Status of the Persecuted Church in Kuwait
January 15, 2010
Muslim Population: 85% (Christian Population: less than 15%)
By law only Muslims can become Kuwaiti citizens. Christians are severely marginalized with few civil rights. The government provides tax incentives to Muslims that are unavailable to those of other faiths. Authorities have even purchased Bibles in order to burn them.
Foreign Christians are permitted to have a few worship centers. Proselytizing Muslims is forbidden.
