	Hudson Institute > Publication Details
		Saudi Arabia is commonly thought to be an ancient kingdom with a homogeneous people.
		Before its conquest by Ibn Saud, the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia (EP), which lies along the shore of the Arabian Gulf and which contains all of Saudi Arabia’s oil fields, was populated mostly by two groups of Shiite Muslims who were quite different culturally and religiously from their Najdi conquerors.
		The great vulnerability of the Saudi regime that could make it possible for the U.S. to stop this flow is that the Wahhabis are only a small minority of the population of the EP of Saudi Arabia, from where all their money comes.

	Joel Mowbray on Saudi Arabia on National Review Online
		Saudi imams continue their calls for death and destruction — right under the eyes of the U.S. government.
		Saudi Arabia — and the State Department — cannot write off the imams' hateful diatribes chronicled in the cable as the statements of "independent" or "dissident" clerics.
		Questions of money aside, Saudi Arabia is a police state, so the fact that such public sermons are allowed to continue connotes tacit approval from the House of Saud.

	Asia Times - Asia's most trusted news source for the Middle East
		If the rulers of Saudi Arabia held out any hope that the post-September 11, 2001, demonization of their kingdom was finally waning, then someone in Riyadh should pick up a copy of An End to Evil, a recently published neo-conservative roadmap for "winning" the "war on terror".
