Personally I don't think regime change in KSA is feasible. No one would pursue that option. The West won't be nuking Mecca either, that's too farfetched, at least at present.

Equally, the royal family in S. Arabia includes many princes, not just the King. They don't share the same opinion. As you say, the Saudi Royal Family hand out a lot of money, donations shall we say. Islamic State (IS) aside, it's been know for years that some of that considerable money goes towards education of muslims who reside abroad. That education is neither secular nor about 'moderate' Islam. I know that for a fact in Australia and the UK.

In the end, I think groups such as IS will be the greatest threat for the Saudi royal family or members of it. And his majesty am sure knows he'll have to deal with internal turmoil within his own very large family.

I think so too. It may come sooner than we think too. I don’t want to suggest it will, but it may.

I agree with your comments.

It was my understanding for the most part that the Saudi students got a Western education. I wasn’t under the impression that endeared them to us, because they still go home and become our enemies.

Osama Bin Laden was education here if I remember correctly. If he wasn’t there’s a long list of others who were, that become big problems.

Thanks for the comments.
