My guess is that this is partly payback for the bin Ladins being indirectly involved (through their blood ties to Osama) in a supersized coup attempt against the Saudi royal family via the 9/11 attacks.

I would think the Saudis would be proud of Osama bin Laden and the Muslims who attacked us on 9-11.

The Saudis are Wahhabi Sunni Muslims and have spent billions of dollars all over the world to promote the fundamentals of Islam, which means they would not have any use or love for us infidels , and would relish us getting killed. - Tom

They make a show of piety because their troglodyte population demands it. They export their nutjobs because it’s preferable (both to them and to us) to these nutjobs fomenting Islamist revolution at home. We don’t need al Qaeda in charge of the region’s oilfields, and sending nukes in the direction of our cities with the hundreds of billions in annual funding they would get directly from the oil revenues.

Remember how left-wingers assured us that Saddam’s Iraq was secular? How is it that the Sunni Arabs in Iraq, supposedly the most secular people in a secular nation, formed the backbone of an Islamist revolt that killed thousands of GI’s? The simple answer is that they’re not actually secular. And that’s in Iraq.

If we killed the entire population of Saudi Arabia, except for the royals while replacing that population with Filipino Catholics, I suspect the al Sauds would be baptized and take Holy Communion the very next day. Real life isn’t a Disney movie. Subjects aren’t led by the nose. Sunni Muslims in particular are partial to violent revolution against insufficiently devout rulers. The Sunni sect is derived from Muhammad’s generals who killed Muhammad’s grandson, whereas the Shiite sect holds the view that Muhammad’s line was the legitimate successor to the Caliphate. Bottom line is that if Sunnis have no problem with killing Muhammad’s grandson, they certainly have no issues with killing *any* Muslim who stands in the way of the true faith, and that includes the entire Saudi royal family.

It used to be that illiterate Muslims were led by their priests as to what Islam was all about. Be good to your parents. Don’t leave marks when you beat your wife. Be loyal to your sultan. Whereas illiteracy is all but stamped out among the Muslim community today. They can read the Koran for themselves, in all its blood-soaked glory. And that Koran tells them it’s just peachy to kill and make an example of their rulers in gruesome ways, for insufficient devotion to its precepts.

That’s leaving aside the question of why you’d be proud of someone who inflicts huge damage on a third party and tries to stick you with the bill. Let’s say some Christian explodes a bomb that kills a thousand Muslims, and points the finger to you as his inspiration and mentor. Would you be proud of him?
