country Muslims regard as their holy land, but you begin to wonder where some get all these their extremist ideologies especially those in northern Nigeria.
I think Muslims deserve to know the real origin of Islam, not all these tales we hear.
Can our Muslim brothers be more Holy than the Saudies? We took everything to the extreme here. It unfortunate

They are tired already.
Saudi Arabia may soon drop the ideas of their clothing system and adopt that of USA so as to minimise cost of getting clothes by their citizens.
Also, they may start to grant non-muslims special permission to perform "hajj excercise in Mecca and Medina" as part of their moves for 21st century globalization programmes.
When will they drop the name of Islamic republic
(kingdom of Saudi Arabia) and become United States of Arabia? Nonsense.
Economic, financial and scientific realities will reset all these useless religion fallacies all over the world with time.
Nigerian securities should be on alert because some backward illiterates from north may be insinuating that it was America that forced "the Georgian calender" on Saudi Arabia as part of America moves to turn the Saudi Arabia to a christian state, which may result into violet protests.
I concur

MrPresident1:
If I show you, you go understand am? Lol.

Rili, do not make excuses for them, keep your mind free and objective. Saudi is the top Islamic nation on earth, the country that is the top voice in Islam has adopted a wholly 'christian' calender due to 'economic austerity'.

Who is in charge of all the wealth in the world, is it not Almighty Allah? Rili, Almighty Allah owns all the wealth, He gives the earth and all its riches to whoever He pleases. If Almighty Allah caused the austerity, is the right thing to do, not to beg him for mercy by doing good deeds and drawing nearer to Him? But no, instead of that, we adopt an 'ungodly' and 'worldly' calender which in itself is more sin in the Eyes of Almighty Allah, and which will cause more punishment.

There is more than meet the eye in this, it only takes objectivity to see it
Urhm! I think you have a point.

But still yet, it's not like they abandon the lunar calendar in every other way of their lives rather only for the purpose payment of salaries for their workers.

Thats not recession bro.. These are cost cutting measures to prevent recession. Recession is negative growth, while this is just a cautious move.

YerYer:
The kingdom has come to terms with the cold reality that they are no longer the undisputed leader of the oil cartel and the harsh fact that OPEC can no longer manipulate oil prices anymore. The US shale producers have mastered the craft of dealing with oil price shocks despite Saudi Arabia's attempts to flood the market with oil thereby reducing the price of oil and making it less profitable for American shale producers. Of course they are also doing all this to prepare for the Aramco IPO. I still believe they have the will to break off oil and diversify their economy. Hope Nigeria is taking cues as well.
OPEC as a bloc still controls oil market/prices. their decision to cut supply last week already drove crude prices upwards. check yourself man!

u probably didn't use ur own brain while typing. Israel is not the only holy land for Christians, In fact most Catholics visit the Vatican more than Israel.
If u are a sunni sorry but I have never seen a doctrine as confused as sunni Islam. Various countries practicing sunni Islam formulate their own doctrine, you hear of sunni violence and terrorism almost everywhere but u don't see that happening in Saudi the main founders of sunni islam. Saudi and it's sunni cohorts regards Christians as infidels am amazed the are adopting the calendar used by "infidels", what would Mohammed say about this.

This guy mumu pass goat... Which other holy land Christians has that is above ISTREALhuh If the total population of christians in ISTREAL is just 3%, this shows how ignorant the majority of you foreign Christians are... Besides, who told you that the January to December calendar belong to Christians? Research well before you prove your ignorance here... SOME CHRISTIANS EVEN SAID CATHOLICS ARE
IDOL WORSHIPPERS. Confused people!

I am not interested in ur extremist argument, ur islam is well known to the world. Catholics are idol worshippers said by some Christians but thank God it didn't bring about violence, we all know how your religion of peace is dealing with one another, shia vs sunni causing problems in a peaceful world. Better repent.

Yes, killing is a sin and is strongly condemned by any islamic scholar unlike ur clerics who encourage sinful acts because someone has died for ur sins and that is why a man will kill his mum for rituals and believes that he is as sinless as an innocent ordinary man on the street. I bow for ur logic grin grin grin
