214. Over thirteen centuries ago, a new world religion was born in ancient Mecca, which has spread to the four corners of the globe. One out of every seven people in the world today happens to be a Muslim. Islam not only sets forth articles of faith, but also prescribes a moral code for the individual. In this context of Islam, which combines lofty principles with a moral code, Saudi Arabia is an Islamic State in the full sense of the word. Its constitution is the Koran itself, which has set the foundation of a way of life. This way of life for an estimated 500 million, if not more, of the world's population, has withstood the test of many centuries.
