Thanks for the great facts! I thought #10 was a trick question since it says 'county' instead of 'country', can you fix this please?

Birthdays are not generally observed in Saudi Arabia, either, but not technically illegal. I do think public observances of any holidays other than eid al-fitr, eid al-adha, and (unofficially) Saudi national day are illegal, and Muhammad's birthday is a popular holiday among Shia Muslims (not Sunni and definitely not Wahabis)... but I'm not sure how strictly enforced this is since the religious police were stripped of all their power a few years ago.
