Saudis Want Terrorism De-Linked From Islam

The Saudi Arabian Human Rights Commission (HRC) has requested that its European Union counterparts and their governments not link terrorism to Islam.
The Commission is also asking the EU to draw up regulations to protect Muslims from prejudice and discrimination because of their faith.

The HRC claims Muslims are treated with disrespect, physically or mentally abused, or not allowed to practice their faith freely such as Muslim girls being prevented from wearing the hijab (head cover) in some schools.
The request will be made official at the Second Arab-European Dialogue on Human Rights and Terrorism later this month in Copenhagen. No information was provided about guaranteeing the human rights of Christians and Jews in Saudi Arabia.

Heh.
