Pork is not just disgraced in Saudi Arabia, but all over the Muslim world. Muslims do not eat pork because they view the pig as a dirty animal, and if you eat it you are eating dirty food.

How are non-muslims treated in Saudi Arabia?

Answer 1Anyone who is not Sunni Muslim is treated horribly and all religions aside from Sunni Islam are illegal. Naturally conversion out of Sunni Islam to any other religion (aside from Shiite Islam) is a punishable offense and proselytization of any non-Sunni Islamic faith is also a punishable offense.Shiite Muslims: Currently, there is government-level repression of Shiite Islam in Saudi Arabia. The Shiites, roughly 15% of the total population, are actively banned from government positions, have many sectors of the economy closed to them, and have minimal say even in their own protection. Additionally, Wahhabis have issued fatwas against Shiite Muslims, written textbooks slandering their faith, actively banned Ashura and other Shiite festivals, and in some cases prevented the creation of Shiite burial grounds.Christians: Most Christians in Saudi Arabia are immigrants (usually from the Philippines). They are forbidden from building churches or praying in any public place. They are not allowed to drink any alcoholic beverages or eat pork. They are oftentimes prevented from owning land in Saudi Arabia so that the land never passes to a Non-Muslim.Jews: Jews are expressly prohibited from living or working in Saudi Arabia, never mind praying. Additionally, the Saudi government supports and funds the publishing of Anti-Semitic Texts such as Mein Kampf and the Protocols of Zion. The Saudi government also publishes textbooks for worldwide distribution claiming that Jews are the descendants of apes and pigs.Hindus:Most Hindus in Saudi Arabia are immigrants (usually from India). Since Hindus are considered idolaters, should they be found praying, this is actually an offense. Idols are confiscated when found. Praying in public or any obvious signs of Hindu belief are also punishable.Please see the Related Links below which serve as partial evidence for the above statements. The idea that persons who are not Sunnis are treated equal to Sunnis is so ludicrous that it borders on the absurd.Answer 2Non-musilm in Saudi Arabia usually treated in same way musilm treated, but there are some of people are ignorant so maybe will treated unrespectful.
