A long time ago I figured out that Islam was Big Business. Or should that be - Religion is Big Business.

I am my own worst enemy and best friend, itsa bit of a squeeze in a three-quarter bed, tho. Unhinged!? If I was a dog I would be having kittens, that is unhinged. Footloose n fancy free, forced to fit, fated to fly. One or 2 words, 3 and 3/thirds, looking comely but lonely, till I made them homely.D

Originally it was the Brits. It was T. E. Lawrence who helped the al Sauds to unite the tribes of Arabia under their rule. If they hadn't had the might of the British Empire behind them during their wars with the Turks in the early part of the 20th century the al Sauds would just be the remote, backward, Najdi tribe they originally were and the al Sheikh (Wahabbi) tribe would not be the religious guide of the reigning tribe of Arabia.

Atheism is a non-prophet organization.

Not entirely. While the British did seek to unite the Arab tribes against the Ottomans, it was not in cooperation with the Al Saud. After the Sykes-Picot agreement swindled the revolting Arab tribes out of their promised independent Arab nation, the British and French set up protectorates and colonies in Trans Jordan, Iraq, Yemen, and Trucial Oman. The Arabian heartland was seen as a sort of backward wasteland that no one much cared about. Abdullah Philby,a British convert to Wahabism and a senior advisor of Ibn Saud, was instrumental in convincing the British to allow Ibn Saud to unite the Arabian heartland under Saudi rule. The British agreed so long as the Saudis stayed within the bounds of the interior and did not attack their protectorates. At first, the Al Saud and their band of marauding Ikhwan raiders complied, but as the Ikhwan saw all non-Wahabis as kuffar, they quickly wanted to expand their raids and conquests into Iraq, the Trans Jordan, and Yemen. Ibn Saud knew that confronting the British would mean the end of his reign, so he tried to disband the Ikhwan. The Ikhwan revolted against Ibn Saud and continued with their assaults on British territories. The British dealt with them decisively and left Ibn Saud to rule the peninsula. Oil was discovered shortly thereafter and the rest, as they say, is history.

`But I don't want to go among mad people,' Alice remarked.
`Oh, you can't help that,' said the Cat: `we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.'
`How do you know I'm mad?' said Alice.
`You must be,' said the Cat, `or you wouldn't have come here.'

I've only seen it since the summer. I'd assume it's temporary and that it's to make up for lost space with the construction.
