This would be great if it happened.
A large part of why Saudi Arabia went extermist, from what I read, is due to the militant extremist seizure of the Grand Mosque, the holiest site in Islam, in 1979

The Saudi Arabia responded to the seizure by making the country much more extreme. They also supported thousands of extremist madrassas in many Muslim nations, and this did a great deal to help groups like Al Queda and ISIS recruit members.
