The Saudi's you meet in the America or the west are the rich aristocracy. For the most part, these people aren't extremists. And that's why the West has a hard time dealing with the problem. The people who ostensibly rule the Kingdom aren't salafists. But the actual people in the Saudi Arabia, the commoner, is very fundamentalist. It's a dysfunctional country propped up with a deal with the devil. The fundamentalists get most of what they want, while the royal family keeps their money and their land. It's not an easy fix. If the world turned on the royal family, they'd fall from power and be immediately replaced by fundamentalists. Fundies now backed with the worlds largest supply of oil. Also, the fundamentalist cancer they spread is now too far gone. Even if Saudi's went back to total poverty like they were in 100 years ago, the roots of radicalization are already in other countries. Moderate Islam needs an organized response, but there has been none.
