OK then I'll copy-past part of a reply to George which did address the issue. Happy now?
As I stated, simply being a Christian is not illegal and would not be reason for arrest. Preaching and holding a church service are. He turned up in the country with a Bible and a list of expat workers of the same faith, one of whom used his house for prayer meetings. He wasn't there for a camel ride. If you're not planning to make alcohol, you're not going to bring a still with you!
You are right in that the article did not say that he was preaching, but he would not have been arrested for simply being a Christian, because that is not a crime.
The visa application for KSA asks your religion. Each time I put "none", which makes me the worst of infidels, but I was never rejected. I knew Christians who had been there for years and even one who had pictures of Jesus on the wall of her shop. She had not fallen foul of the law, but she didn't have prayer meetings.
It is not a matter of bias. As it happens, I don't agree with the law, and I never said I did. Somehow you seem to believe that by not condemning it, I support it. Any traveller will tell you that it doesn't matter what laws or rights you are used to, when you enter a another country, all that goes out the window. You have to obey the laws of that country, whether you agree with them or not. If you don't, you are stupid. I'll give you an example. In all states here the legal drinking age is eighteen and I understand that in many states in the USA, the age is twenty-one. Would you expect that an eighteen year old Australian should deserve be able to thumb their nose at the local laws because he has the right to drink at that age at home or in other countries? Do you think if he were arrested, a defence of "I have the right to drink in my country so your law is wrong and I should be allow to drink"?

One time I went through customs entering KSA, I had in my luggage, a wad of photographs, which I had carelessly not checked thoroughly. The customs officer did however. I knew how sensitive they are to loveography and I knew that their idea of offensive was much different than mine, but I had unknowingly imported a photograph of a very hairy, half woman-half animal with half a dozen or so very exposed breasts. She was made of latex and a prop from a movie, but she still threw the customs officer into a tizz and I was hauled off to the little room. It took 20 min of questioning and explaining, but I was allowed to go on my way, with the photograph and a handshake and a good laugh from all concerned. It could have ended differently and I would not have blamed anyone but myself.
