Saudi religious persecution

You may not be aware of this, or you may most likely not care but Arab (and Muslim) governments that receive Saudi financial aid are under pressure always to show firm resolve against any manifestation of Shi`ite religious worship.  Morocco famously declared that it cracked a huge conspiracy of Shi`itization of the country, in return for Saudi cash.  Now, the Egyptian Military Council has ordered the closure of a Husayniyyah.  If those crackdowns and persecution were directed against Jewish worship, the Security Council would have taken up the matter.
