As for people attaching Islamic entities...Saudi included....you can understand why that is.

But I think there are some Islamic Gov. Leaders who are more focused at retaining their positions and revenues then they are of conquering the world......though they’d certainly jump on the band wagon of a Caliphat under their control.

The moving party in the East is Iran.....SAudi seems to be simply responding to what they perceive as threats to their power.

Cronos thinks Saudi Arabia and Wahhabism in particular has been corrupting Islam in the region making it more radical.

He may be right. I don’t have a way of knowing what the Saudi Wahhabis have been up to with regard to that.

What exactlyd o you mean by "moving party"? The Iranis took the opportunity of a Sunni collapse in Iraq to move in and reacted tot he SAudis and Qataris trying to topple Assad with their own move (Assad's Alevis are imho not even Moslems, though they brand themselves as such, they are a religion between Islam and Christianity with a little Gnosticism put in)
