Saudi Arabian including Bin Ladin. The predominant form of Islam In Saudi Arabia is Wahhabism, considered the most strict and regressive form of Islam by many.
Osama bin Ladin was from a wealthy Saudi family. His proclaimed reason for attacking America was because of U S troops being on Saudi land, not in Afghanistan. He just trained for the attacks in Afghanistan.
So why, again, is anyone surprised that an attack on America would come from a Saudi?

(9,350 posts)Killing a dissident is standard operating procedure for Saudi Arabia.

It was reported, this morning, on CBS Sunday Morning that while the Saudi Kingdom has made a big deal of allowing women to drive, they have also been cracking down on dissidents.
