Saudi Arabia arrests a Christian on charges of proselytizing.

If Saudi law bans religious proselytizing by other faiths in its land, logic dictates that Saudi Govt. should not contribute, like it does by donations of millions of dollars for constructing mosques and dawa centers, to Islamic proselytizing in Non Muslim majority countries. But we don't see this. Muslims even say that Islam respects other religions while Saudi sheiks issue fatwas saying Islam abrogates all other religions and Non Muslims and Muslims can never be equal in Islam. What Muslims say to infidels never really stands the test of validity. Of course, this kind of Islamic propaganda on Islamic tolerance is part of its ambition to dominate the world by imposing sharia and even if it is false and deceptive propaganda, it is completely legitimate in Islam as doctrine of taqiyya says. Over all, one way  traffic is simply an Islamic trait:

An Eritrean Christian is facing the death penalty in Saudi Arabia after being arrested for sharing his faith with Muslims.
{{{

Mussie Eyob was detained by the authorities at a mosque in Saudi’s second largest city, Jeddah, on 12 February. He had gone there to meet and talk with local Muslims after speaking about Christianity at the Eritrean Embassy for three days. Eyob was arrested for preaching to Muslims, an offence that carries the death penalty in Saudi Arabia. 

Eyob, who was initially assumed to have mental health problems, was examined by doctors, who confirmed that he is fit for trial and sentencing. He was then transferred to the notorious high-security Briman Prison. His family are very concerned for his welfare there. 

They visited Eyob on 20 March and found that he had lost weight, though he was in relatively good spirits. He said that he is ready to die for his faith in Christ. 

Eyob, who committed to follow Christ just over two years ago, felt compelled to share his faith with local Muslims, despite the danger. 

Saudi Arabia is a strictly Islamic country that follows an extreme and puritanical version of Islam, Wahhabism. The country claims that the Quran is its constitution and that all its laws and regulations are promulgated in line with sharia, which prescribes the death penalty for converts from Islam. Consequently most converts keep their faith secret.

'Islamic emancipation' of women from Saudi Arabia.

Make temporary announcements to escape immediate criticism and then try to deflect attention from relevant issues. Standard Islamic procedure. Right after 9/11, Saudi Arabia, under international pressure, mentioned that it will be conducting municipal elections and women also can vote. When elections were conducted in the year 2005, women were not allowed to vote and instead, were promised that they could do so in next elections. But it turns out that, women casting their votes has to wait for more time, if at all they ever do so in future (one can read on this from here).

What is so un-Islamic about women voting? Well if they do vote, when votes are counted, votes cast by women have to be counted as equal to votes cast by men; but Islam says value of a Muslim woman is only half the value of a Muslim man and Koran says men are above women. Islam even says women are deficient in intelligence and religion too. Saudi law literally discriminates women in all fields like compensation in qisas: if maximum limit a Muslim man can be compensated for some injury or death is 100,000 rials, that limit is only 50,000 rials for women (one can read from here).

{{{
The few women in Jeddah working as cashiers are still doing so, but they fear that government ambivalence to the idea of women working in the service industry won’t protect them from being fired without notice due to their employers succumbing to social pressure, especially considering an official fatwa last year condemning any job where a woman might interact with a male customer, coworker or manager. .......

"Muslims and Non Muslims are not equal in Islam", a Saudi Sheikh says.

One of main purposes of many critics of Islam and Islamic law is to make Non Muslims to see the Islamic apartheid towards Non Muslims. When they do this, they are branded as islamaphobes, hate mongers and right wingers. But not one honest refutation of what islamaphobes say about Islam is attempted but the entire energy is directed towards shutting down discussions and analysis. So we have another islamaphobe here from Saudi Arabia, birth place of Islam, whose constitution is Koran and Hadith. Saudi Sheikh, 'Abd-al-Rahman bin Nasir al-Barrak is a senior cleric of Saudi Islamic establishment; he does not belong to fringe groups outside the ring. He says in his fatwa that Muslims and Non Muslims are not equal in Islam (The original fatwa in Arabic). Poor guy, after spending his entire life studying Islamic law, he is still accused of not understanding Koran properly by people who never read Koran! Then, this is insane world.

Women with “seditious” eyes must cover up; You see, Muslim men are never at fault for attractions and rapes.

Of  course we have seen Muslim ulema saying that muslims men can not be faulted if they rape women who do not wear veil (here or here). But it looks like, wearing veil is not sufficient for women; it must be really getting difficult for muslim men to control their urges; at least Saudi police think this way and are saying that Women with “seditious” eyes must cover up.

Moderate Islam? A Saudi Journalist is pelted with stones for driving in a woman's dress.

Women can not drive in Saudi Arabia. Yes, it is few authorities in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia who misinterpreted Islam badly, but people are moderate Muslims and Islam is really kind and liberating for women!
