"The majority of Saudi citizens are Sunni Muslims predominantly adhering to the 
strict interpretation of Islam taught by the Salafi or Wahhabi school that is 
the official state religion."

Lawrence, the Wahhabis (OBL's religion) are the most militant Islamic group.  
Wahhabism is also the official state religion of Saudi Arabia, a regime that we 
support.  How are these two things reconciled?
