If the Cambodians can keep the Saudis out of the country, they might be able to hash Islam into a semi-decent religion instead of the Arab tribal voodoo bulls**t that's driving us nuts now.
But then again I'm a pessimist. I'll be looking for a rookie southpaw Saudi phenom to pitch in the World Series first...on a Friday.
King Abd Al Aziz Al Saud began the uniting of modern Saudia, Arabia with this victory at Riyadh.

No vodoo dolls in Wahabbism. They were even itching to destroy the tomb of Mohammed as idolatrous but they got word from the Sultan that the full force of the Ottoman armies would come down on them if they did that. Given that like most fanatics they respect force if they believe the will to use it is there they backed down.
