Did Christianity take hold in Saudi Arabia?

Yes. Prior to Islam, there were Christian communities throughout Arabia, especially in the city of Najran, which is close to the Yemeni border. However, Caliph Omar forcibly resettled the Arabian Christians in the Levant because he believed that it was Mohammed's wish that Arabia be of only one religion. As of today, Christianity is only semi-legal in Saudi Arabia. Conversion to Christianity from Islam is illegal as is proselytization (both are liable for the death penalty or a minimum of many lashes). For this reason, there are no open Saudi Christian communities. There are communities of foreigners who are Christian, but on account of the punishments, they dare not reach out to avoid trouble.
