Okay, I have something to base my opinion on and you might have something for yours too. Won’t argue.

Having ISIS around threatens Saudi security. The last thing the government of Saudi Arabia wants is their people to get the idea that they need some kind of caliphate, instead of the current secular (i.e. not a caliph) leaders.

I will give you this: No country in the world has a better collection of classical musicians than Russia.

The country's leaders are a family, which comprises thousands of princes from that family. All those princes get a dividend check every month. They are all very wealthy.

And there allegiance is to money, not Allah. Of course, they can't publicly indicate this. Because the population of Saudia Arabia is much more religious. And they wouldn't like it if they knew how their leaders thought and acted.

And the last thing they want is some kind of religious uprising in their country. How long would they last if their subjects decided they want a Caliphate, like ISIS talks about, instead of the secular leaders? They's probably end up dead, and they'd certainly lose all their Rolls Royces. The ones they don't keep overseas anyway.

I know a lot of Freepers thing Saudi's leadership loves extremist Islam, but it simply isn't true.
