That was the condition. That’s why the Sauds are the enemy, not allies
Still, I do think we have to give credit for what’s happening currently regarding how the Sauds New leadership and others are viewing it. Also that it takes a generation at least to undo the past. I also thin that as with Christianity with all it’s branches this is likewise among Islam.........personally all of Islam, regardless of which brand, is evil in my opinion and the cause of the instability and violence throughout the world including the East. However, religion aside Saudi is our ally.
Crown Prince Muhammad bin Salman on Oct. 2017 Regarding Wahhabism:
...”What happened in the last 30 years is not Saudi Arabia. What happened in the region in the last 30 years is not the Middle East. After the Iranian revolution in 1979, people wanted to copy this model in different countries, one of them is Saudi Arabia. We didn’t know how to deal with it. And the problem spread all over the world. ‘Now is the time to get rid of it’....
“Aug. 2016 ...........200 Muslim scholars from Egypt, Russia, Syria, Sudan, Jordan, and Europe rejected Saudi Arabia’s doctrine and considered a “frontal assault on Wahhabism”
