So you believe it was the abandonment of Islam that led to the arrested development? I can see where this could be plausible. how a small handful of nomadic thugs can rise to prominence so quickly upon the world stage is astonishing. What I don't understand is why the rest of the Arab world looks to Saudi Arabia as the keeper of the faith. to make a comparison, the Saudi's are to the rest of islam, as migrant farm workers are to mainstream America. how does the rest of the Arab world tolerate this?
yes i do believe that the abandonment of Islam has led to all the Muslims miseries. Arabs look at Saudi as the keeper of faith for many reasons and i can tell you a few:
1- it's where the prophet Mohammad was born and where he delivered his message
2- it's where the Kaaba is. the Kaaba is where all the Muslims pray towards and is greatest mosque on earth.
3- it's where mecca is. mecca is where all the pilgrimages come and do their hajj.
4- it's the only country in the world to go by full Islamic law, and has the highest number of religions Muslims and everything Islamic related.
i would say that when it comes to holding on to the religion, no one is even close to Saudi Arabia. but then again most of the population is not that religious, so what would that make the other Arabs....
