Saudi Arabia and Egypt the most religious repressive regimes

What a shocker.

A Pew study of the religious tolerance found the the 10 most repressive countries with regard to religious tolerance are muslim majority countries. Saudi Arabia came in at number 1, Iran closely followed in at number 2, Egypt at number 3 and the rest are some sh*t holes in the Middle East and North Africa. Reuters

DALLAS (Reuters) - U.S. allies Saudi Arabia and Egypt are among 10 mostly Muslim nations whose governments impose the most curbs on religion, according to a report on Wednesday by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life.

Afghanistan's government also ranked poorly, highlighting a potentially sensitive diplomatic flashpoint as President Barack Obama sends more U.S. troops to the Central Asian country to quell a growing insurgency.[...]

The first index ranked 10 mostly Muslim countries as "very high." It also included China and mostly Buddhist Myanmar.

No. 1 oil exporter and U.S. Middle East ally Saudi Arabia was ranked the most restrictive, followed by U.S. adversary Iran. Pew noted both impose limits on minority faiths and "enforce strict interpretations of Islamic law."
