Islam And The West

Have you ever heard the fact that there are no Christian churches in Arabia? If you answered yes you might just be wrong. The Arab emirate of Qatar home to Al-Jazeera television has begun work on building a purpose built Roman Catholic Church:

“Work has begun on the construction of Qatar’s first purpose-built church in the desert outside Doha, the country’s capital.

Roman Catholics from all over the Arabian Peninsula – many of them migrant workers – are helping to pay for the $15m building, which is scheduled to open at the end of the year.

Overseeing the church is Paul Hinder, the Catholic Church’s Bishop of Arabia. A Christian in the heart of the Muslim world, his diocese is the entire Arabian peninsular, encompassing six countries.

Hinder told Al Jazeera that often people are more active Christians during their one or two years labouring in the Arabian peninsular than they are when they are back home.

Certainly, turn-out at church services all over the Arabian peninsular is significant. Numbers in the congregations regularly beat those in congregations in Europe and even in the United States.

The majority of the two million expatriate Christians who attend these services are Filipinos, Lebanese and Indians who have come to the Gulf for work.” (Source: Al-Jazeera)
