Persecution in Oman

Oman has been an absolute monarchy since 1970 when Sultan Qaboos took control, declaring "Oman in the past was in darkness….but a new dawn will rise." While Qaboos was able to increase the country's wealth, another darkness persists - the darkness in the hearts of Oman's people who are caught in the clutches of Islam. The Christian population consists almost entirely of foreign workers, with perhaps no more than twenty indigenous believers.
