>>40148563Saudi Arabia is not as simple as you seem. The leaders hearts are not with salafism but they are the custodians of Mecca and cannot govern without approval from very fundamentalist religious clerics. They can't force change without revolts but with rapid urbanizing middle class and modernization the younger generation is not so strict.
It is far different from Iran, where the hearts of the people do not lie in fundamentalism but the government wishes to steer it to extremism
