It might be an egregious conflation to say that 'all practices of ISIS' are enshrined by law in Saudi Arabia, but it's maybe a bit naive to think the two don't share some problematic ideology. I think recent leadership has been making some changes to bring SA more in line with Western liberal values, but hostile (religious-based) policy towards women[0], LGBTIQ+[1], and apostate Muslims[2], is still heavily enforced. The road to reform on any of these fronts is a long one. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women%27s_rights_in_Saudi_Arabia#Change https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women%27s_rights_in_Saudi_Arab...
