Never had any direct experience of the Bible issue but I'd say yes it is true. In my many years here I have heard many anecdotal and some factual stories. For example [this is true] a Saudi I know was telling me how he had reported his housemaid for practicing "Magic" in his home. This poor wretch was arrested and put in prison and then deported. I imagine the "magic" was probably something like Astrology or maybe Tarot cards. I very much doubt she was sacrificing babies and drinking their blood ;-)
