That is an interesting thought. I am wondering what will be the actual Saudi public response.
You have provided manner
I’ll buy into your thought
Saudi Arabia is intensively policed for political opposition. Only communist China has a higher percentage of its population dedicated to spying on the rest of the population. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is an absolute dictatorship.
Saudis are used to keeping their finger in the wind, for any shift in public policy, and falling over themselves in a rush to swear what a great idea it is.
The main Islamist hardline preachers have already been arrested, and are facing potential death sentences - even highly popular figures with millions of (former) social media followers.
So officially, public opinion will fall right into line. My sense is that the huge (disproportionally) younger parts of the population are really yearning for modernization, social liberalization, and International openness. They would be amenable to welcoming this deal. A hard core of die hard Wahabbis will probably present a serious assassination risk, for a long time to come.
