Saudi Arabia reasoning for policies regarding non-Muslim religious practice[edit]

The recent changes by IP 2607:FEA8:2B80:1D0B:49DF:644F:3D56:B826 came up in Recent Changes flagged as "Likely to have problems". Presumably that was due to the nature of this article, and possibly some of the key words used in the edit. While the edit seemed strongly biased, it also shed light on the logic behind some of the statistics cited, so an undo seemed unwarranted.

Since the edit was directly before a citation, I read the citation to see if that opinion was expressed in that document, and I did not find it there. At that point, I intended to move the citation to be closer to it's referenced text, but while performing additional research, the text was moved to the beginning of the section.

My additional research confirmed both the interpretation of Hindu icons as idols, and that the Sunni Muslim prohibitions on idol worship were particularly strongly enforced in Saudi Arabia. I therefore rephrased the edit in terms more suited for a neutral point of view and added my new citation.

If you have any questions or concerns about my edit, or suggestions for improvement, please reach out to me. Kohrmy (talk) 04:51, 28 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.

To not merge; uncontested objection and no support; independent notability and readers are best served by having the content separate. Klbrain (talk) 14:15, 10 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Just 1 paragraph in the target page is enough. Why the unnecessary extra article pages? Portwoman (talk) 12:06, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
