In an attempt to silence dissidents and activists, Saudi Arabia has passed laws that define all atheists as ‘terrorists.’ The new laws are being criticised widely, and are considered direct violations of freedom of speech and expression. They define a terrorist as: -Anyone who calls for atheist thought in any form, or calling into question the fundamentals of the Islamic religion on which this country is based; -Anyone who disregards their loyalty to the countrys rulers; -Anyone who aids [terrorist] organisations, groups, currents [of thought], associations, or parties, or demonstrates affiliation with them, or sympathy with them, or promotes them, or holds meetings under their umbrella, either inside or outside the kingdom; Those who seek to shake the social fabric or national cohesion, or anyone who harms the unity or stability of the kingdom by any means; -Attends conferences, seminars, or meetings inside or outside [the kingdom] targeting the security of society, or sowing discord in society; -Incites or make countries, committees, or international organisations antagonistic to the kingdom.
