Burial Rules
Under Saudi Arabian traditions, non-Muslims should not be buried inside the borders of the country. In 2012, however, the country made a minor change. These burial restrictions were eased but only under specific circumstances.
Television Controversy
The late King Faisal brought TV to the Saudi nation back in 1965. Unsurprisingly, the religious fanatics were in strong opposition of television, claiming that it was salacious. Only ten years later, in 1975, one of the nephews of the king was shot dead by the police after he lead an assault on one TV station. In that same year, the brother of the king’s deceased nephew assassinated King Faisal. For this murder, the perpetrator was later beheaded publicly.
